This should be interesting. As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt remains on maternity leave, the Trump White House has done something remarkable and very unique. Cabinet members are taking turns delivering the White House press briefing.
Today, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent steps up to the podium and will be delivering the White House briefing at 2:00pm ET. Secretary Bessent has been one of the standout leaders throughout the first seventeen months. Livestream links below:

“Remarkable and unique.”
Those words describe the entirety of President Trump’s time in office perfectly!
Brilliant idea – kudos to whomever came up with this.
If this was 4 years ago mockingbird media: “a display of talent, range and elocution not seen in a Cabinet since Lincoln’s Team of Rivals”
This should be good. I had never heard of Bessent before President Trump selected him to be Treasury. He is very smart. I will watch the videos when I get home today.
I believe it sharpens skills and tongues , just what this administration absolutely has to do to be heard truefully .
Secretary Bessent will set the standard for next up Cabinet member excellence. Always articulate, with a keen intellect and off the cuff wit.
He doesn’t suffer fools gladly, but he has more patience with them than I would.
I received my quarterly tax vouchers from my accountant today. Never a great moment especially when now it’s evident that the checks will be cashed and the money immediately sent to Somalia.
C’mon Secretary Bessent. How about a national tax holiday until you and the rest of President Trump’s team get your arms around all of the fraud?
The Fraud czar is VP J.D. Vance.
All roads lead to Langley and all checks come from The Treasury.
And all money comes from the U.S. taxpayer.
And the Congress critters (House) own the checkbook.
What is extraordinary is the cohesive fluency that this cabinet consistently displays. They appear to function as a collegial team working in unison towards our POTUS’s vision. Karoline is the Alter-Marco. It takes a village to fill her heels! 🙂
You nailed it, MAGA Happy Boy. This administration works as one.
It takes a village to fill her heels!
Or as Margaret Thatcher said, “Don’t go wobbly on me now, George.”
Scott Bessent is absolutely my favorite cabinet member.
Doctor Bessent!
😁
Secretary Bessent [White House press conference]: As treasury secretary, I have two mandates for U.S. currency.
At present, no living person can be on U.S. currency, and the currency must say, ‘In God We Trust’.
So, right now, there is proposed legislation, in front of the House, in front of the Senate, to change the first requirement so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, could be on the two hundred and fifty dollar bill.
3 times, so far, about Iran : “President Trump is not going to make a bad deal for the American people.”
These people are insufferable and not smart.
I can’t count fast enough to keep up with how many times and ways they ask the same damn question. They are wasting Bessent’s time ( and mine!).
So many of them actually sound like children. Its not just their questions – its their voices. How’re they able to hold down their jobs???
am listening to Sec. Bessent’s answers and can only say – he’s very good at this give and take, love how he responded to the one reporter’s question about people diving into their savings and the Secretary began his response, to the effect, some could take the reporter’s doomer view or they could take the view people are seeing more in their 401K’s so are confident it’s safe to go into their savings.
That song ‘he’s a smooth operator’ comes to mind 🤣
How can you not like Secretary Bessent? He is the Jimmy Stewart of politics.
HOT NOW!

“THERE’S NO CURE FOR STUPID” – Scott Bessent
The end.
Watched and I have two conclusions:
The press lives in a completely hypothetical world, what if this, what if that, anything no matter how unrealistic or unlikely if the question itself can be weaponized to sound negative about President Trump.
Secondly, it’s beyond ludicrous that so many comparisons to the most unpresidential people possible are made in order to justify what President Trump decides to do, as if actions taken by the Divider-in-Chief or the Corpse-in-Stolen-Office are needed to legitimize the rational decisions of our patriotic president. Somehow something is okay with the vulture press because president Obama did it first?
