Staff ReportsIn a recent confrontation on national television, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held nothing back as he delivered a dose of reality to CBS. The network is up to its usual tricks, trying to peddle fear about President Trump’s economic strategies. But this time, Bessent was there to set the record straight.
The scene unfolded when anchor Margaret Brennan thought she could trip up the Secretary with a “gotcha” question about rising prices. Her attempt to paint Trump’s tariffs as economic doom was swiftly dismantled. With facts in hand, Bessent reminded viewers that previous dire predictions about inflation under Trump have not come to pass. One can almost see the discomfort on the CBS anchor’s face as she was schooled live.
Even more conveniently overlooked by the mainstream narrative is the drop in inflation rates. Thanks to the strategic policies of the Trump administration, America is seeing the lowest year-over-year price increase in over four years. While broadcast networks scramble to predict catastrophe, the numbers tell a different story.
The cherry on top is how Chinese suppliers are bearing the brunt of these tariffs, easing the load on American consumers. Trump’s policies are calculated moves to secure America’s future by reducing dependence on foreign adversaries, especially in vital sectors.
It’s no surprise CBS and other liberal media are too busy with their anti-Trump rhetoric to acknowledge progress. They can’t handle the idea of America standing strong and independent. But the facts don’t lie. Trump’s administration delivers results, and Bessent’s unapologetic takedown is a reminder of the media’s continuous failure to acknowledge this journey toward American sovereignty. Patriots know the truth, and they don’t need a liberal narrative to tell them otherwise.
Isn’t it time the media stopped trying to fool the American people?
