Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent faced backlash for falsely claiming inflation didn’t rise under Trump and suggesting moving to red states could cut costs, contradicting data and ignoring economic realities.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent drew widespread criticism on November 23, 2025, for claiming inflation had not risen under the Trump administration and suggesting Americans could lower living costs by moving from blue to red states, a proposal dismissed as impractical and lacking evidence.
His remarks contradicted data showing sustained inflation increases, including a rise from 2.3% to 3% between April and September, and were criticized for ignoring systemic factors like tariffs and supply chain issues.
Bessent’s claims, backed by a politically aligned Council of Economic Advisers, were met with skepticism from economists and the public, who highlighted the disconnect between his statements and the financial struggles of average Americans.
