12. Every time a read a quote from Scott Bessent I forget what the Treasury Secretary's job is.

It’s so odd that the media doesn’t key in on this administration’s habit of everybody covering for everybody else regardless of their official position. It’s like they are resigned to the fact that our entire government is the President’s, or at least Trump’s, play thing and not only is that okay, it’s also totally normal.
