Off topic but I was amused that Scott Bessant found the question of 'who is paying the tariffs' to be a very complicated question to answer when cornered by a congressman. That he even said that to a congressman is a no brainer. As someone who is supposed to be a highly touted hedge fund manager, this is nothing more than a bald face liar trying to lie through his teeth, knowing he cannot tell the congressman that USA consumers are actually paying those tariffs, not manufacturers in China or elsewhere.
Now, when a buyer enters a shop to buy something, who pays for the things he bought when you asked him? How complicated is it to answer the question. Scott Bessant's facial expression when confronted with this question is always clownish and finding difficulty dealing with it. He smiled uncomfortably, stammers when unable to answer the question directly and truthfully and tried to wriggle his way out with nonsensical noises like an animal caught in a trap. How he lied his way through is fun to watch. One congressman even told him straight in the face that he is not just brought in sitting there to lie.
Scott Bessent is nearing the end of his tethers. The tariff con that exporters from other countries have to eat those tariffs have been put to rest with USA consumers now finding out the escalating prices at retail outlets. Not only that, but other sectors like agriculture are caught in the tailspin of those tariff war and farmers regretting throwing their support behind Trump to get him elected. But it is too late to regret for that.
Now we are seeing that retaliation is even affecting the chips sector, with China telling its industry players to avoid using USA made chips. Slowly, Trump is killing what he was supposed to protect and still thinking he has cards left to play. No Donnie, the game is over, and the cards are not in your hands to deal.
China is slowly seeking out all the weak spots in the USA armor to attack when the time is ripe and when it is in a position to launch those attacks. Time is on China's side. After all China goes for long term planning and is well known for that. After clearing the hurdles to overcome the chips alliance with its own self-made chips, China is ready for the next stage of its retaliation in the technology war.

This Scott Bessent can only rant Grandma's stories when even asked a simple question of WHO is paying the Tariffs a simple just "Who" and must kept rambling and rambling incoherent nonsense.
Stammering all.the while with eyes flicking ups and downs clear signs of spouting lies.
What's an imbecile!
Trump and his administration can lie and expect everyone to just believe the shit that comes out of their mouths.
Trump now says the Ukraine War's ending is up to Zelenskyy. Has he already forgotten his gloating that he would end the war within 24 hours of taking office? What happened? Now lying through his pussy gap (Virgo calls it CB mouth) and pushing his failure in Alaska to Zelenskyy, of all people, to end the war. Where has his big war ending mouth gone to?
Before opening his pussy mouth talking about ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, I believe Trump knows nothing much about the demands of Putin or Zelenskyy, just spouting hogwash to make himself look powerful.
Ending a war based on gloating is not possible, even given weeks of negotiation. Certainly not 24 hours. That is a sick joke, which is indeed what we have seen today.
