Scott Bessent thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, but his disastrous financial record and increasingly strange public statements tell another story. Catherine Rampell and Sam Stein dissect the Treasury secretary’s jaw-dropping Axios interview, then Catherine talks with an American cheesemaker whose business has been hammered by Trump’s trade wars, supposedly designed to protect farmers like him.
