    just the facts,

    the Fed' balance sheet has risen significantly (from 4 to 9 ish) since Trump was fired by the American voters in 2020.
    after reaching the peak level (9 ish) in ~ mid-2022, it has declined to ~ 7 ish

    how intellectually dishonest was the false narrative that the Fed is wrecking its balance sheet?
    especially when being spinned by the parrots are also complaining about Government debts continuing to rise.



    People who follow/study economics understand that there is a direct correlation between Government debts and the size of the Fed's balance sheet.

    in view of the Fed's current mantra of "higher for longer", as Trump 2.0 is rapidly approaching, it is highly likely that the Fed's assets will be reduced furhter.

    so, dispense with the parroting of the false narrative that the Fed is wrecking its balance sheet
