WELKER: Trump promised he was going to improve the economy on day one. What's your message to Americans who want to retire and have just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly?
BESSENT: Most Americans who have put away for years in savings accounts don't look at the day to day fluctuations

Those who have money in savings accounts, mattresses and buried in back yards may not look, but the rest of us who have assets in 401ks, etc are watching them evaporate BY THE HOUR while we're told "trust us - they'll come back by Q4".
Was that Welker’s following up?
Amazing how all that gain and more was completely wiped away in 10 weeks.
The older we get, the more often we look at it.
He should STFU.
These Trump Cabinet members indict themselves with every syllable they utter.
So we're ALL clear on who fucked us.

Hickenlooper - CO

Well, tbh, it’s a crowded field.
Stock market crashes can and do wipe people out permanently. Don’t let Wall St. tell you otherwise.
Savings accounts?
day and nightmare forced upon us

And that goes for Musk
America: The Trump White House concludes Americans are Thieves & Imbeciles!
“Oh, but ain't that America
For you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see, baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses
For you and me
Oooh, yeah
For you and me”
Problem solved.
Same as earlier this week when Trump was talking about “groceries” in one of his speeches. Wildly obvious he has never been inside a grocery store, and he certainly does not know anything at all about grocery store prices.
Not if you deliberately cause the sell-off, due to some lichen-like symbiosis of incompetence and gangsterism.
It does not magically transform into brilliance on TV!
Did nobody tell him his remarks would be recorded? He did not notice the cameras? He did not know where he was?
It is difficult to imagine a senior official of OUR government can say such STUPIDITY in public, but here it is!

See you at the polls.
Yet those are the out of touch policies offered in the last election.
He forgot to add that anyone who would call about a missed Social Security check would likely be a "fraudster."
These flaccid responses to Welker's robotic questioning are worse than nothing.
Tim Russert & Tom Brokaw were real journalists on MEET THE PRESS. We haven’t watched since Chuck Todd ☹️

We HAVE BEEN investing for the long term for YEARS and now it was wiped out in two days because of NOTHING.

They to just need to come out and say they have no problem with millions of American having to needlessly suffer through their retirement because Donnie is throwing a tariff tantrum.
It never crossed their minds.
‘Sucks to be you, huh.’
“Oh, they will manage.”
