  • This statement is really weird, even for Trump because in the question asked immediately prior he clearly understands the question about whether he directed Bessant to intervene in the bond market stating.

    “Not at all. No, he’s a very capable man. He wanted to do it. He’s very good at it. He is a good touch. Very good natural touch for the bonds and interest.”

    Right? He understands ehats beung spoken about, or his answer at least makes it sound like he does.

    Then the reporter mentions that yields came back up and asks if Trump was going to direct Bessant to do “some other type of intervention”. At this point Trump suggests military intervention.

    He goes from “Bond market intervention” -> “Interest rates” (reasonable) to “Intervention” -> “I might direct the military to attack the bond market” (deranged) in, like 10 seconds. Is he just playing word association? Is he fucking with the reporter?
