This bessant guy as well as nutlick, Jamison and their felon boss are so far over their heads in any negotiations with countries that trump has hit with increased tariffs and disrespect,. They are put in a position of having to negotiate with highly experienced government officials, like PM Mark Carney, that are in their positions because of their extensive knowledge of international trade, finance and their experience. They know, from the beginning, that they are dealing with trump sycophants that are ill-prepared to negotiate trade deals AND are being directed by a guy that has bankrupted his businesses and is patently untrustworthy.

Mike Johnson needs to wipe the cheeto dust from him lips before speaking. He is nothing but a Trump ball sucker

From Australia – right NOW asking who's worse Scott Bessent or Mike Johnson is like asking if what type of shit sandwich you'd like to eat.
Would you prefer to eat a HORSE SHlT sandwich, a CHICKEN SHlT sandwich, a DOG SHlT sandwich, a BULLSHlT sandwich or just a plain SHlT sandwich?

I love the quote "you can say whatever you like about Mike Johnson, he will Never hear about it"
and it seems no one close to him will ever tell him about it either.
