‘I brought a billboard’. I don’t think so. At most, you brought a sign identifying yourself as a bigoted ahole. This clown is the reason the American taxpayers gave 20 BILLION DOLLARS to Argentina to bail out his friend who didn’t have the foresight to recognize that Argentina might be a risky investment. Scott Bessent knows that he’s bullshitting us, he knows that we know that he’s bullshitting us, but he also knows that one third of America is too damn stupid to recognize the truth.
