who cares about the people, as long as the credit card companies are making bucks.

Q: What is your message to Americans having a hard time economically? A: There's no threat to the credit card companies Thank goodness the credit card companies are safe! I was worried they wouldn't be able to afford to eat next month! As for Americans having difficulty, let them eat cake!

Of course his only concern is that of the welfare of the credit card ceos. Regular people however…

he immediately identified the "them" that are suffering as the CEOs of credit card companies. strong Let them eat cake energy.

The exact kind of grifting toady that Tar and Feathering is meant for.

Prerequisites for a 47 administration Position: 1. Kiss trump’s ass 2. Lie to the American people while kissing trump’s ass 3. Pledge undying loyalty to kissing trump’s ass. 4. Cruelly address policy, as long as you kiss trump’s ass. 5. Kiss trump’s ass more. 6. Don’t stop.

Smarmiest mf next to Cruz and Bessent

He thinks we're concerned about the CEOs of the credit card companies?!?

These people keep telling everyone who they are and what their priorities are. Yet red state people keep voting for them

What a jerk

Why the hell would I care if CEOs of the credit card companies are worried about delinquent credit card balances? Just like the banks "too big to fail" in the 2007-2008 recession, they'll make out like bandits while ordinary Americans lose their jobs and their homes.

Oh thank Christ. For a moment I was afraid the humble little credit card companies might be in trouble. Thank God it is only "Big Consumer" that is struggling right now.

Nice to hear there's no threat to the banks. How about to the people, asshole?

So he’s not worried about the Corporations. They are fine.

Of course there’s no threat. This was proven after 2008.

Well, as long as there is no threat to the credit card companies I guess it's okay. 👍

What percentage of credit limits did the card companies reduce? Why were they reduced?

whew at least the ceos aren't threatened

The "K" shaped economy at work.

So, have you talked to any regular people? You're afraid too!!!

Does he ever stop smiling like a little fucking creep all the time?

Well thank god the CEO of VISA isn't unduly concerned about me maxing out my cards buying bread.

Thank goodness we have someone looking out for the credit card companies’ bottom lines…

This would make a great SNL skit

I once worked for BofA as a senior manager in their home equity/HELOC division. People "taking longer to pay" is a big concern, as it often leads to defaults. Which any person of normal intelligence knows, of course. 🙄

McSmirkey: My message to the American people? We talk to bank CEOs. There is no threat to them. My answer could not be clearer: We don’t care about the finances of average Americans. 🛑

This guys face make my blood boil

Not any threat to *them*; got it

Well sure, let's worry about the increased profits credit card companies are receiving instead of the consumer who is struggling to pay those credit card fees.

Hey guys, it’s cool. Don’t even worry about the credit card companies.

So this idiot is worried about the billion dollar corporation but not the American people…and now he admits it

She was asking about the people, not the CEOs. But his answer tells you everything.

Let them eat CEO complacency!

I’m sorry, is he saying he’s checking in on the credit card companies to make sure THEY’RE okay in all of this??!!!

Government of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs, for the oligarchs.

FFS if people are using credit cards to buy everyday essentials, that is a major problem!

Republican candidate should use this as a campaign theme. They'll win for sure!!

Full of shit.

Wow! It's one of those Marie Antoinette moments.

So out of touch he had no idea they were talking about humans and not corporations.

“The people are suffering!” “You’re right! Corporate profits are booming!”

GTFO you stupidest of Trunts. The credit card companies aren't worried? STFU you stupid Trunt.

Remember when Yam Tits proclaimed all credit card companies were to lower interest rates to 10% and if they didn’t it would be a crime?

I almost want something terrible to happen to one of his family members, just to see whether it's possible for him to appear in public without that damned smirk. I absolutely hate what these people have done to my charity towards my fellow humans, is what I'm saying.

Ass with a SEG…

Hassett is a smug, sled important ass

Eew.

Wow. What an asshole!

I've never been much of a poker player, but this feels like kind of a tell.

He is an absolute phony little creep. The little smile needs wiped off his pie hole.

Gods Hassett has an eminently punchable face. Did he actually listen to the question? Bream was talking about the credit consumers, not the CEOs, you fucking cockwomble.

There’s not any threat to the CEOs of credit card companies? I am so relieved.

That was a non answer.

Thank god that National Economic Council (NEC) director is concerned that the nasty loser common people could be a threat to the credit card company CEOs and is looking out for them. Fortunately for America people aren’t going bankrupt at a fast enough rate to affect Epstein Class profits.

Whew! “No threat to credit card companies” … I was worried about those huge conglomerates that are raking in bigly profits from those double digit interest rates.

Hassett continues to be a dipshit.

Oh good. I was worried about those banks and their ability to give bonuses to their C suite employees. If this measure only means poor people are suffering, that's terrific news!

"People are using credit cards to pay for neccessities to survive" "its ok we talk to ceos and theres no threat" ????????

It’s not just poor people in trouble, they are unemployed people looking for jobs and not finding them in every socioeconomic category that are now living off credit cards…

You moron of course the CC companies are doing fine it’s the consumers being screwed

"And don't you worry about reports of people unable to pay rent. We talk to landlords all the time, and there's not any threat to them..."

Free Luigi!

You smug, tin-eared fucking simpleton.

The CEO's are fine, everybody. Nothing to worry about.

Got it. So he’s only worried about the credit card company profits.

Nothing more than a smarmy,smug, highly slappable wonderfuck.

Got to love his take on Americans getting into ever increasing debt. 'There's no threat to the CC Companies'.

Well as long as the ceo’s are fine, whew!🤬🤬🤬

ah, the credit card company ceos are doing just fine. 😅

"Eh, we talk to billionaire CEOs every day and they're not concerned at all. I mean, bananas are what, still only ten dollars?"

*violent pinging* THIS GUY IS A TANK. DO NOT DPS THE TANK. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. FOCUS ON THEIR HEALERS, NOT THE DUDE WITH A GAZILLION HP AND DEFENSIVES. DO NOT TUNNEL HIM. HE TAKES NO DAMAGE.

Republicans have to be the most transparent and honest politicians ever. They so obviously only give a fuck about rich people and want everyone to know it. Because they also know that as long as they deliver a constant stream of hate, racism, misogyny and culture wars, they will keep winning.

Whew!

I worked at Amex during the 2008 bust; individuals and companies going delinquent on their bills took them into bankruptcy, requiring a federal bailout

Not a problem at all. The credit card companies make even more money when people are behind on their payments with late fees and penalties. It’s a profit bonanza… for the credit card companies.

I read “message to them” as in the people who are using cards for necessities. Not “them” as credit card companies. The answer here shows where the concern lies. It’s insane.

They simply do not care about the citizens. They care about the 1% making BANK!

Credit is only good when it is affordable. Burying people in unaffordable credit because policies make everything unaffordable is a recipe for 2008.

All the Dems need to do for ads is just string together clips of Trump and his minions saying gob-smackingly stupid things that show their utter disdain for regular folks.

So busy twisting CEO arms for bribes they neither know nor care what’s happening to actual ppl.

So the policies may change when there are threats to the CEOs? (...am I reading this right?)

So he only cares about the threat to the rich guys OK.

He's an idiot. Or he thinks WE are.

Coming from a guy who works for a guy who doesn't pay his bills...

"We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and they don't feel threatened at all..." *sending up Luigi signal*

he is absolutly begging to be slapped across the face with a rusty shovel

Well, as long as the credit card CEOs are okay. 🙄

so out of touch.

Hassett is as dumb or dumber than trump!

I’ll take “what is tone deaf “ for $200, Ken.

These people are brain dead!

Be more out of touch, dude

I change the channel whenever his face appears. What a waste of space.

Is anyone more tone deaf than Hassett?

The smile is there

Doge Meme: This Is FineALT: Doge Meme: This Is Finestatic.klipy.com

Well, yeah, those are the people HE KNOWS in that scenario

Those poor CEOs. Oh the horror. What about people having to incur 22% interest just to survive? What about them, Hassett?

So obvious that he and the entire administration DO NOT care about you. They care about CEOs and the top 1%.

“there’s not any threat to them” They’re the ceo’s, of course there isn’t any threat to them! They’re the rich fuqs!

Republicans, PLEASE send this guy out on the election trail. Love, the Democrats

If you vote Republican, you deserve every bit of this.

Ah yes, credit card companies are okay with people taking more time to pay their bills. Makes sense! $$$+++ These fuckers think people are really stupid.

Well, as long as the CEOs are doing fine, it’ll be alright. 🙄🙄🙄

Only fucking morons and grifters are bully on AI. If you talk to any normal person, they’ll tell you they hate it. No sentient human wants an AI world.

Cool. People who could never earn another penny and still live the rest of their lives in more luxury than most of us can imagine don't feel threatened by people going broke while not paying back their debt. This isn't really a surprise. I worked for Capital One and never will again.

Naturally the biggest concern is for the credit card companies

Another broken promise. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump says he will temporarily cap credit card ratesHe said there would be a one-year cap on credit card rates as of Jan. 20.www.politico.com

Smug little twerp.

just watched a thing about Kroger saying they are reducing prices because there isn't enough in the grocery basket, meaning people are not purchasing groceries. The guy said watch for delinquent credit card debt. If it goes up, we are in real trouble.

He really said that.

These people are so out of touch.

This is exactly where the billionaire and corporate donors of the GOP want the average American to be ... in debt! And indebted American makes for a more docile and desperate worker.

Clueless!

The cc companies make out like bandits when people take longer to pay. Optimism keeps them doing whatever is necessary to stay afloat until they realise that they have no access to anything of substance and must declare bankruptcy. The cc companies will remain solvent and the CEOs happy.

That answer is dumb as hell but expected.

Now, wonder why that would be

Another winning message from the grinning fascist!

Keep it up Fox. Keep it up Hassett. This just encouraged another 100 or so viewers to either vote Democrat or stay home. We'll take the W.

Hassett is one of the sharpest guys in Trump's team.

Is he really as stupid as he seemingly is?

Hi America, Do you have a lot of lamp posts? I think you may be about to need them.

The CREDIT CARD companies aren't at risk?!!! OMG. That is what he is concerned about? What about the people becoming delinquent and risking bankruptcy just because they are buying food or medicine?

“We talk to people all the time (as he brushes he teeth in the morning looking at a mirror). People say Trump is amazing. They’ve never seen an economy so hit before.”

The most punchable face ever.

So he’s not worried about the consumers. But the banks. JFC……

BREAM: An out- of- control driver just ran down a huge group of people! HASSETT: Yeah but we talked to the driver and there’s very little damage to his car, so it’s all good.

Are Republicans fiscally responsible?The upcoming mid-term elections is likely to produce the worst possible political constellation as far as the outlook for US public debt is concerned. Here is why you should worry.www.jandehn.com

Pretty sure no one is worried about a threat to credit card companies. Once people start raking up late fees and in in over their heads there’s no way out. Credit card companies love this.

In the style of Marie Antoinette, early October 1793

so the loan sharks charging 23-33% aren’t all that bothered and there will be no discussion on why people are risking financial ruin to survive

In Canada, the 90 day delinquency rate on non mortgage debt is 1.77% and has actually gone down year over year among 18-25's. Instalment loans are highest and credit cards are 0.78% delinquent over 90 days.

“But the minute this credit card companies do start losing money, we will make sure Congress appropriates billions to cover their losses because it would crash the economy”….🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Not one of them have to worry about putting necessities on a credit card. They DON'T live in the same world as us. 🙄

Seems there is no threat to CEOs of credit card companies.

Those credit card companies are making a new kind of killing off of the “people are taking a bit longer.” It hasn’t come full circle yet but people & their “credit” are going to sink.

Whenever seeing this constantly grinning bobblehead saying anything, am reminded of this scene from the film, 'Being There'

All you gotta be is white in America...YouTube video by Miscellaneous Film Festival Podcastyoutube.com

This administration is out of touch with the economy. They think the stock market valuations are an accurate reflection of the economy. The two aren't directly correlated. The CAPE ratio for stocks is very over valued. This economy is a bug in search of a windshield.

Nobody cares about what a Nazi Muppet has to say. They are ALL full of shit! Stop giving them a platform to grandstanding from!!

IOW: Screw the worker, we're just glad the credit card corporations will be fine. It would be better if this admin talked to the average John & Mary Public "all the time" to check to see if they're fine

You could not get a better indication of how this administration thinks. This was a question about regular people going into credit debt and Kevin Hassett's first thought is about the CEO's of the credit card companies. This tells you all you need to know.

“We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies” is the antithesis of a flex.

More hot air and bullshit!!

Basic economics

He might just as well have come right out with 'Let them eat cake!'

Holy shit, Hassett is astonishingly stupid and tone-deaf, even for THIS administration. And that's saying something.

Citizens are paying high interest rates to pay for groceries, which are also high. Unsustainable. “I spoke to bankruptcy lawyers and they’re doing land office business”

Worried more about the companies than the people.

Lmfao talking to the ceo's as if they are the ones going into debt.

Just happy there’s someone out there looking out for the CEOs.

Sheesh! Talk about living in a bubble and not seeing the wider, sadder view!

Amazing. He just doesn't get it. He thinks we're worried about the credit card companies

Hassett: "We talk to CEOs of credit card companies all the time" and there's "no threat to them [CEO salaries]" Hey Hassett, way to show who the republicans are really concerned about=CEO salaries not decreasing and only increasing

Whew! I’ve been so worried about the credit card companies.

So missing the point.

People are taking longer and taking hits to their credit score! Why doesn’t he get this? Taking longer only hurts NOT help people who are struggling financially due to this administration! 🤬🤬🤬

Funny (not) now he interprets "Your message to them?" ... "them" being executives at credit card companies not the actual citizens being impacted. We know exactly where this admin's loyalty lies.

Them - the ceos.

The Baghdad Bob vibes from this administration’s bobbleheaded sycophants are just getting worse by the day

"It's okay. Ruin your credit for groceries."

Of course no pushback from the propaganda trump channel. They/the chief thief never cared about regular Americans, its all about the donor class. Maggots are too brainwashed to know whats happening to them.

Glad they talk to the CEO’s of credit card companies and the banks issuing the cards. Next conversation should be to suspend late penalties and the lowering of interest rates. No bank or credit card company should profit on the backs of Americans struggling due the failed administration policies.

What a relief that the credit card CEOs are OK. I was so worried.

Watch capital one stock market surge Monday morning🫣

Just shows you what he cares about

“There’s no threat to [the credit card compaies]”. Ummm, she asked you about US, not THEM.

Why do they still allow this guy on TV? It's one thing to be a combative asshole like the rest of this administration, but this guy is just a smiling idiot who tells you not to believe your eyes or the polling or the financial reporting and keeps predicting 6% growth. Who is this for?

And the personal bankruptcy lawyers are telling us that business is good and getting better. 🤗

Wait. He thinks the relevant concern is for the CEOs of the CC companies?!?! "There's no threat to them..." they're raking in interest and late fees!

In his world "them" only ever means the rich.

It should be illegal to charge CC interest on grocery purchases. Same for a “base amount of fuel” to get to their jobs. Is there a place for regular folks to register that their wages have not gone up with prices. Maybe…call congress or Trump? Oops! No help there! Sorry…

In a breathtaking moment of accidental honesty, Hassett misunderstands the question “what does delinquency mean for Americans suffering from increased costs?” He reframes the question because he’s not capable of acknowledging that we exist - only corporations matter. Can’t wait for the Dem ads.

Who is them in this sentence, "We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them."

A bit longer to what? Go in to bankruptcy?

Omg I’m SO relieved the rich continue to get richer while the rest of us are using it credit cards for food! It was keeping me up at night, sincerely.

I would forgoe my Social Security checks for a year to be left in a windowless room with this guy for ten minutes. That smirk would be gone forever.

Whoop BeltALT: Whoop Beltstatic.klipy.com

Wow! What an answer.

Another tone deaf elitist MAGAt who’s fine with throwing consumers under the bus.

Awesome that the cc companies are doing OK! /s

🤔🤨😤🤬

When I worked in collections for an auto credit company in my past life, if delinquency (DQ) rate went above 3% for 2 weeks in a row, everyone including managers had to come in every Saturday mornings and get on the phones and harass late payers until DQ dropped below 3%

This is so telling. They think we ain't shit. To them, we are only peasants to make them money.

it would be so funny to do things that would make hasset stop doing his smug little smile

"that's a sign you see when people are optimistic about the future." - HASSETT

These monsters create their own reality so they can sleep at night. 😡

Glad the credit card companies aren’t worried. They’re sitting pretty with the sky high interest rates they charge in normal times. Struggling folks must be paying late because they’re so excited about the boom that’s “about to come.” Get real. Get gone, Hassett, along with your co-shysters.

What happened to Trump’s promise of 10% interest rates?

Glad the CEOs are all right! Phew, that's everyone that matters covered and happy.

Neil Patrick Harris as Celestial ToymakerAlt: Neil Patrick Harris as Celestial Toymakerstatic.klipy.com

I can see him staring into space with that grin giggling away at some point.

Hassett is a doorknob.

Trump could DEMAND that every card company who supports him ‘cancel’ ALL credit debt to hep regular citizens.

That’s who he cares about. Not the people drowning in an ocean of high interest debt. The credit card companies.
