Who knew U.S. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent was so such a low-key, based cut-up? On Tuesday he gave the best and funniest response to an ignorant question posed by Kristen Welker of NBC News.
Check this out. (WATCH)
🚨🔥Bessent on being asked if he would “guarantee” there won’t be a recession:

"I can't guarantee anything — I can't guarantee that the journalist who asked me the question that her news program is gonna be on in a year."

😂😂😂 such a great response 🔥🔥🔥

A ‘journalist’ expecting Bessent to be able to foresee all possible outcomes and then guarantee which one will come to pass is ridiculous.
Commenters agree that Bessent is not omniscient and handled the question correctly.
Who would guarantee such a thing?

He isn’t a fortune teller.
Maybe they can just call the psychic hotline next time if they want to be frivolous
Anyone who makes guarantees about the state of the economy in the distant future isn’t the one to trust, and he handled her beautifully 😂😂

Welker and her stupid guarantee question! She uses it all the time and acts like she is so clever. What an idiotic question!

Welker’s looking to pocket a ‘gotcha’ for a future interview or piece. Bessent wisely denied what she was truly looking for.
We agree with commenters that President Donald Trump has assembled a team that knows how to properly deal with ‘journalists.’
The whole White House team is kicking some a**, when it comes to the narratives MSM wants to push. pic.twitter.com/AhUs5hKpQs

😂They are. Bessent has been the breakout star

I didn't know anything about him before this appointment but I have grown to admire him greatly. I love his responses to the media. They're so direct and without spin. It's pretty unique, considering.

We have ourselves a base administration and cabinet.🔥👏🏼

This administration is nothing like 2016 🔥🔥🔥
— Ryan Jacobsen (@Dndbreakfast) March 18, 2025
No, it’s not. This Cabinet was picked with care and not thrown together in haste like the 2016 one. Bessent is a surprise though, we had no idea just how funny and based he would be.
