He knows he’s lying, he just doesn’t give 1 tiny but about the rest of you
What's the point of these committee hearings if they can openly lie without consequences?
Suppose at least their answers are on record.
"It's an emergency" is always an excuse politicians make. Getting pretty tired of it.
Trump’s Trade Deficit Legacy: Three Largest In History In Four Years - Jan 14, 2021
Trump made taming them a key part of his campaign.
On that score, he will have failed
complaints about trade deficits are largely due to a misunderstanding of how international trade works
That MAGA have been fooled about the basic concepts of tariffs & trade deficits is really kinda sad. All those hours watching Fox, etc. & they've learned nothing of value.
& then anything that's not a direct equal barter is a trade deficit.🤪what?
Obama would have been lynched for that.
There is something really off with this dude/thing.
Bessent is the worst of the worst puppets and will be a patsy for Trumpf.
Oh boy.
Just like their Dear Leader, old Donnie DarkOrange.
Reagan did irreparable damage by gutting mental health and ethical journalism. His deal with Christians has ruined us.

Let them tell you why it’s an emergency.
Have them make a plan.
Let them tell you how they will realise their goals, what measures they will take by when.
What they are asking for now is permission to shoot without a plan.
What about 258 million Americans on the verge of drug death? What about... wait, I have an entire list.. let's see... Nope. Ability to afford an entire box of pencils on it.

He only understands the economies or CORPORATIONS.
Bessent is WAYYYY over his head, and he's destroying his country.
We are so fucked with this group
Oh right, the buffoon is “governing”
BESSENT: it absolutely does NOT taste like old person shit. Nope. No sir - not at all. Like I assured the president, it tastes of- wait... Can I think about this one a minute
this is pathetic
I mean, honestly, these guys are in charge of America, and all I want to do is confiscate their devices and put them on a naughty step.

We are at war with Venezuela.
Trade deficits are an emergency.
Dems have the facts.
Dems bring the facts.
Republicans have no answers.

BESSENT: Yes. Persistent and prolonged.

This is how Idiocracy *really* should have started - with people increasingly refusing to use their brains - instead of the eugenics-lite thing that didn't age well.

Surely Democrats will find the gumption to stop that.
It makes me wonder how much his reward is!
