They should definitely keep putting this highly relatable down-to-earth dude worth $600 million in front of cameras to keep explaining to all the dumb poors that the economy is good, actually. He's got the magic touch.
WELKER: Inflation has gone up. It's at 3% now up from 2% in April when the tariffs were imposed--
BESSENT: No, no no no. So, inflation hasn't gone up. The one thing we're not gonna do is do what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know how they feel
