WASHINGTON, DC: A blockbuster upcoming account of the second Trump administration has exposed deep, profane fractures within American foreign policy, revealing that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent privately launched an aggressive campaign to block Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from entering the White House.
The explosive details surface in 'Regime Change', a forthcoming book by The New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which alleges that Bessent repeatedly used highly derogatory nicknames to describe the wartime leader to close associates before a disastrous Oval Office summit.

The Treasury chief reportedly harbored deep frustrations over a stalled, high-stakes critical minerals agreement, explicitly warning that Zelenskyy was a highly unpredictable actor who should not be granted an audience with the executive branch until he signed the economic pact.
"I've dealt with this little f****r... He’s tricky. He’s like the special-needs child for the Europeans. And he’s acting like Mr Bean on crack," Bessent told associates, according to the leaked text.

Trump calls for ‘ceasefire now’ between Russia and Ukraine
The statement comes after Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Zelenskyy for being “disrespectful” in an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, then abruptly called off the signing of a minerals deal with the U.S.
I saw that conference broadcast. That hobgoblin torpedoed Trump in front of the press, most likely on purpose, probably coached by Uniparty types in the US.
I like Bessent more and more each day.
An apt description.
I agree with Bessett on this.
Ok…I like this dude now. (No homo)
I’d love to see a Rubio/Bessent ticket for’28!
I was gonna say the same thing.
I like how Bessant does not put up with the BS.
Bessent is truly great, he’s got a gem of a sense of humor.
Bessent likes humour apparently, except when people make gay-jokes about him.
Bessent is one of Trump’s better picks.
Yes, and this is their wartime leader the nation has entrusted its life to.
Qualifications anyone???
Bessent, Rubio and Hegseth. Tulsi was a good one too, I had high hopes for her. I await her future after her husband recovers. Kennedy is also quite a good pick.
I wonder if the Ukrainian people have actually put trust in Zelensky. They haven’t had an election in quite a while.
When do we get our “investment” back?
Anything Maggie Haberman is involved with is highly suspect in both fact and story
Donald Trump has had Maggie Haberman on speed dial for his entire political career. Unless it’s proven otherwise, I’d assume HE is the source for all of her stories about his administration.
Was this article meant to get us worried?
Bessent is saying what many of us think. We have no use for Zelensky.
