Bessent Mocks Newsom: ‘Patrick Bateman Meets Sparkle Beach Ken’ is Economically ‘Illiterate’

It’s so hard not to like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He’s smart, articulate, gives no cares, and, well, easy on the eyes!

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is in Davos for the World Economic Forum for some reason, decided to take a shot at Bessent, calling him smug and out of touch.

Oh, honey.

Bessent answered:

California Governor Gavin Newsom called the Treasury Secretary smug. Today in Davos the Treasury Secretary responded.. and I have to quote this: “Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He’s here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros, and Davos is a perfect place for a man who, when everyone else is on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church.”The Secretary added: “Shame on him. He is too smug, too self-absorbed, and too economically illiterate to know anything.”The Secretary concluded with: “Let me know if you need any further clarification.”

“Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken” is something I will never get over.
