Bessent hits back as anchor presses him on Trump's health

Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, pushed back against questions about President Donald Trump's health during a heated interview at the New York Times DealBook Summit. Bessent accused the media of double standards, referencing past scrutiny of Joe Biden's health and defending Trump's capacity by highlighting his active schedule and frequent cabinet meetings. Recent speculation about Trump's health intensified after reports of a more limited schedule and visible signs of fatigue, but the White House released detailed medical results showing the president is in 'excellent' health following advanced imaging scans. Despite being diagnosed with a circulatory condition common for his age, Trump's physician confirmed there are no significant health concerns, and the president continues to maintain a busy workload, though his number of public appearances has decreased compared to his first term.
