There are no suitable and sober alternative ‘drivers’ in trump’s cabinet. Bessent and Lutnick are not economists and demonstrably have minimal understanding of macroeconomics; having previous experience as hedge fund managers does not equate to expertise in macroeconomics. Navarro is a…

…clown-economist who vomits an economic theory rejected by all serious economists and economic history.

tawni.bsky.social•87 days ago

I think it's unwarranted optimism to imagine the two aren't directly complicit.

mrquiver.bsky.social•87 days ago

I don’t think they believe in sobriety in this administration

bierquaffer.bsky.social•87 days ago

Hassett is a loon.

williamwillyloman.bsky.social•87 days ago

I’m willing to bet a MAGA poll would show a different opinion.

jisthor.bsky.social•87 days ago

Sorry, those 2 bootlickers had there chance. Now they get to go in front of the cameras and look like doofuses

defundthepolice.bsky.social•87 days ago

Has this guy not been hearing the shit coming out of Bessent’s mouth?

tiggersdad.bsky.social•87 days ago

Toonces would be better.

junk22m.bsky.social•87 days ago

How about Lutnick ? He seems like he is high on some very good quality supply 😂

cminga.bsky.social•87 days ago

Trump will win because every business in America will have to bribe him to get an exemption.

rodgilbert.bsky.social•87 days ago

I have heard Hassett speaking on Bloomberg recently. He is anything but sober. Ranting about Canada and fentanyl. And blaming Biden for every problem the world has ever experienced.
He has lost every ounce of credibility that he ever had

mrkd26.bsky.social•87 days ago

The guy who asked for countries not to retaliate .. that guy?

markn66.bsky.social•87 days ago

they are too craven to do so, even though they know better

norcalgardenofeden.bsky.social•87 days ago

Bessent and Hassett are not sober drivers. They are fucking bartenders.

leeleeuniteamerica.bsky.social•87 days ago

Notice the journo referred to both as sober. Qualified or intelligent never entered the chat

crexpat.bsky.social•87 days ago

Keven Hassett and Bessent? They may be sober but they’re blithering idiots.

dropdea.bsky.social•87 days ago

Hassett? Are they fucking kidding? He's a clown. Mr. Dow 36K.

emm7elle.bsky.social•87 days ago

I was “assured” by a “very knowledgeable and informed” Biden > Trump voter (also former investment banker) that Trump would be putting a brilliant economic team in place to insure long term economic security for the US. Ah, the things we tell ourselves to justify our irresponsible actions.

jonorcutt.bsky.social•87 days ago

There's nothing sober about someone who works for Trump. They're either a Nazi, a rank opportunist or a total fool

No Trump, like Hitler is a deeply disturbed man. The only cure is death or jail. The world cannot tolerate another holocaust. Same holds true for his sycophants.
No mercy for these assholes. Got it democrats?
Kindness is not a value that is shared by your enemies! Remember that!

scoobydoomi.bsky.social•87 days ago

💯

nailclipping.bsky.social•87 days ago

Totally disagree. The only way Americans will be done with all this fuckery is to suffer a lot for it. We have to take our lumps.

pearlomgwhatnow.bsky.social•87 days ago

They sold out. And Wall St is pissed.

theghostofmrhand.bsky.social•87 days ago

LOL are they talking about our Kevin Hassett and Scott Bessent??

leadbasedsaint.bsky.social•87 days ago

When your designated driver is Kevin Hassett.

mrquiver.bsky.social•87 days ago

O’Doyle rules!

zolascola.bsky.social•87 days ago

Hysterical that they think "someone sober" is in T's cabinet. They ALL signed on for the ride. And they all feel individually wealthy & protected enough to not give a shit whose lives get destroyed. I will HAPPILY take this back if it turns out to be wrong.

brianmcelroy.bsky.social•87 days ago

When you're begging for Hassenet to take over , you're firmly pretty desperate indeed

vajuko.bsky.social•87 days ago

Congress could of course take back their power over taxation at any time

bergerinferno.bsky.social•87 days ago

Why is nobody mentioning the GOP controlled congress, whom can take back the power to enact tariffs, from the president.

steve-bruins-77.bsky.social•87 days ago

Its a tRumpcession. We'll know for sure when companies start reporting 2nd quarter earnings (or some pre announce maybe)

bplumm01.bsky.social•87 days ago

lol, those 2 suck too

mikebrat.bsky.social•87 days ago

These guys said it would all be over April 2nd. Looks like that was just the start date for real crash.

steclack.bsky.social•87 days ago

He’s not a drunk driver he’s just an old angry man with too many people telling him he’s great, if he was one of his poorest supporters he’d be in a state run home at this point receiving very little care or attention and filling his nappy hourly.

vegasgello.bsky.social•87 days ago

See ya...

kfs78.bsky.social•87 days ago

Bessent and Haskett??
The same Bessent and Haskett who since yesterday are on all the networks defending this insanity and telling the people to chill out?
Yeah, no.
