  • ‘I’m Gonna Punch You in Your F--king Face’: Scott Bessent Threatens an Administration Rival

    From politico.com

    A private dinner attended by dozens of administration officials and close advisers to President Donald Trump was temporarily marred by a dramatic clash between two of Trump’s top economic officials, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at one point threatening to punch top housing finance official Bill Pulte “in the fucking face.” The Wednesday evening event was supposed to be one of celebration: It was both the much-anticipated inaugural dinner at Executive Branch, the ultra-exclusive Georgetown club created by and for Trump world’s uberrich, and a birthday party for MAGA-friendly podcaster Chamath ...

Bessent seems to have some pent up anger, second cabinet official he's threatened to fight in the past few months. Maybe he will participate in the UFC event happening at the white house next year

“ Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you,” Bessent told Pulte. “I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.” It’s either me or him,” Bessent said to Malik. “You tell me who’s getting the fuck out of here.” Or,” he added, “we could go outside.” “To do what?” asked Pulte. “To talk?” “No,” Bessent replied. “I’m going to fucking beat your ass.” Sounds like a foul mouthed individual. If that’s...
Yeah. On reflection, I don't get it. Suitably unbecoming.

I've witnessed people snapping on the trading desk, like when they've dropped a few million or whatever for no good reason and something breaks and words are spoken that are regretted, and so there are apologies if necessary.

But that seems just vicious.

If that’s standard behaviour then he’s a slime ball.

Nothing worse than a diva with an attitude

Is good. Is assertive. Is healthy to have it out with childish snivelling weasels who schemes behind your back.

In front of everyone so everyone knows that you know Pulte is a pathetic weakling spreading discontent about someone who is clearly on another level of intelligence and culture.

Of course these dudes are under stress. In the circumstances it doesn't take much for such disloyalty to break even the most composed of people.

Always watch the quiet ones. I think the pressure is starting to get to him. What's the phrase, going postal.
No, he just has the emotional intelligence of someone with self-confidence who decides that he isn't prepared to tolerate such a dolt in the team.

Remember, "several people" knew. Pulte must be exceptionally dumb about spreading whispers about someone who clearly outranks him.

Might want to ditch those preconceived notions. For swearing? Really? Okies, whatever helps you sleep at night.

All it shows is classic implosion. Typical human behavior when they are working only to save their own hides. Not for the people that put and will ultimately keep them there. They'll find that out the hard way, eventually. Worst case scenario is that the democrats fail to find a suitable replacement. People will stick with what they know, even if it horrendous. Uncertainty is the Killer my friends.

All human psych 101. Do yourself a favor, go buy a text book a learn if you expect to win over a very long period in this industry.

The scene was described to me by WHO eyewitness and four other WHOS familiar with what happened. One Trump insider plus four other Trump insiders told me someone might have overheard one of the other insiders saying something to the other WHO. All the WHOS involved were granted anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.
