So mouthful of Orange semen?

netanyahu missing?

He can mix cement with that shake in his voice.

As Bessent answered in the affirmative his head shakes in the negative. He didn't have enough time to convince himself of the lie he was telling when he said the war is going great and Trump is in great spirits.

His affect definitely changed when he returned. He was definitely far more subdued.

who even asked him to talk about teenagers going to war? appears someone put a gun to his head.

Bessant might not be quite so totally bonkers as Hegseth. Hegseth thinks he is winning. Killing Iranians is not winning. Blocking world oil supplies is winning. And that is Iran not Trump. Winning battles is military. Winning a war is political. They dont get it.

Trump probably had to coach the idiot on how to react in the interview.

I am trying to think why the Secretary of Treasury would need to be called to the Situation Room in an urgent manner like that. Sec of Treasury doesn't scream "Situation Room" to me. How can he assist in an "urgent" matter. Doesn't make sense to me, but someone can enlighten me.

Realized he’s a self hating gay guy who sold his soul to a homophobic administration

Is that guy ever not on TV?

He looked like Trump just ripped him a new one

For reference, here's the full Scott Bessent interview by Wilfred Frost on Master Investor podcast Wilfred Frost is a lead presenter on Sky News in the UK and, incidentally, the son of David Frost who did the Richard Nixon interviews

Was it his turn to try his new shoes on?

Scott Bessent would gladly send his children to war under Donald Trump after they finish their chores on his soybean farm.

He probably saw raw video of people, whether soldiers or not, getting blown to bits…at 4k…while OJ47 and Kegsbreath slap each other on the back. Just the Jenius’ way of showing off

Scott Bessent, like Trump, is proof that one does not need to be smart to become rich.

Bessent got the short straw and it was his turn to blow Trump and then clean him up and put on a fresh diaper and one cannot blow off that assignment, press be damned.

Personally I think our bases and assets in the area are getting hammered way worse than they’re letting on.

New orders delivered by Putin

maybe trump stroked out, odd to say he is in good spirits

I thought that news coincided with the ruling that charges against Powell were stopped? Bessent being shaken because of the shit fit he was going to have to endure from Donny Dicknuts

Treasury Secretary Bessent was summoned to the Situation Room. But Treasury has no operational role in a short war. So, why? Buyers of Treasury bonds are doubting the US's ability to pay them back. Defaults loom. This is pushing the US closer to insolvency. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

War Criminals in the WH

For a long time besant has been included in foreign policy in a way that a treasury secretary shouldn't be. I've been wondering what that's about. So this isn't the worst weird thing about him.

Why weren't we shown his demeanor prior to the interruption? This makes zero sense without that context...

Wonder if this is what’s up. www.bbc.com/news/article...

He looked shaken even for him

Good ole' buddy Scott Bessent. There is so much to extract from this weasel.

Really appreciate this conversation. And I'm sorry, I have a bug-a-boo: it drives me bonkers when they use trump's propaganda terminology "liberation day" for his tariff time horizon event. They should put quotes around it or some other caveat.

Hes blurting that out because thats exactly what he knows is not true and hes trying to make it sound convincing. No one asked him if the war was going well or if he would send his kids or if he thinks they know what theyre doing (slightly longer clip of his response elsewhere) told on himself

Don't think for one minute that Hangover Hegseth wouldn't intervene to get Bessent's kid a desk job MOS and make sure he never gets deployed to the Middle East (if he actually did join). The kids of billionaire Republicans aren't doorkickers.

I wish you had captured & played the part where Scott says that his son is thinking of joining the military and how he supports it b/c the administration is doing such a bang up job on the war.

He's such a weirdo. Totally stiff, condescending, corporate villain

Don't tell me they're talking about pulling a Hiroshima on Tehran.

Gotta wonder if Trump is asking Bessent if he thinks he can buy his way out of the mess they've created. Can we write them a check and call it good?

scott bessent remains one of the creepiest and most condescending people in the cabinet.

A jelly fish has more spine.
