    His statements here reveal something we probably knew: that he didn’t actually review the candidates and make the appointment decision himself. He just rubber stamped the recommendation he was given. So in his mind, it WAS something someone else did. Of course that’s ignoring his responsibility once he signs on. But that’s Trump for you. Take all credit, distribute all blame.

      He’s totally unqualified to evaluate candidates for this role, he doesn’t even know what the federal reserve does and why it’s important.
