Mic Drop: Scott Bessent Demolishes Media To Their Faces Over Narrative About Trump's Health

Posted • December 3, 2025: President Donald Trump has some great picks in his Cabinet, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is certainly one of them. He can communicate the points that need to be made clearly, in a way that many cannot. And he's not afraid to take on the liberal media and cut them down to size, even to their faces, as he did at the New York Times DealBook Summit Wednesday.

Bessent scolded them. 🚨 In a mic drop moment, Sec. Scott Bessent just PUMMELED the NYT to their faces for a HUGE double standard on Donald Trump's health. "WHERE was the New York Times? We just had a 3 hour cabinet meeting yesterday!" - "For 10 MONTHS Biden did not have a cabinet meeting. How are you going to invoke the 25th Amendment if the cabinet secretaries never see the president?" - "You had what was one of the greatest scandals of all time that the coverage of the Biden administration, Joe Biden's diminished capacity and the cover up." - "I hear from people in the Treasury building that I see President Trump more in a day than my predecessor saw Joe Biden in half a year!" 🫳🎤 (…)
