Welker: Goldman Sachs says 86% of the tariff revenue collected so far has been paid by American businesses and consumers. Do you acknowledge that these tariffs are a tax on American consumers? Bessent: No, I don't.

BREAKING: Trump’s Commerce Sec. Scott Bissent claims Biden’s 500K+ manufacturing jobs “went to illegal aliens.” That’s WRONG: Payroll data only counts on-the-books workers only. Oh, and Biden added 800K+ jobs, not just 500K. Is he evil or just f*cking stupid?

HOLY CRAP! NBC's Kristen Welker thought she knew more about the economy than Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent - he put her in her place. BESSENT: The new jobs are going to either native-born or legal Americans. Most of the jobs created under the Biden admin went to aliens!
