President Trump finally got a chance to personally visit the insane multi-billion-dollar Federal Reserve renovations project today.
Accompanied by Chairman Jerome Powell, he toured the facility himself.
We already knew that the cost of the project has somehow already ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion.
But, during his visit, President Trump revealed that it has risen even higher — to $3.1 billion!
Powell seemed unaware himself and tried to argue with President Trump about the inflating cost of the project.
That’s when President Trump pulled out the receipts — literally!
The look on Powell’s face as he was confronted with the facts was priceless.
Watch for yourself:

President Trump had previously revealed this little detail on Truth Social before heading out for the tour.
Read that post here:
Getting ready to head over to the Fed to look at their, now, $3.1 Billion Dollar (PLUS!) construction project. Also present will be Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Senator Tim Scott, Senator Thom Tillis, OMB Director Russ Vought, Chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bill Pulte, my Appointees to the National Capital Planning Commission, James Blair and Will Scharf, and various other construction professionals.
Whoops, did President Trump just catch on to something he wasn’t supposed to?…
After that, Powell appeared perturbed throughout the entire time he was with President Trump.
Folks on X noticed:
Powell looks like he’s cowering. 🤣

Jerome Powell looks super uncomfortable in a $3B remodel while many Americans are suffering.

That’s when President Trump did this:

Absolutely hilarious!
You have to love President Trump.
After the tour, President Trump called — again — for Powell to cut interest rates in another post on Truth Social:
It was a Great Honor to tour the Renovation (and some new Construction!) of the Federal Reserve Building with Chairman Jerome Powell, Senator Tim Scott, and others. It’s got a long way to go, would have been much better if it were never started, but it is what it is and, hopefully, it will be finished ASAP. The cost overruns are substantial but, on the positive side, our Country is doing very well and can afford just about anything — Even the cost of this building! I’ll be watching and, hopefully, adding some expertise. As everyone knows, I renovated the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue, and it was a roaring SUCCESS. The total Construction cost was a small fraction of the Fed Building’s cost, and it is many times the size. With all of that being said, let’s just get it finished and, even more importantly, LOWER INTEREST RATES!
