Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”
The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.
According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.
While he denied threatening.

I am worried.
As a political consultant, there is always strategy on how, when and why to debate. The debates President Trump have agreed to seem like the world’s biggest set up. I have every confidence in Trump, but the deck seems stacked and it could not be more important to the future of our nation that he wins in November.

First, Biden has agreed to the June debate so he has plenty of time to recover from a flop. He has 5 months of being president to try to rectify any debate damage.
Second, Biden is debating now because his polling numbers are in the toilet. They cannot go lower so he has nothing to lose whereas President Trump does have a lot to lose. (RELATED: Dems Are Scared – Trump Is Beating Biden In 5 Of 6 Key States)
Third, of course, Biden is going to debate on CNN. It is the Clinton News Network. They are in the bag for the leftist agenda. The network will control the microphone. I don’t need a crystal ball to correctly predict that when Biden goes off script his microphone will magically shut off and when Trump is making a great point no one will hear him.

Most importantly, the expectations that Biden could win a back-and-forth between the two candidates are set so low that my mother’s cat could win the exchange. Therefore, as long as Biden doesn’t trip on stage and he knows his name, the media is going to declare him the winner.
I am worried for President Trump.
To help him, everyone should do their part in lowering expectations that Trump can win this set up.
