Bessent is a lying sack and a snarky queen

Another words; “don’t bother me with small anything”.

Video does not play full length

He isn’t straight

Seriously. He's one of the worst. "Is the sun up?" "We need to check the extenuating conditions of the optimal solution."

Uhhh… yeah, so that’s, um… well, see, that depends kinda who’s asking, right? I mean, names are… you know, labels, and, uh… I’ve been called a lot of things. Some good, some, uh… less good. Uhhh uh uhhhh...

He just lies and lies

Cuz they kicked out the Mexicans harvesting lemons in Florida.

We have some great Mexican limes in our yard. If we have too many, we put them out for people to take. I think we’ll be seeing more of that.

Having the Treasury reimburse still means American taxpayers paying for it.

This is straight up contempt!

Sternly worded letter.

Remember that #scottkennethhomerbessent after spending 3 years renovating this property that was a B&B into his own personal residence recently sold (upon his appointment) it for $25million, his version of #semantics of our #littlepinkhouses #aintthatamerica

Trump is Evil Because : 77 million voters are Evil, Christian fundamentalists evangelicals are Evil. Old White Nationalists are Evil. Fox News Administration Appointees are Evil. 77 million Voters own Trump’s military insurrection Evil in LA & across the Nation. Trump is just the symptom.

So yes. It’s a sales tax or a VAT. Why are they splitting hairs. This is so dumb. Some businesses will not pass on their new costs. But the then means their cost of business increases which may mean less money for employees. If they pass any portion to consumers it is a sales tax under another name

I think I can speak for all Scotts when I say this guy should be subjected to a “code red”

again where are the tariffs going ?? how much is trump stealing ?

In the “aggregate”, Mr. Bessent, it’s quite clear you are a fool, a toady, and a very poor liar.

They know how tariffs work. It's economics 101. They are just lying to Congress under oath

Depraved indifference. MAGA, this administration believes you are not smart enough to know they are lying to you.

Amazon and home depo are just not saying they are. That’s not the same as taking on the cost themselves.

Snake answers

ah yes- luxury lemons

“in the aggregate” (?) So that basically means : NONE for ALL and ALL for NoNE ?

I’d pay the tariff on a jar of peanuts to watch Bessent and Elon go a couple of rounds.

I bought something from the UK. It came through customs. There was a tariff charge for the item. I paid it. King Charles III said it was my bill, not his.

Ok, let's look in the aggregate... that's no better!

Bessent is a chocolate teapot. A marzipan dildo. Beyond useless.

This guy is taking talking points from Stephan Moore idiot economist

Lemons are a luxury item?!?!?!

He lied when he said that, of course...

If they can continue to give farmers record subsidies they can afford to subsidize small businesses as well!

Making it up as they go and unconcerned about collateral damage

smug fucking bullshit artist in a gray suit

Or is the aggregate the sum of the shop owners loses and Trump's and Bessant's wins?

The aggregate... BS!

If you don't know, the word "aggregate" is a classic economist’s dodge to avoid uncomfortable specifics. Basically, Bessent is saying that they're obviously ignoring the harm to individuals so they can justify the policy.

The only thing these people are good at is bullshitting, double-speak, and lies. Hello 1984.

"Not a tax and not passed along to consumers". The quality of BS is amazing!

Absolutely

"Aggregate" is a strange way to say "I need to pull something out of my ass."

Small businesses don’t have an aggregate, you waspy buffoon

Look at this in the aggregate? Fucking word salad. What does that even mean in this context?

“I’m too busy being smarmy to tell the truth, even if I knew it, which I evidently do not. But here is a condescending smile.”

Yeah, that's it. From now on, to anyone bothering me with questions on any freaking subject, my response will be: "Well, I think we have to look in the aggregate". That will shut them up right there.

Senator Hassan shoots and scores

I think WE THE PEOPLE need to shut this country down and DEMAND THIS REGIME IN PRISON!

What an amazing NON answer!

Do all Ivy League schools have mandatory courses in dissembling?

We need a large rubber stamp with the words LYING ASSHOLE to stamp on his forehead.

Reminds me of the old joke “We lose money on each unit but make it up with the volume”

"a luxury product from Italy" The chode is speaking about fucking lemons.

Nice! And will US Treasury reimburse the cost increases people incurr when they consume.

I could write a 10,000 word essay, but instead, I'll keep it simple. F--- this guy with all of his lies and incompetency. We The People... are paying Trump's tariff tax.

gaslighting pure and simple these fucks get away with it daily

Sign us up for that reimbursement.

He’s such a fucking dweeb

I really need all the “stupid” to go away.

Voodoo economics on display.

In the aggregate, you fucking moron it’ll simply be a larger amount

BESSENT: lemons are a luxury product HASSAN: you need to own up to this being a sales tax

🤦🏻‍♀️

The aggregate of WHAT? YOU CLAIMED THE SELLER PAID THE TARRIF, NOT THE US IMPORTER!

Now that is a really bad answer

By ripping people off and cheating. It’s the only way they know.

I wonder how he finds his way to the toliet.

Isn't he supposed to be the "smart one"?

Why does she allow herself to be deflected. I HAVE THE RECEIPT RIGHT THERE. DID THIS BUSINESS PAY THE GOVERNMENT A TAX OR NOT? Blah blah blah. WHEN DO YOU INTEND TO STOP LYING ABOUT THIS TO CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? TARIFFS ARE A SALES TAX PAID BY AMERICANS.

MAGAts lie all of the time.

The nerve of this guy: "a luxury product from Italy" trying to paint this business as profligate and excessive? It's a distillery, trying to make a good product for their customers.

They lie through their teeth without any trace of embarrassment or shame, even when caught red-handed.

So lemons are a luxury item now? What next, avocados?

Bessent is probably the most knowledgeable secretary, which makes it all the more tragic how he struggles to deliver the lines. Every time he does that you can hear in his voice how he can't get the lies out smoothly. He knows. We know he knows. But loyalty to Trump is key to staying...
