Friday Film Day: Bessent Calms the Waters, Stephen Miller is All of Us, And We're Gonna Need More FBI Guys
It’s Friday Film Day here at the Campaign Update, and boy, do we have a show for you!
Bessent Calms the Waters: First up is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a man who has become the single most important spokesman for the Trump administration and its economic and tariffs policies. He’s become especially effective since somebody, probably President Trump, told Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and loose cannon advisor Peter Navarro to sit down and shut the hell up.
In the clip below, Bessent talks about why everyone needs to quit whining and let the tariff strategy play itself out, because this is not a strategy designed to deliver instant gratification, but one to set the country up for long-term recovery and prosperity.
