Before he joined the Trump Administration, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote that tariffs are inflationary. When he testified last month, I reminded him of his words. No matter how much he tries to deny it now, the president’s tariffs make life more expensive.

🇺🇸 TREASURY SEC. BESSENT: TARIFFS AREN’T INFLATIONARY—PRICES ARE DROPPING “For those saying tariffs are a tax and inflationary—so are taxes. I challenge my Democratic friends on that. Trump’s economic program is holistic. Since he took office, mortgage rates are lower, crude prices are down 15%, and inflation isn’t a concern.” Source: ECNY Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

Listen to Trump's former Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, on Fox News, as he stumbles through his explanations, offering a string of excuses for why beef prices are set to soar to $10 per pound. It's a masterclass in deflection. Each answer is more convoluted than the last, as he tries to justify the spike without putting any blame on Trump or his tariffs.

The Trump tariffs had no purpose, many said. But Treasury Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent & Chair of CEA Stephen Miran had made clear tariffs were to force a negotiation. And now, six days after Liberation Day, it's worked: the EU, UK, and Japan are among the 70 nations now negotiating.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he believes some warnings about the economic impacts of President Trump's planned tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada are "alarmist," arguing that tariffs in Trump's first term did not have a major effect on prices. "I'm expecting inflation to continue dropping over the year," he says.

The Trump Administration claims the Treasury has authority over Venezuelan assets. I asked Treasury Secretary Bessent directly what grants him this authority. He seemed to have no idea that he controlled these assets, let alone the authority behind them.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “So Donald Trump is ordering his subordinates to give him your money…Scott Bessent has two jobs. He is simultaneously serving as both Trump’s Treasury Secretary and as the Acting Commissioner of the IRS…That means that when Trump sued the IRS and the Treasury last week for $10 billion, Trump was effectively asking Scott Bessent, his direct subordinate, to just GIVE HIM that $10 billion.”😂🤦‍♀️ #3rdWorld

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg TV that Mexico has proposed matching Washington’s tariffs on China. He urged Canada to do the same, perhaps as a way to avoid tariffs on Canadian goods and create Fortress North America.

Remember when Trump said that his tariffs might mean fewer toys for American kids? Or when he freaked out after Amazon said they might show the added costs from his tariffs on their site? Yesterday, I reminded his top trade official of how these tariffs are a Trump Tax on everything we buy.
