Bessent is so smarmy and arrogant yet so inarticulate🤮
2 am calls are why people with dementia should not have phones at night.
There is nobody in the Trump 2 administration who can qualify as “the adult in the room” . Bessent is just another sycophant.
When Bessent starts lying the ahh's and the stuttering begins....its such a tell!
This stammering liar. Another bad joke within the worst administration in American history.
No one ask Scott where are the 100 deals on tariffs with other countries?? Nobody in the press has any balls! Ask questions about GOP liars!
if he doesn't read the NYTs, how does he know they report lies?
Forget Biden. We should start talking about Bessent's diminished capacities...
Look, I was a caregiver for both my husband and mother in law who both had dementia. Both of there sleep patterns where turned upside down. They slept in daytime and was up all night. They’re Drs informed us that’s part of the disease! Why does no media old or new mention this when talking about Trump sleeping on camera!
Any person who is calling people at 2 in the morning for anything other than a dire emergency is not NORMAL
