Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, advised Donald Trump not to host Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, having called the Ukrainian president a “little f**ker”, a “special-needs child” and “Mr Bean on crack”, according to a new book.
The suggestion that a US cabinet official described a world leader in such terms is included in Regime Change, a blockbusting account of the second Trump administration by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, set to be published worldwide on Tuesday.
News of Bessent’s alleged remarks may embarrass the Trump administration, although the meeting that did take place on 28 February 2025 proved outright disastrous, as Trump and JD Vance blasted Zelenskyy for not being grateful for aid in his fight against Russian invaders, and for not wearing a suit.

He may have been referring to Hunter Biden.....or not
It’s good Bessent is in the administration.
NY Times and The Guardian. There’s some sterling sources of truth. Not.
I’m convinced that the source of information about the goings-on in the Trump administration reported by Maggie Haberman is Trump himself.

Who would rrad their drivel? THe TDS retarded whackos who still subscribe to the Slimes and take it seriously?
I like Scott Bessant.
I have no problem with Bessant’s language.
The left hate Bessant because he is a pillar of strength for PDJT, and very effective in his portfolio, a sanctions genius.
KUDOS to Scott Bessant ! He is almost there....achieving an established Bessant Derangement Syndrome !
BESSANT FOR PRESIDENT !
Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan lie about everything, they are hardcore antiTrumpers and the book deal is a payoff from somebody.
This is a sample of her other reporting, for anyone who falls for the latest leftist spin on Bessant :
Haberman: Trump ‘seems to be leaning into racist statements’

New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman said former President Trump “seems to be leaning into racist statements” after his most recent attack on Elaine Chao, his former transportation secretary.
Haberman told CNN’s Don Lemon on Wednesday that Trump has been leaning into racist comments more “aggressively” since he left office, and she expects more of it to continue.

“Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, “ lies oozing from their unauthorized traitors in the Aministartion. It’s time for another “suckers and losers” hoax I guess, be prepared.
Couldn't be.
Hunter is not smart enough to be funny.
Well, maybe when he was referring to Zelenskyy as a “special-needs child”.
Wow..Bessent was spot on!!
What Bessent may or may not have said about The liddle tin pot dictator in Ukraine is true!
Haberman is a HACK!! I wouldn’t believe a word she said or wrote!
Interesting and very observant.
But Zelensky is Winston Churchill. /s
Most embarrassing for Bessent, however, may be his reported view of Trump himself, whom he is said to have compared to perhaps the greatest progressive boogeyman in many Republican minds.
Bessent told associates “Trump reminded him … of his old boss, the legendary investor and major Democratic donor George Soros”, according to the book. “‘They are the same animal,’ Bessent said.”
Really? Bessent told associates “Trump reminded him … of his old boss, the legendary investor and major Democratic donor George Soros”, according to the book. “‘They are the same animal,’ Bessent said.”
LOL, you are for a gay president? Okay
Scott Bessent is openly gay and serves as the 79th United States Secretary of the Treasury. He is the first openly gay person to lead the U.S. Treasury and the first openly LGBTQ Senate-confirmed Cabinet member in a Republican administration
Marriage and Family: Bessent married his husband, former New York City prosecuting attorney John Freeman, in 2011. The couple shares two children, born via surrogacy, and resides in South Carolina.
Bessent may kick his ass. But lately I kind of like the President of Ukraine for his beautiful Mushrooms over Moscow exhibit. Very nice.
