Nah, just kidding.
NYT: “As the war with Iran sends gas prices soaring, Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, maintained that Americans understand the reasons behind the short-term pain — even if he could not estimate how long it would last.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Bessent offered the hypothetical that “50 days of temporary, elevated prices” was a worthwhile tradeoff for “50 years of peace in the Middle East.”
Pressed on whether gas prices would indeed fall in 50 days, he continued: “I don’t know whether it’s going to be 30 days, I don’t know whether it’s going to be 50 days, I don’t know whether it’s going to be 100 days.”
If you don’t know, why say it? Because it’s a nice sounding slogan? This is war, man. Be serious!
This guy…

That has been the common theme, among regime water carriers: "shut up. Trump the God's interests are more important than whether you can make ends meet financially".
Reality is we are getting the boiling frog treatment. Trump the God declares victory about every other day, then escalates the war.

I am convinced that Trump chose and the Republican Senate approved a bunch of people in the Cabinet that are beholden to Trump to keep their secrets within the Epstein files or elsewhere. If they go 25th Amendment on him, documents will be released that will put them in prisons for long times.
Prove that I'm wrong.
