Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatens housing regulator Bill Pulte in explosive Trump admin fight: ‘Punch you in your f—ing face’
New York Post ^ | 9/8/2025 | Steve Nelson

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, got into an explosive argument last week — with threats of physical violence involved, The Post has confirmed.

Two sources say that Bessent, 63, threatened to beat up Pulte, 37, for allegedly trash-talking him to President. At one point, the Treasury chief lashed out at Pulte, saying: “Why the f— are you talking to the president about me? F— you.”

“I’m gonna punch you in your f—ing face,” added Bessent.rump, two sources said.

The shouting match was first reported by Politico and broke out at the Executive Branch social club in DC’s Georgetown neighborhood.

The club was co-founded by banker Omeed Malik and first son Donald Trump Jr.

Again, we see the “self-control issues” of the homosexual community.
Doesn’t matter which ideology they profess, homosexuals are unstable and must be closely monitored

We had (unconfirmed) reports of a similar altercation with Elon - supposedly the cause of Musk’s black eye.

Either a pattern or a pattern or rumors.

Homosexual or not, Bessent has been great. And I like him standing up for himself.

(By the way, who do you propose to “monitor” homosexuals?)

“”Non AI video or it never happened. Smell like fake news.””

As Abraham Lincoln said...If it on the internets it must be true.

Unnatural lust produces rage....

Why do so many homosexuals act like faggots? Nobody wants a faggot on their team.

Not saying Bessent is doing that, but...

You really have to be careful these days what you believe. That’s why the 48 hour rule should always apply.

Is Bill Pulte any relation to the tract-home company?

In other Trump administration news.

SCOTUS released an Order this morning staying a lower court ruling which prevented Trump from firing members of the FTC.

Order here:

Article here from Bloomberg:

Trump will likely succeed on the merits.

Scott Bessent is great ... he’s the best choice to replace Powell if that ‘TDS’ steps down. Bessent’s smart, loyal and on our team.

Sure.
But by his own admission, he is mentally unstable.
He cannot be trusted over the long term
