“Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?”

I see Scott Bessent interviewed on the news or at Davos and I hear the words coming out of his mouth. The are disconnected from reality. Trump is a deranged liar and an agent of chaos. Bessent was supposed to bring order and some level of credibility to the administration. At least on fiscal policy. He has either burned his credibility to the ground by showing he believes in the same stupidity as his boss or willing to say anything to keep his position. (Which should make us ask how handsomely he must be profiting from it). And no one is really calling him on his complete lack of credibility. Even Noem got to a point where she had to walk back a statement saying ICE and CBP weren’t using tear gas. Bessent just digs in and bumbles forward, expecting everyone else to be too polite to call him out. At some point someone is going to have to say something and not just nod with a concerned look on their face.
