Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday said people need to give President Trump more empathy after Trump posted that he was “glad” former FBI Director Robert Mueller was dead.
“I think that given what has been done to President Trump and his family it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through,” Bessent said during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I think that given what has been done to President Trump and his family it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through,” Bessent said during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I was with the president in the green room at Davos and there was a video playing of what may have been an illegal raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago. They are going through his wife’s wardrobe,” Bessent told moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday.
“And I watched the look in his eye, and I think that neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and to his family,” the Treasury secretary added.

with all the media/Pr trained responses that constitute 99.9% of all public statements, I guess you could say Trump’s comments stand out for their honesty and directness
Good. Shove it back in there inhuman faces.
Do NOT apologize in any way.
I love that Trump shows no sympathy and does not play by the BS rules when dealing with these deep-state ghouls.
Mueller was the vegetable head of a lawfare COUP against Trump and the Constitution. He knew everything about Russia-gate was false, but carried on his charade for 2 years.
I won’t even get into his behavior when he was rising to head of the FBI
The man should rot in hell.
Given the celebrations and despicable vitriol spewed by the left after Rush died, Charlie Kirk was assassinated and the two attempts on President Trump’s life, “I’m glad he’s dead” doesn’t cut much ice with me.
👏👏 Bravo! He’s right. Love this man!
Wouldn’t take the bait. I like him. Confident. He make a good POTUS.
The same ones who think Pres Trump is such a horrible person are still in ecstasy over Charlie Kirk’s assassination. -BLEEP- their feeeewings
Is the country ready for a homosexual president?
Not judging.....just posing the question.
Weekly had one. His name was James Buchanan.
We
OK, allow me to rephrase...
Is the country ready for an OPENLY GAY President?
Ha
I took that into account.
I agree with Bessent.
Is the country ready for a homosexual president?
If they are, they better also be ready for as much or more emotional vitriol . . .
Yes, Bessent is a good spokesman and great Tres Sec - he speaks calmly, doesn’t get belligerent - but puts talk show hosts in their place.
He's absolutely correct in stating this. That whole cabal, including the Clintons, Obama, Susan Rice, Peppermint Patty, Mueller, Strzok, Comey, and a cast of many other unethical hateful self-entitled enemies of traditional America didn't care what they did to him or his family. They just wanted to hurt him and regain power. No different than if they just shot him - but then somebody eventually tried that.
“puts talk show hosts in their place”
When he was testifying on Capitol Hill recently he made the democrats look like the ass clowns they really are.
