Who knew U.S. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent was so such a low-key, based cut-up? On Tuesday he gave the best and funniest response to an ignorant question posed by Kristen Welker of <em>NBC News</em>.

A ‘journalist’ expecting Bessent to be able to foresee all possible outcomes and then guarantee which one will come to pass is ridiculous.&nbsp;

Commenters agree that Bessent is not omniscient and handled the question correctly.

Welker’s looking to pocket a ‘gotcha’ for a future interview or piece. Bessent wisely denied what she was truly looking for.

We agree with commenters that President Donald Trump has assembled a team that knows how to properly deal with ‘journalists.’

No, it’s not. This Cabinet was picked with care and not thrown together in haste like the 2016 one. Bessent is a surprise though, we had no idea just how funny and based he would&nbsp;be.
