OK just one more post! LMAO!

Look at JPs reaction while he is lying...

The "Martin Building" refers to a specific section of the Federal Reserve Board headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was part of a comprehensive renovation project that President Trump recently toured and publicly criticized. During the visit, Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell engaged in a tense exchange about the project's cost, with Powell correcting Trump's claim about a cost overrun. The Martin Building, specifically, was renovated five years ago, not newly constructed as implied by Trump. [1, 2, 3, 4]


Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • The Martin Building is part of the Fed's headquarters: It's not a separate building but an older section of the main Federal Reserve complex that underwent renovation. [1, 1, 2, 5]
  • Renovation controversy: The overall renovation project has been a point of contention between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve, with the administration criticizing the cost and scope of the project. [2, 2, 5, 5, 6, 6]
  • Powell corrected Trump: During the tour, Powell clarified that the Martin Building was not a newly built structure, as Trump seemed to suggest. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3]
  • Trump questioned the cost: Trump publicly questioned the cost of the renovations, calling it a "very luxurious situation". [2, 2, 6, 6]
  • Feud between Trump and Powell: The visit and subsequent remarks highlighted the ongoing tension and conflict between President Trump and Fed Chair Powell. [6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8]
