Scott Bessent
This goes well beyond positive reinforcement.
We’re still shocked by the spin that Bessent and these other dorks have been issuing since the “pause” to claim that everything is going according to plan. What really happened here is that Trump, who thinks that tariffs are a direct tax that the U.S. puts on other countries, did something impossibly reckless, because he could, and then had to begin walking it back. But his deputies have been tasked with conveying these actions as if he had just played the world. “No one creates leverage for himself like POTUS,” Bessent posted. Commerce Secretary Howard “Good Times” Lutnick, sharing a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post announcing the pause, wrote about how he and Bessent sat beside Trump as he drafted “one of the most extraordinary Truth posts of his Presidency.” White House policy chief Stephen Miller wrote that “you have been watching the greatest economic master strategy from an American President in history.” The only thing more head-spinning than some of these lines is that there’s an audience that will believe it.
These blatant lies might not stick with many of the MAGA faithful without the constant parroting of them on RW media.
“you have been watching the greatest economic master strategy from an American President in history.” I don't have words to adequately describe such hyperbolic lying.
