Here’s a list of Scott Bessent’s wrong predictions and/or promises that didn’t happen:
February 5, 2025: Long-term interest rates would come down as Trump’s economic policies took effect.
Spring 2025: The federal deficit would move toward 3% of GDP.
Spring 2025: Trump’s policies would produce roughly 3% sustained real GDP growth.
July 8, 2025: The U.S. would collect well over $300 billion in tariff revenue in 2025.
September 1, 2025: The Supreme Court would uphold Trump’s emergency tariffs.
September 7, 2025: The economy would see a “substantial acceleration” in Q4 2025.
December 7–16, 2025: 2025 would finish with 3% to 3.5% real GDP growth.
December 16, 2025: Inflation would see a substantial drop in the first six months of 2026.
February 20, 2026: The economy could grow at least 3.5% in 2026.
April 14, 2026: 2026 GDP growth could easily exceed 3% or 3.5%.
April 14, 2026: Core inflation was falling and the Federal Reserve would need to cut interest rates.
April 14, 2026: Trump’s tariffs could be restored to their previous levels by the beginning of July.
June 2026: Again maintained that 2026 growth could reach roughly 3% to 3.5%.
2025–26: Lower energy prices, fiscal restraint and Trump’s policies would bring down long-term Treasury yields.
2025–26: Faster growth and tariff revenue would materially improve the federal deficit.
And now we get to track this one:
September 5, 2026: Oil could eventually fall to $40–$50 per barrel after the Iran war ends. The economy is now “in the liftoff phase.”
🚨 WOW! Nick Shirley says it PERFECTLY on Elon Musk
"I don't think too many people actually say THANK YOU to Elon Musk. Do people realize what he's actually done for society?"
"I'm looking at him just eye to eye. I'm like, 'wow, this man has done a lot for society and he's taking his time to just talk with ME.'"
"I think we both just wanted to meet each other and to have a conversation."
"And everyone just wants to DEMONIZE Elon Musk."
"Between Starlink, between Tesla, between the uh between X, between the tunnels, like do people realize how much this man has done? PayPal too. Do people actually realize how much impact this man has had on society?"
"He's not money driven. And everyone wants to get mad at him for having money? That's just what happens when you provide such value to the world."
Thank you @ElonMusk! Team America, team civilization 🇺🇸

Federal Reserve officials admitted that they SECRETLY FUNNELED half a TRILLION dollars and it disappeared to Europe, unable to be accounted for.
Central Bankers that live in England and make up our Federal Reserve are robbing the world of absolutely EVERYTHING!
But they've been doing this to us every year since 1913. President Trump warned us many times.
And of course these crooks know where the money went. They're lying under oath because they have no choice but to do so.
How much of our tax dollars do you think Central Bankers stolen from us for the past few decades and what should their punishment be for doing this to us over and over again?
For anyone still confused at how Nike got here:
They paid a biological male to do an ad for female sportswear.
A total mockery and betrayal of their customers because of a blind allegiance to woke ideology.
There is no market for this and they’re finding that out the hard way.
The Obama administration, through OBAMACARE, was illegally diverting BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to insurance companies, essentially receiving massive kickbacks into their own pockets.
It was paying tens of billions of dollars in illegal "cost-sharing" payments that a federal judge ruled "violate the Constitution."
It attempted to skirt a congressional ban on $2.5 billion in "risk corridor" payments to insurers that President Obama himself signed into law, even making illegal payments to insurance companies on behalf of members of Congress and their staffs, giving Congress its own special exemption from Obamacare.
Not every cat crosses your path by chance. Some appear precisely when your heart is hidden behind the highest walls showing you that love always finds a way.
See picture below for an example:
my dad's very sweet elderly dog died a couple of years ago and they've been grieving ever since, but today they adopted what is essentially a tiny lamb named Daisy and I'm so excited to meet her 🥺🥺

Good Morning from my Wolfpack fellow Patriots and Happy Sunday. I let the pups outside multiple times per day, but they only do this during the hottest part in the afternoon. All others times they want back inside in less than 5 minutes. Anyhoo, have a great day everyone. Peace! ✌🏼
Curly had the most beautiful Sunday ever at the beach today, and she looks like it! 🏖️☀️
This brave little girl spent her whole life on the streets and was found hiding under cars after being attacked by bigger dogs. Now, her joyful personality is back in full force! Her signature curly tail never stopped wagging as she played in the sand and water today.
Enjoy the sunshine, Curly, next stop is your forever home in the UK! 🇬🇧
