White House economic wiener Ken Hassett on Wednesday told Fox Business’s Stuart Varney that everything will be fine despite the massive deficit increases about to be self-inflicted by the “Big Beautiful Bill” and the US is looking at 4 percent economic growth, so it’s cool, Stu. In the latter third of the clip, when asked about how the whole trade war thing was going and why his fat idiot boss hasn’t gotten one, let alone “90 deals in 90 days” as they sold it, Hassett told Varney “Well there’s a lot going on in the world, as you know,” while Hassett no doubt in his mind thought “PEOPLE LIKE YOU HAVE FUCKED WITH ME MY ENTIRE LIFE AND NOW I WORK IN THE ACTUAL FUCKING WHITE HOUSE, YOU BRITISH PIECE OF SHIT! YOU WILL RESPECT ME OR I WILL MARCH INTO YOUR FUCKING STUDIO WITH A 12 GAUGE AND BLAST YOU NOT IN THE FACE BUT YOUR CROTCH SO I CAN WATCH YOU WRITHE IN AGONY AS YOU BLEED TO DEATH! I ALMOST DID IT TO A KID ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I FUCKING SWEAR I WILL DO IT TO YOU! FUCK YOU!”
