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.

I was about to type the same thing.
"Mr. Bean on crack"--LOL
That is a fake meme.
Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan are skimmers from the NY Times that just got a book deal.
“I like Bessent more and more each day.”
Same here.
He knows how to stab and twist the knife while smiling at the enemy.
Do you think Putin was honestly elected?
He wouldn’t be in office now except for the fact that he has a loving relationship with the communists.
Oh, so you think Trump really wanted Hegspeth to resign and fed Naggie the dirt to use?
I guess Bessent was being insulting but accurate.
I’D LIKE TO SEE BESSENT RUN FOR PRES!!!
Some on this thread seem to be jealous of Zelensky…
Let me explain :
According to every poll in Ukraine Zelensky has between 57 and 63%. That’s an astounding support - despite the war. Can you imagine Trump or Biden getting these kind of numbers?
Zelensky is popular because he is very tough against Russia. Russia is in total panic mode in Crimea right now. Ukraine is starting to win on most fronts. He now successfully hits Moscow every single day with highly successful Ukrainian drone technology. He is the one protecting Christianity against Putin’s Neo-Soviet and pro Islamic actions.
This was just a few days ago:
The video of Christianity burning under NeoSoviet Russian bombs… “Russia bombards Kyiv, sets fire to famed cathedral”

Putin continues his fanatic quest against Christianity.
Not only is he in bed with Islamic Iran and helped it target US assets during the war with Iran, but since 4 years he has also proactively brought in armed Islamic Chechen troops onto European soil ordering them to attack Christian Ukraine.
He’s caput Africa Corps troops in Mali have lost all ground, conveniently letting the Islamic rebel group there take over nearly the whole place.
With Kremlin’s approval - Hundreds of thousands praying Islamists blocking the streets of Moscow.

So yes, Putin is the most pro-Islamic Russian leader in Russia’s entire history. He shows it in a very spectacular demonstrative undeniable way.
Being jealous about Zelensky is therefore futile.
Zelensky was a comedian. He was close with obama and biden.
He is a clown and can’t be trusted.
Presumably those pushing these sticks and stones stories think they will Bessent in hot water, and sow division among Trump supporters. Calling Zelenskii a clown, the Penile Liberace, etc. started before he was elected — he was a “professional” comedian. Being called Mr. Bean on Crack is a compliment.
STFU! Zelensky and Putin both suck.
Not a fan of Russia or Putin but hasn’t Russia had like 2 elections already since Zelensky came to power?
Bessent has dry wit.
Funny but probably accurate.
Every person I know doing insults have systematically turned out to be very weak and doing poorly in his job. Insults are cheap., lack of charisma.
That’s why you will never see Zelensky insult anyone. He has other more important vital things to do. He defends his country against a neo-soviet Russian invasion and their communist North Korean and Chechen Islamic friends.
We should be more concerned about the Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance (Iran-Russia-North Korea-China) than cheaply criticizing the very man (Zelensky) who is fighting alone against it.
We Republicans are supposed to be anti-communists. I hope it stays that way.
It snows in Ukraine?
“The video of Christianity burning under NeoSoviet Russian bombs… “Russia bombards Kyiv, sets fire to famed cathedral””
I noticed that Sundance over at the Conservative Treehouse explains that Zelensky had the Christian structures destroyed to ramp up his propaganda.
Also, if you believe the polls put out by the Ukrainian government or any media group, you are stupid. A goodly percentage of the Ukrainians have left the country to avoid that war. That is how much they appreciate Zelensky.
If you think that anyone on this site is jealous of the pint sized little worm Zelensky then you are daft. I have read some nonsense on this site before, but that takes the cake. And you felt moved to repeat the stupidity.
« Also, if you believe the polls put out by the Ukrainian government or any media group, you are stupid. »
>>>>>>>>>>>>
I see in your sentence that you are turning to personal insults. That’s a display of weakness which might prove my point that you are potentially jealous about Zelensky. There are no reasons for you to put yourself in such a futile overreacting defensive position.
Again, we should be more concerned about the Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance (Iran-Russia-North Korea-China) than cheaply criticizing the very man (Zelensky) who is fighting alone against it.
