Always A Class Act

I wish I could say that about people in the Trump Administration….but I just cannot without crossing my fingers behind my back.

The latest ‘class act’ comes from Donny’s Sec of Treasury…..

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may come off as a low-key guy in public, but he’s apparently got an ornery side in private. Earlier this year, he got into a heated clash with Elon Musk at the White House. Now, Politico reports on a new confrontation, this time with another top economic official: federal housing agency director Bill Pulte. At a swanky private dinner with other bigwigs and donors, Bessent confronted Pulte and accused him of bad-mouthing him to the president, writes Rachel Bade. (President Trump wasn’t at the dinner.)

“I’m gonna punch you in your f—ing face,” the story quotes Bessent as saying. When a third party intervened, Bessent suggested to Pulte that they go outside so Bessent could “f—ing beat your a–.” In the end, they didn’t go outside, and the evening proceeded without fisticuffs and the men at opposite ends of the room.

  • “Maybe switch to decaf?” snarks Washingtonian magazine.
  • “Scott Bessent Really Wants to Beat Up His Co-workers” is the headline on a piece in New York about the argument. For the record, the magazine thinks the 63-year-old Bessent would best the 37-year-old Pulte because he has “the advantage of a longer reach and the fire in his belly to wreck his co-workers.”
  • Pulte may be best known for leading the push to oust Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook.

Now that is a class act.

Here’s an idea…..let these macho pricks get in a ring and duke it out and make it pay-per-view…..would help solve a bit of our deficit problem.

Just a thought.

  1. Trump’s planning on hosting a cage match at the WH, maybe Bessent could be in one of the preliminary bouts? I could see him and Pirro bitch slapping each other for ten minutes or so. Followed by Hegseth and, oh, who would be a good match for him? Pirro probably. No, she’d probably bitch slap the little weasel into submission in the first round.

  2. Why is he hellbent on destroying our country? There’s no other way to see it: a dismantling of our place in the world, classless acts of gaudy preening, sending troops in to our cities as if they are war zones, and a tariff policy that is as outdated now as it was for Hoover…

    1. That is a good q1uestion and the only answer I can think of is that the destruction benefits him and that is all that matters. chuq
