Like Scott Jennings, you'd think by now, talking heads in the mainstream media would have figured out that Scott Bessent is not to be trifled with. Not even a little bit.
Especially if you try arguing with him and he's in his proverbial wheelhouse.
Luckily for all of us who need a good laugh, they have yet to figure this out.
Case in point: when MSNBC tried to challenge Bessent on the so-called 'Argentinian bailout'.
Watch:

“Why would you call it a bailout? In most bailouts, you don’t make money. The U.S. government MADE MONEY.”
“I would rather use peace through economic strength than have to be shooting at narco boats coming offshore if [Argentina] collapsed.” pic.twitter.com/5FDDyEmuTa
This is true. Bailing someone out implies giving away money, not making it.
This is more of an exchange or a swap, right?

MSNBC: How does a $20 billion bailout of Argentina help Americans?!
BESSENT: Do you know what a swap line is?
MSNBC: A currency…
Post continues:
MSNBC: A currency swap, yes.
BESSENT: But what IS that? Why would you call it a “bailout?” In most bailouts, you don't make money. The US government MADE MONEY!
Never go toe-to-toe with Scott on the economy!

True story. Just don't do it.
“Government made money” the five words that instantly ended that MSNBC talking point.
