New book alleges treasury secretary called Zelensky ‘special-needs child’
A forthcoming book chronicling the first year of Donald Trump's second administration alleges that his treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, made a series of disparaging remarks about Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of the Ukrainian president's visit to the White House early last year.
Regime Change was co-authored by the New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, based on "hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration's most closely guarded rooms," according to the Simon & Schuster website. It is set to be published on Tuesday, June 23.
According to excerpts published by The Guardian on Saturday, Bessent referred to Zelensky as a "little f****r" and a "special-needs child for the Europeans," and called him "Mr. Bean on crack."

Look who's talking. Every member of this MAGA administration is a special needs child.
That's rich coming from Scott Bessent. He's possibly the dumbest one of that pack of imbeciles.
That might be true, and it's pretty hard to out-dumb Witkoff, or even worse, Trump.
It's such a hard thing to figure out who is the biggest idiot in that bunch. I mean, KegsBreath put a reporter in the Invasion-In-Progress signal group and quoted Pulp Fiction like a gospel text. It's hard to beat that level of concentrated stupidity.
What a terrible basket of deplorable people
Projecting their own insecurities onto other people seems to be a hallmark of this administration. I would argue it's a guilty conscience perhaps if I thought they had one.
Another obvious case of the Nazi trying to deminishthe not-Nazi.
Because he obviously knew that his physician was the Nazi position, and he wanted everyone to pick his Nazi position rather than the not-Nazi position.
Hopefully, most people are not stupid enough to listen to him and pick the not-Nazi position
And fuck everyone who sided with his Nazi position, which is extremely obvious and transparent
