Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s defense on Thursday of slapping President Donald Trump’s face on a $250 bill ahead of America’s 250th birthday appalled a political analyst. <\/p>\n

During the daily press briefing, Bessent was challenged by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about whether putting the president’s face on a new currency is appropriate, given the cost-of-living challenges many Americans are facing, and Trump is seeking more than $1 billion in taxpayer money to build his ballroom. There is also a federal law that prohibits living presidents from being featured on U.S. currency. <\/p>\n

Bessent claimed that there is “nothing untoward” about putting Trump’s face on the new bill and that the administration is waiting on Congressional approval of a bill that would allow Trump to be featured on the currency. <\/p>\n

Adam Mockler, a progressive political commentator, was appalled by Bessent’s reaction and explained why in a new reaction video on his YouTube channel. <\/p>\n

“There’s nothing untoward about it?! You guys are changing the laws to do it at a time when Trump is enriching himself at the expense of the American people,” Mockler said. “It’s getting to a point where Trump’s enrichment is like a zero-sum game. Meaning every single dollar that he gains in the stock market via crypto, via corrupt deals, is a dollar that is taken directly out of the pocket of the American people. It’s like a zero-sum corruption scheme that is screwing over all Americans.”<\/p>\n
