Scott Bessent is being called out after he took a wild swing at defending President Trump’s opulent government shutdown party. The treasury secretary was asked about Trump’s Great Gatsby-themed bash by Jake Tapper on State of the Union Sunday, and quickly brushed away any suggestion that the president was living it large while many Americans went without food stamps or pay. Instead, Bessent turned to the tried-and-true method of name-dropping Barack Obama, oddly comparing Trump’s golfing stats with those of his predecessor as a defense for the exclusive Halloween party.
