BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren HAMMERS Trump’s Treasury Secretary on his lies as American families struggle with groceries — “I DON’T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren came armed with facts, patience, and zero tolerance for nonsense — and Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promptly unraveled.
Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee about the Trump economy, Bessent tried to gaslight his way through a simple reality: Americans can’t afford groceries. According to Donald Trump, that’s all a “hoax,” a “scam,” a “con job.” Warren asked the obvious follow-up: Is affordability fake, or not?
Bessent squirmed. It was “nuanced,” he said — then blamed the entire crisis on the “Biden-Warren economy.” Translation: nothing bad is Trump’s fault, even a year into Trump’s presidency.
Then came the moment that went viral.
Trump had just claimed, “We have the groceries going down.” Warren asked Bessent — repeatedly — whether grocery prices actually dropped in 2025. Each time, Bessent dodged with the same meaningless talking point: “Numerous prices have.”
Finally, Warren cut through the fog. “I’m sorry — I don’t know if you can hear me.”
And then she buried him.
Citing Trump’s own Bureau of Labor Statistics, Warren laid out the truth Bessent refused to say: grocery prices were 2.4% higher at the end of 2025 than the year before. Trump’s own Department of Agriculture projects prices will climb even more in 2026. Families aren’t thriving — they’re drowning.
Warren didn’t stop there.
She pressed Bessent on Trump’s open intimidation of the Federal Reserve, asking whether Trump’s Fed pick Kevin Warsh would be sued or criminally investigated if he didn’t slash interest rates on command. Bessent couldn’t promise that that wouldn’t happen — then tried to laugh it off as a “joke.”
Warren wasn’t laughing. “The American people aren’t laughing,” she said. “They’re the ones struggling.”
This hearing exposed the Trump economic agenda in full: deny reality, dodge accountability, threaten institutions, and mock anyone who tells the truth. Elizabeth Warren made sure America heard it loud and clear — even if Scott Bessent pretended not to.
