Gregory Meeks Destroys Scott Bessent Over Trump’s Tariff “Emergency” Claims
Congressman Gregory Meeks didn’t hold back when questioning Donald Trump’s Treasury nominee Scott Bessent. In this tense exchange, Meeks dismantled the claim that trade deficits are a “national emergency,” reminded the committee that America has lived with deficits for four decades under both parties, and exposed how Trump is trying to use tariffs as a power grab to bypass Congress.Meeks also called out Trump’s hypocrisy: bragging about the strong 2024 economy under President Biden, then blaming Biden when things weakened in 2025 under Trump’s own watch. And when it comes to Trump’s business record? Six bankruptcies, unpaid debts, and a history of walking away from failure — hardly the model of a “great dealmaker.”
This hearing reveals the deeper danger of Trump’s economic agenda: not just bad policy, but an erosion of constitutional checks and balances, with ordinary Americans footing the bill.
What do you think — are trade deficits really a national emergency, or is this just another Trump power grab? Drop your thoughts below.
