His first year on the job he was pretty quiet and really only talked about stuff relating directly to the treasury. Mostly he was the guy justifying the tariff policy which isn’t technically his portfolio but it’s not technically part of the executive at all so he’s at least the closest guy available. And his comments were all just in the vein of “Reasonably intelligent sounding person says vaguely intelligent sounding nonsense.”
His pivot to openly mudslinging, as best I can tell, happened after he started losing control of the bond markets (not that he ever had control of them, any more than the coast guard has control of the tide).
I think I’m mashing up memories of him claiming absolutely false things about the Biden economy while sitting there with gaslighting, shit-eating grin on his face like all the others.
At least the topic of the economy is relevant to his job function. But claiming Biden’s economy was “terrible” and that donnie and his accomplices were somehow afflicted with some kind of mess they inherited is such a gigantic fucking lie, and Bessent has 100% been doing that all along.
Oh, no, he definitely did that, it’s just that when I refer to mudslinging I’m referring to his making random attacks on other countries and so on. Saying “it was Biden’s fault” is just proof a republican is breathing.
