Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivers master class on how to handle a protester

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is proving he’s a rock star both in front of and behind the camera.

Bessent has quickly risen to one of President Trump’s most formidable allies. He’s been an unapologetic voice of reason as he takes on the leftist media shills hellbent on spinning Trump’s economic policies.

So, it wasn’t exactly surprising to see Bessent, when confronted by some leftist protesters outside a D.C. eatery, handle the situation with poise, grace, and a little snark.

As a seemingly amused Bessent neared the entrance where the protester was blathering something into a mic as he held his middle finger up, the laughing secretary stopped to take a quick photo of the poor sap with his finger in the air.

While Bessent’s reaction wasn’t particularly surprising given his calm and strong nature, X users found it extremely refreshing and weighed in on the exchange:

Always laugh in the face of the enemy.

This is a good idea. We need to document their current behavior because in 10 years they’ll deny they were doing this

Bessent looks like he can handle himself

Scott Bessent is the only cabinet member that is his own security team.

While most celebrated Bessent’s move, X user John McCoy raised an important question… How did protesters seemingly know where he’d be?

Once again..WHO IS LEAKING..and letting these people know where people in our administration are? He’s not even in the building yet. https://t.co/nuUPDvB5U1
