Idiot!

I know DC is full of overrated men, but the fact that somebody this dumb got to be treasury secretary says nothing good about our system.

do they honestly believe their own bullshit??

Hey, that's Kevin Hassett's line! He'll be outraged.

Yep, just like when the war (which also isn’t a war) started 7 months ago, it was going to be over in 2 weeks The Strait is open, obviously. Hasn’t everyone seen how cheap diesel has been?

Bessent went the wrong way!

Didn’t he say this two weeks ago?

Tragically, it’s more likely true of us. The Great Trump Recession ™️

Two weeks? Huh, where have I heard that phrase before? 🤔

Sure, like he's promised a million other things that never happened

🤦🏻‍♀️

They lie with such ease.

How many times have we heard this?

Bessent says a lot of lies.

Another "two weeks" story... Just like that *healthcare plan* that's been in the works for years and years

The open Strait

Iran moves 5 to 6 million liters of fuel (gasoline and diesel) across the border every day into Pakistan. they are also sending it via truck through Iraq. Iran has borders with many countries including Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, Afghanistan (and via Caspian sea Russia)

These statistical lies smell like they've been freshly pulled out of Trump's ass. And the 2 week time frame. How many times have we heard that before? "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day....."

I like this reference.

Lol

LOL, that is great! Say, kids, what time is it? Kids: It's Howdy Doody Time!

"two weeks"...man, it's too early for this drinking game.

It's Sunday, right?

Except not one barrel is U.S. oil. When he says America 1 billion barrels, that’s a lie. Not Americas oil. Besides, Trump started bombing 210 days when an avg of 20 million barrels a day were exported. So if Trump hadn’t started the war, Approx 4.2 billion would have passed through the Strait.

Probably you know possibly you know maybe Or it might not

2 weeks Biden Begging for a deal Rinse, repeat

No matter what the issue is the answer is always 2 weeks

Is he an expert on straits?

atrocity crimes mainly directed at women, killing over 50,000 people in a matter of days.

painful !!

It's always "two weeks" with these people.

Stick with me here. If, it turns out, he's wrong about the two weeks, it'll be the first time he's been wrong about anything since joining this admin. So I'm on pins and needles.

They love that #2. But 2 never comes. 🤣

Open? Single digits are getting through! The average price of home heating oil in New England is currently hovering between $5.60 and $6.15 per gallon & could potentially peak between $6.50 and $8.00 per gal if global supply constraints persist. It was about $3.31/gal when Joe Biden left office.

So now we are back to the "two weeks" trope? Will it also be infrastructure week?

LIAR! Their economy is not going to collapse and the Straits are not open.

Funniest thing i read all day

Here we go AGAIN 2 weeks🖕Bessant!

Interesting to say that on February 28th when Israel and US attacked they said it was going to be 2 weeks. Look where we are now shut the fuck up Bessent🙄🤬

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest "no it won't" and "no they aren't"

A montage of Trump and him giving deadlines about when Iran will collapse and the Straits will be open would be … long.

The standard Frump admin time frame. Diesel will be back to 3.50 gallon in 2 weeks Frumps national healthcare plan will be presented in 2 weeks Etc

Different reality

Even for the sycophants at Fox, a simple and logical follow-up questions……can you define “open”? Based on your definition of open….why are the number of ships passing thru the Straits so minimal…..?

“ 2 weeks….” Everyone drink!!!

And yet they just turned down a deal to open the Strait - they really believe their supporters have no alternative sources of information (and they’ve been right so far…)

Gas prices this morning are higher than they were last night.

He is never going to go any of those things. This was satire right???

two weeks? just in time for Infrastructure Week! 😃👍🏻

Ah yes, we're back to the old 2 weeks schtick

Did he offer any evidence?

They do not care how many peons die. I believe one of their goals per project 2025 is to reduce the population.

It’s always “two weeks” in Trump world.

Same shit they were saying 6 months ago & will be saying 6 months from now.

"two weeks" "straits" bsky.app/profile/atru...

LOL, what complete BS. Bessent is working hard to humiliate himself at this intensity.

Iran says it won't open the strait until both tRump and Netanyahoo are removed from power !

Two weeks. Oh, that old chestnut.

Looks like the Russian "special military operation" is bogged down in Iran.

Bookmark it

Okay Boomer.

Prove it

🤡

They’re open?? 🤣🤣🤣

What a rube

Narrator: “Doubtful… Very.”

Gibraltor, Magellen, Singapore, Bering. All the important straits are open

Two weeks

The straits are open. We're just choosing to choke the globe of oil and make companies so much $$$$.

“2-3 weeks”.

It’s always 2 weeks with these bozos

Who issued this thang?

I'm skeptical. I think two weeks until the next two weeks promise.

Not open to everybody.

Yes and Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the leprechauns with the pots of gold are going to show up at the door of Congress to save the country.

OTOH, it may be our economy collapsing in the next 2 weeks, not Iran’s.

Oh, man. Believe your eyes, not their lies.

This gay fascist cannot believe in all BS he spews in TV

Yeah okay

What a coincidence, two weeks ago it was also going to collapse in two weeks, and two weeks before that it was going to happen in two weeks, and then two weeks before that we would have victory in two weeks, and two weeks before that...

I think he said that 2 weeks ago.

He said "the straits" maybe he is talking about the strait of Magellan in Chile or the strait of Malacca in Indonesia 😋

lol, 2 weeks

completely FOS

Bessent and his fairy tales.

😂

Completely False

I thought their oil pipes were supposed to back up explode months ago, Scotty. Just like in a Wiley Coyote cartoon. Your orange master said it. Wha happen?

Rule of thumb: when predicting disasters, set your prediction far enough into the future so that when the disaster doesn't materialize, everybody will have forgotten that you made the prediction. Six months, maybe, but two weeks, nuh uh.

Does Iran know this? Bc the last thing I saw is they are getting ready to retaliate.

👏👏👏👏👏 There they are again: "Within 2 weeks" 🤦

Think I’ve heard that before. Like once a week for the past six months

Oh goody, in just two weeks? So at the same time the greatest affordable definitely better than Obamacare healthcare plan? I can’t wait! 😜

Besent destroys the bond market and lies about the Straight. You do know he was a failed hedge fund manager? Why is he allowed to make the these decisions?

two weeks....drink!

2 weeks - drink! Straight is open - drink!

All they have are lies and blaming Joe Biden. That's it. That's the whole R platform.

Two weeks, you say?

The same memes from the same ct

He can say shit like this because we're not there to see it with our own eyes. Also, haven't they been predicting Iran's economic collapse for months now?

This Dr Seuss character…..

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥♾️

Spewing lies is their motto! #VoteBlue

Another fantasy, no, two fantasies

Always the same two magical weeks, where you just have to promise two more weeks for ever and nothing you say has to happen, since it's in "2 weeks" from now.

When I was a kid and I asked my dad for something, he would always say "sure, when you're 62!" I took that literally, and am expecting a Barbie Hot Wheels car in 17 years.

I think Scottie needs to think about using his Argentina Fascism Escape ticket.

Ahhh Straight open Collapse 2 weeks Bessent open and honest I am on Mars now 🦹🏻

This motherfucker idiot grindr bessent is more stupid than I thought!

when there's no consequence or pushback for being wrong... and his nonstop stuttering indicates that he's making it up as he goes along.

Yes. And gas prices are plummeting, the economy is booming, and affordability, COVID, the danger posed by AI, and global warming are a hoax.

2 weeks? Like they were two weeks from having a nuclear bomb?

Finally, something will happen in two weeks! Unlike other times, I feel positive about this timeline
