YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ripped California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his comments calling the Trump official “smug.” On Tuesday, Bessent spoke on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he said some parents may be buying “five, 10, 12 homes” for retirement. Newsom took to X to reshare a clip of the remarks, writing: “Could this smug man be more out of touch?”
