The White House is standing behind the proposed nomination of Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve board, following reports of his past legal and financial problems

These include a court’s decision to hold Mr. Moore in contempt in 2012 for failing to pay his ex-wife more than $300,000 as part of a divorce agreement.

maggieNYT He should fit right in.

Bamos a ver que nadie meta sus manos ladronas

Who would expect anything less than a walking disaster for the Fed nominee from the trump admin, they go out of their way to find these people!

The WH says he is perfect. He has the same deficiencies as the man at the top. He’ll fit in perfectly.

Only the best!!!

Trickle up economics..and the new Jim Crow..great. 😐

TYPICAL TRUMP LACKEY

maggieNYT Of course, remember Ali baba and the 40 thieves?

Trump nominates the best worst candidates.

At least he sounds like a quality family man with solid values. Much like trump himself and the flunkies of which he surrounds himself.

wechoosewisdom I give that about a week. He will be dumped as soon as Trump figures out who to use as a scapegoat for his administration’s failure (again) to properly vet the nominee.

Wrong this is more swamp, just because he supports Trumpy

FakeNews Move on!

Would anyone really expect anything any different from WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump GOP the worse they are the better for them because he's just like them.

Y'all don't see it as a statement being made here. Even a blind person can see this. The point here is if bankrupting of several businesses don't stop you,then neither should your past money problem when dealing with the reserve leadership

Good luck buddy!

maggieNYT Birds of a feather!

Some really absurd tweets here. Stephen Moore would be a good addition to the Federal Reserve.

maggieNYT Ready to push him under the bus when his toxicity becomes too much. He’ll be deemed a great guy and be escorted out. He’s a joke.

Of course they're standing behind him. Look at the guy who's appointing him. A man who's been bankrupt multiple times, had affairs on all three of his wives, is such a poor businessman he bankrupt his own Casino. And oh we still haven't seen his tax returns.

Of course, he's perfect for Trump's team. Totally unqualified, no knowledge of economics, and these crazy ideas about interest rates. He'll fit in perfectly with DeVos, Munchn, Carson, who else, it's such a revolving door I can't keep track. They are all totally incompetent.

Of course they are!!! Still filling the swamp.

Thugs and goons.

maggieNYT What a surprise....

And wsj is silent

In accounting it's called 'sunk fund mentality.'

Tony323g Only the best...🙄

Stephen Moore is nothing more than an extension of unfounded idiotic trumpnomics of deep tax cuts, huge budget deficits, trade wars and imbalances, and soon to come economic crises.

maggieNYT Of course they are. He meets the high *Barr* for criminal

Of course they are

maggieNYT Just one more SwampThing...

Another “winner”

maggieNYT Nothing but a toady StephenMoore

NoMoore totally unqualified realDonaldTrump WorstPresidentEver

KLE1967 Of course they do. He fits right in!

maggieNYT Was there ever any doubt?

Slimey crooks and cheats throughout this administration.

I’m surprised he didn’t nominate El Chapo for the FDA.

maggieNYT The best people*

Economic genius a surpurb addition to federal reserve GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP THERE U GO AGAIN

maggieNYT Trump only hires the absolute best,so this guy will fit right in,so much winning I can't handle much more.

And evidently real collar issues.

He owes the IRS 150k - come on gop senatemajldr senategop do better

He's such a duffel.

The perfect namanie, compromised.

maggieNYT WTF!

Kiss of death

Of course, the more criminals the better. All the Trumpesters love the bad boys💩💩

Consistently this administration appoints/hires the criminal and corrupt as a mechanicism to create loyalty. They purposely hire the desperate and defunct because their desperation to be in these positions creates an obedience, no matter the cost to country and their character.

Trump: 'I don't know why they needed to see his taxes in the first place. Its not like he's going to have anything to do with money, or revenue, or banks or anything like that. He's going to be a Governor right?'

maggieNYT Totally on brand.

Great choice from Trump! If you have had trouble with the law? you’re Trump’s guy!

Of course they do. You need to be shady to work there.

That’s because he fits the Trump mold! Dishonest and greedy!

Why am I not surprised... another unethical appointee

maggieNYT Of course they do. For trump being a lout and incompetent is a feature not a bug.

maggieNYT One deadbeat supporting another

Might as well put a dodgy git like Moore nearer to the money so the the Trump family have better access to it

maggieNYT What a idiot, keep him away !!!!!

jentaub McConnell will go nuclear for this guy

maggieNYT More corrupt people Trump can surround himself with.

maggieNYT Because of course they are.

😂😂😂😂😂 Wasn't it funny as G'Damn Hell when Coward Cadet Bone Spurs Trump, Who has been Implicated in a FELONY, boasted he picked only the Best People.😂😂😂😂😂 Those were Good times.

maggieNYT Truth in Journalism - “Moore is a former member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board.”

Get rid of 1 dipsh*t and another hatches. Guess this guy was busy.....

The more fxxked up the better. trump motto

maggieNYT That’s so Trumpian.

Swamp

maggieNYT I come from a family of CPAs and have an MBA myself. No tax policy expert is going to confuse 'alimony' and 'child support' payments for IRS deductions. Ever. No outside CPA is going to do it for him either, unless they were grouped together under one label.

maggieNYT This article Stephen Moore penned is alone disqualifying for any public service.

JohnRya95081680 Of course they are ! Again, birds of a feather....

Past?

maggieNYT Just spitballing here but if the WH wants all this stuff criminal investigation stuff to go away maybe they should appoint someone who is NOT a criminal to, really, any position.

maggieNYT Does he just keep hiring these people so that their unsuitability and questionable ethics can be exposed? How does anybody LOGICALLY explain the constant choices of unsuitable peoplem Is this draining the swamp?

maggieNYT 'Only The Best', lol.

A guy who isn't qualified for his position, owes money, and has cheated on his wife. Sounds like an ideal Trump Administration nominee to me

maggieNYT He just another crook in the administration, if he wasn’t he’d probably be shunned. Being a low life and looser is a prerequisite for the Trump Administration.

maggieNYT Because of course they do.

maggieNYT Putting Stephen Moore on the Fed is like putting Jenny McCarthy in charge of the FDA. What's his qualifications? Our idiot President saw him on TV?

maggieNYT We hire only the best people.

maggieNYT Of course they are. Only the best people 🤪🤪🤪

Him and Kellyanne are the very best people😜....... NOT

April fools?

His utter lack of qualifications notwithstanding

Of course🤮

ofcourse yet another of the best people well best people left unconvicted or indicted and or under investigation.

maggieNYT It just keeps getting better. I'm wondering how many years ... or decades it will take to repair the damage.

If Republicans backed down in the face of ethical, legal and financial issues we wouldn’t have Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. They don’t care about laws or ethics.

Past legal and financial problems is a Trump euphemism for 'a broad skill set and a wealth of experience'.

maggieNYT Right? Nothing screams “Nominate this man for an important position on our nation’s chief financial board” like a personal history of dubious financial behavior. His legal troubles just make it easier to nestle up into Drumpf’s good graces...

Oh God this guy is a joke.... Donald Trump shutdown the government and that's why we lost a huge amount of GDP.... A crazy drop and stuff and more want to lower interest rates because they blame the FED which is stupid

Standards have been lowered to historic lows.

Only because they finally reached the bottom of the barrel and they can’t find another swamp creature to take a crappy job. So yeah let’s nominate the guy who doesn’t even know what he’s doing🙄

Why would moral values in politics matter now?

HELL YEAH !

maggieNYT Stench!

Was this the same press release issued for Nauert? Perhaps with her name crossed out in gold Sharpie.

Isn’t that guy a TV personality?

In other words, Moore will withdraw his nomination on Friday at 5 pm, in order not to be a distraction, or to spend more time with his family, or both.

maggieNYT Seems consistent w everything this WH does. More swamp creatures to replenish pond

maggieNYT Only the Best!!!!

maggieNYT Lol. Of course they are.

maggieNYT They stood by Ray Moore too. Moore disaster.

After you fully back a pedophile for Senate, supporting a deadbeat dad and tax evader probably seems like small potatoes. Morality is to Trump (and to Rupert Murdoch, your boss) what the cross is to Dracula.

maggieNYT Well of course they are...

maggieNYT Seems Trump will give ANYONE top secret clearances?

maggieNYT The best people

maggieNYT Why not ? What is another crook , drain the swamp.

Very on brand for Trump. Pick the worst as long as they praise him.

maggieNYT Thats a prerequisite to being in this abhorrent administration

maggieNYT Duh.

maggieNYT It’s the criminal and corrupt WH. You have to be a fraud and cheater to get in!

maggieNYT Of course they are...

jentaub Stephan Moore should avoid more scandals and withdraw his name.

maggieNYT Of course, because Trump and his administration seek those who have no qualifications as we all know. That why it’s a shit show everyday!

Shocking 🙄

maggieNYT Of course it does

maggieNYT StephenAtHome sethmeyers ConanOBrien KellyannePolls BREAKING !!!!! Two more Biden accusers issue statements Playing The New Game in Politics...

maggieNYT Of course they are. The amount of corruption in the WH is staggering.

maggieNYT Why shouldn't;t they? They have gotten to do whatever they want with no consequences.

maggieNYT 🤮Stephen Moore🤮

maggieNYT “Past”?

Scary

maggieNYT I’m shocked. completesarcasm

maggieNYT Of course they are. You gotta love the corrupt!

maggieNYT At this point it's a CAH cards against humanity template. 'The White House is standing behind the nomination of ______ despite accusations of rampant ________'

maggieNYT

What 😮

In order to satisfy Putin, Trumps White House has to put the most questionable, unfit or unqualified people in the most important positions. Im sure the Kremlin is cheering at these decisions. Destruction from within.

maggieNYT This administration would appoint the goddamn hamburgaler to the head of hamberder affairs if they could

Stephen Moore's problem is not that he is a clueless political hack. It is that he is a clueless political hack, but does not realize that.

jentaub Great. Tax and child support evasion are mandatory for any Trump administration position.

jentaub WTF

Deja Vu all over again.

between Israel and Palestine

And this is a surprise because....?

not surprising Trump is the Antichrist his job is to divide the country and spew hatred and create chaos and the people around him are protecting him and destroying evidence.He start ww3 in his 2 term and bring one world government to reality and make the 7 yr false peace treaty

Has there ever been a more illiterate person for a proposed nomination?

Of course they are.

Facebook says it will now block white nationalist, white separatist postsFacebook on Wednesday said it would begin banning posts, photos and other content that reference white nationalism and white separatism, revising its rules in response to criticism that a loophole had allowed racism to thrive on its platform. Previously, Facebook only had prohibited users from sharing messages that glorified white supremacy -- a rhetorical discrepancy, in the eyes of civil-rights advocates, who argued that white nationalism, supremacy and separatism are indistinguishable and that the policy undermined the tech giant's stepped-up efforts to combat hate speech online.
