Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent fumbled his words trying to claim President Donald Trump was joking when he threatened to “fire his a--.”
On Tuesday, appearing on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Bessent was asked by host Rebecca Quick about a remark Trump, 79, made in which he pointed at Bessent, 63, and said he would fire him if interest rates weren’t lowered.
“Well, Becky, if you were in the room, he was joking,” Bessent told Quick, stumbling over his words.
