I get a kick out of the idea of Scott Bessent going to farmers and saying "I'm just like you!"
Smith: How do you respond to Minnesota farmers who cannot afford the fertilizer they need?
Bessent: The definition of a farmer is someone who owns a farm and farmed the land so as a former farmer I will tell you…. There is no doubt farmers have been struggling but there was a record crop last year and what to record crops lead to? Lower prices.
Smith: I will take that back to my producers in Minnesota, that they have somebody in this department of treasury, a former farmer, who is feeling their pain.

Can you be more out of touch? This administration has literally made everything more expensive with tariffs and war. Yet they have the audacity to turn around and tell you everything is great.

Secretary Bessent won't admit that it's a conflict of interest for President Trump to trade stocks at the same time he makes decisions affecting those stocks.
He knows better.

WYDEN: "Todd Blanche let Trump off the hook for potentially $100 million in back taxes.
Then he let the ENTIRE Trump family...off the hook for any tax crimes.
As of right now, everybody in America is subject to audit, except the Trump family."

Trump promised to cut costs for Americans on day one.
INSTEAD, the inflation rate just hit 3.8%, the highest it’s been in THREE YEARS.
This is an economy made by and for the Epstein Class.
