  • Treasury Secretary Bessent Touts Economic Optimism, Unleashes Scathing Attack on California Governor Newsom

    Treasury Secretary Bessent Touts Economic Optimism, Unleashes Scathing Attack on California Governor Newsom
    Jan 22 2026
    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made headlines this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. On January 21, he spoke with CNBC host Joe Kernen about key issues, including President Donald Trumps interest in acquiring Greenland. Bessent described the idea as strategic, noting its potential for national security and resources. He also assessed the United States economy as strong, with solid growth prospects ahead. During the interview on the Squawk Pod podcast from iHeart, Bessent discussed the search for the next Federal Reserve chair and the administrations plan to cap credit card interest rates at around 10 percent to ease consumer burdens.

    Bessent did not hold back on domestic critics. Fox News reports that on January 20, he sharply mocked California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling him economically illiterate and self-absorbed. Bessent highlighted Californias outward migration, massive budget deficit, largest homeless population in the nation, and recent wildfires in the Palisades that destroyed homes. He accused Newsom of skipping a policy speech to hobnob with global elites while his states residents suffer. In a pointed jab, Bessent compared Newsom to Patrick Bateman from American Psycho mixed with Sparkle Beach Ken from Barbie, adding that Newsom knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He referenced Newsoms French Laundry dinners during lockdowns as hypocritical.

    Newsom fired back on social media, urging allies to grow a spine against Trump and calling him a T rex that devours the weak. Bessent promised the administration would tackle waste, fraud, and abuse in California.

    These exchanges underscore Bessents aggressive style as Treasury Secretary, blending economic optimism with partisan critiques.

  • US Treasury Secretary Touts Strong Economic Growth, Tax Cuts, and Deregulation Under Trump

    US Treasury Secretary Touts Strong Economic Growth, Tax Cuts, and Deregulation Under Trump
    Jan 20 2026
    US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke today at a press briefing on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Reuters reports he highlighted President Trumps economic policies driving strong growth, with real growth potentially reaching four to five percent this year, translating to seven or eight percent nominal growth. He noted capital markets are unmatched in depth and breadth, making the United States the top place for capital worldwide.

    Bessent emphasized tax certainty from the big beautiful bill passed on July fourth, including no taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security, plus deductibility for auto loans on American cars. Associated Press coverage details how the Internal Revenue Service delayed withholding guidance, leading to substantial tax refunds of up to one thousand dollars per worker in the first quarter. Workers will then see automatic increases in weekly or monthly paychecks, boosting household finances.

    On trade, he dismissed panic over tariffs, saying relations with China are stabilized through President Trumps good ties with party chair Xi. He addressed rumors of European Union and United Kingdom plans to dump US treasuries over Greenland, calling it a false narrative with no real talk among European governments. Fox Business reports Bessent stressed President Trump views Greenland as essential to Western Hemisphere security.

    In digital assets, Bessent pointed to the Genius Act for stable coins, passed with bipartisan support, and ongoing clarity legislation. He confirmed the policy to add seized bitcoin, such as from Tornado Cash developers by the Southern District of New York, to a digital asset reserve after damages are addressed. Deregulation efforts have added two point five trillion dollars in lending capacity per Oliver Wyman, fueling an AI and energy boom with capex up dramatically.

    Bessent criticized the prior Biden administration for creating an affordability crisis with the biggest inflation in forty nine years, from which Americans still suffer post traumatic stress. He projected policies will accelerate prosperity, with bottom households seeing net worth gains faster than the top ten percent.

  • Headline: Treasury Secretary Reveals Trump's Frustrations with Federal Reserve Chair, Teases Imminent Fed Chair Announcement

    Headline: Treasury Secretary Reveals Trump's Frustrations with Federal Reserve Chair, Teases Imminent Fed Chair Announcement
    Jan 18 2026
    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that President Donald Trump discusses the Federal Reserve with him every day, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Chair Jerome Powell. According to Cryptopolitan, Bessent shared this during an appearance on Kudlow, noting Trumps frustration both personally and with Powells leadership at the central bank. Powell faces a Department of Justice criminal investigation for allegedly misleading Congress about a major renovation at the Feds Washington headquarters. Bessent declined to defend Powell, saying he lacks expertise in construction and criticizing the Feds operations as needing substantial improvements and a thorough internal overhaul. He hopes the scandal will spur the long-called-for review, emphasizing the Feds impact on every American yet lack of accountability.

    Bessent confirmed final interviews for a new Fed chair are complete, with Trump ruling out Kevin Hassett and planning an announcement in January, possibly around Davos. Cryptopolitan reports Trump has been methodical in his choices.

    On Iran, HonestReporting states Bessent confirmed the United States is tracking tens of millions of dollars linked to Irans leadership moving out of the country into foreign banks. This follows sanctions-evasion via crypto networks tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and offshore accounts, signaling regime insiders concerns amid rising regional tensions, including United States Navy increases in the Persian Gulf.

    MarketWatch reports Trump announced 10 percent tariffs on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland starting February 1, escalating to 25 percent on June 1 unless Denmark sells Greenland to the United States. Bessent indicated the administration could use other authorities for tariff revenue if the Supreme Court rules against Trumps use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with a decision possibly imminent. Markets showed anxiety, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to 4.23 percent.

    Bessent appeared on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker this Sunday, as announced by NBC News.
