President Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary likened Gavin Newsom to an “economically illiterate” serial killer after the California governor mocked his “smug” housing speech.
Bessent, 63, sparked widespread mockery on Tuesday by suggesting during a World Economic Forum event that it was completely normal for “mom and pop” to buy “5, 10, 12 homes” for their retirement, and that they must be protected.
After Newsom, 58, responded to the remark by joking that Bessent was a “smug man,” Bessent unloaded on the California governor, comparing Newsom to Patrick Bateman, the wealthy and materialistic yuppie who leads a secret life as a mass murderer in the book and movie American Psycho.
