Treasury Boss Threatens Trump Insider: Face Punch Pending!
During a supposedly private dinner, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent experienced what one might call a 'leadership moment' by threatening to 'punch [Bill Pulte] in [his] fucking face'āall because Pulte allegedly bad-mouthed Bessent to none other than President Donald J. Trump. Picture the scene: high-level officials exchanging not cordial conversations, but full-on punches-with-words, reportedly erupting over a betrayal of presidential-scale gossip. That's right, folks, nothing warms the White House complex like a little fisticuffs-flavored diplomacy disguised as a private dinner spat. The timing and specifics are blurred, but who needs chronology when there's a direct threat to someone's face on the presidential social menu?
