They really are this stupid- Scott Bessent warns Carney to stop 'virtue signalling' amid looming trade talks

[Swede]

These guys just don't get it. Bullying Canada is a losers game.

"In my investment career, I've seen what happens when a technocrat tries to pivot and become a politician. It never really works out well," he said.
Bessent's latest comments come on the heels of claiming that Carney walked back what he said in Davos during a phone call on Monday with Trump.

1. How did Bessent and Nutlick become billionaires? They seem to be the dumbest fucks in this administration.

3. Bessent Was Hedge Fund

But, that was after he worked for.....wait for it..........

George Soros!
Go figure.

5. Every time one of them opens his mouth, I almost have an aneurysm.

It amazes me someone trusted either of them enough to do any job at all.

The Soros bit is just icing on the cake.

4. Bessent is worth about $500 million, and he only sounds dumb because he's absolutely lousy at lying.

Everything he says is totally cringe worthy; the dude is way over his skis

[Wiz Imp]

8. Strongly disagree

Bessent doesn't just sound dumb, he really is a total idiot.

6. Seriously??!

[Probatim]

13. Yes, unfortunately.

When Nutlick commented that a 4.3% increase in GDP meant a 4.3% increase in all Americans' earnings, I woke up on the floor in a puddle of my own bodily fluids. My brain could not process the nuclear grade stupidity in that one sentence.

2. Virtue Signaling being "someone who's obviously a better person than me, so STOP making me look bad!!"

If I ever see it used (sincerely) in another context, I'll reevaluate.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Exactly. STOP BEING A GOOD SMART PERSON AND MAKING ME LOOK BAD.

[Prairie Gates]

9. Anyone who uses the term "virtue signalling" is an asshole

In my experience...

[pwb]

10. Is he looking at himself in the mirror?

Bessent is another nanny raised puke freak. No conscience and no Soul.

[Qutzupalotl]

11. This administration needs to stop vice signaling.

[Emrys]

12. "I've seen what happens when a technocrat tries to pivot and become a politician. It never really works out well"

True.

We're all seeing it every time you open your smarmy trap and let the patronizing stupid gush out.
