Stephen Moore, Trump ally, withdraws from contention for Fed seat (Paywall)

President Trump was dealt another setback in his bid to put a political ally on the Federal Reserve board as plans to appoint Stephen Moore, a conservative commentator and economist, collapsed amid a backlash sparked by Moore’s past writings and statements that disparaged women and gender equity.

Trump said in a tweet Thursday that Moore “has decided to withdraw from the Fed process.” It came just hours after Moore insisted publicly that he was not dropping out.

Moore, okay sure, he's a Trump-like guy
but why should that be any reason why
Moore is unfit to serve on the Fed Reserve —
jus' coz he treats the babes the way they deserve?

Moore, he's in Donald's camp and would be a rubber stamp,
jiggling rates without question bringing on the Trump Depression.
Is only two more years sufficient time
to assure U.S. complete decline?
Under this dumb dud Trump each day brings a new speed bump
so queue up the next best Stephen Moore.
