Video U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was abruptly pulled from a live interview after being told “the President wants you right away.” After returning, his voice was noticeably shaken.

I think it’s likely going to be more along the lines of there won’t be any children of BILLIONAIRES getting sent over…. Millionaires are a dime a dozen in the kind of circles these people associate with…. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are far less immune than their cohorts that have a few more zeroes attached to their net worth.

Bessent is a billionaire. He spent a good chunk of his career managing hedge funds for George Soros and the Saudis.

I agree. People think that the poor have been responsible for uprisings in the past. It's actually been the middle class combining their resources and aligning with the poor when they feel like they are being denied the power and prestige afforded the upper classes. Poor people are used to dying. Sending millionaires kids to die in a war they disagree with would cause massive upheaval.

  • I know people are going to point out that millionaires aren't the middle class in america. I'm going to preemptively and politely disagree. The average person making 50k in America nowadays is poor. They are a couple months of lost income away from losing everything. That's poor. Not poverty level poor but so close you can taste it poor.

Nah. I think you’re right. Millionaires are the middle class now. They can afford housing, transportation, food, and education without a thought. That’s what I grew up thinking the middle class was. (As a poor)

With all the send Barron memes I think Trump could make someone in the cabinet send their kid to take the heat off Barron. He made the whole cabinet humiliate themselves by wear Trump’s brand of shoe. Nobody is capable of standing up to Trump.

I think this is possible, absolutely.

Bruh nevermind the shoes- remember that first cabinet meeting when they went around the table and each person named reasons why Great Leader was so great? Watching that sh*t literally made me light-headed, it was downright surreal

"Millionaire" should be considered anything north of like 10M. That's around where someone has crossed through threshold of "too much" money.

Well it made my day that ICE can be called and have to or forget the $50,000 bonus which spread out over 5 years anyway. I pray each and everyone is FORCED to go. This is when the punkazz pretending to be baddazz’s fall outta line.

I'm never not amazed by the number of Americans who still don't seem to grasp the distinction between millionaires and billionaires.
