Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent schooled CBS host Margaret Brennan in a fiery exchange about President Trump’s China trade policies. Brennan tried pushing liberal media talking points about tariffs causing economic disaster, but Bessent shot back with hard facts showing America’s strength under Trump’s leadership.
China is already breaking its latest trade deal by hoarding critical minerals, proving once again that communist regimes can’t be trusted. While the Biden administration let China walk all over us, Trump’s tough negotiations forced Beijing to the table. Bessent made clear that only continued pressure will stop their cheating.
The mainstream media’s fearmongering about price hikes from Trump’s tariffs has completely flopped. Inflation remains low, wages are up, and American manufacturing is booming. Brennan looked stunned when Bessent reminded her that every doomsday prediction about Trump’s America First policies has been wrong.
Brennan’s biased questioning exposed the media’s desperation to undermine Trump’s success. Instead of celebrating American workers’ gains, left-wing outlets obsess over fake “economic disasters” that never materialize. It’s clear they want Trump to fail—even if it means rooting against our country.
Trump’s tariffs are rebuilding industries gutted by decades of globalist sellouts. Steel mills and auto plants across the Midwest are reopening thanks to fair trade deals that put Americans first. The establishment hates this because it proves their China-centric policies were dead wrong.
While weak politicians cave to Beijing, Trump’s team isn’t backing down. Bessent vowed to unleash more targeted tariffs if China keeps breaking its promises. This administration actually enforces deals instead of handing out empty threats like past presidents.
The liberal media’s meltdown over Trump’s trade wins shows how out of touch they are with real Americans. Working families care about good jobs and national security—not the Wall Street billionaires who profit from shipping our factories overseas.
President Trump’s America First agenda is working despite every obstacle the left throws his way. Bessent’s takedown of Brennan’s gotcha questions proves that facts beat fake news every time. It’s time to stand with the leader who actually fights for this country.
