Donald Trump celebrated the death of Robert Mueller and his Treasury Secretary somehow made it worse

Scott Bessent has all the credentials to be Donald Trump’s US Treasury Secretary.

1: he appears willing to say and do anything to make his boss look good.

2: that’s it.

And nowhere was this more apparent than when Bessent went on air to discuss Trump’s public celebration of the death of former FBI head Robert Mueller.

And Bessent will have to eat his words when all of us celebrate the passing of Trump, because he cannot understand what Trump has done to us and our families.

Once you come to understand that these people are the most despicable humans on earth, you will no longer anticipate anything different. They expect others to adhere to a particular moral standard, while simultaneously disregarding it when it comes to Trump.
