Trump’s Fed Goon Admits He’s Not The ‘Smartest’ But Is Happy to Be ‘Annoying’

The man Donald Trump wants to install on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors has offered backhanded compliments to himself ahead of his expected move.

“I’m never going to claim to be the smartest person in the room,” Stephen Miran, chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told The Wall Street Journal. “I’m happy to be the most annoying person in the room.”

The Journal notes that Stephen Miran repeatedly argued that the Fed shouldn’t cut rates while Joe Biden was president. / Elizabeth Frantz/Reuters
