Schmuck Of The Day – The Grin Reaper

The Grin Reaper

March 31, 2026

If you’ve never had the anger of seeing Kevin Hassett you are both lucky and wise, and presumably less nauseated and pained than I am. Hassett is Director of the National Economic Council, whatever the fuck that is. He is often in front of cameras relaying painful (for us, not for him) economic news with a smile you just want to smack off his stupid face with all your might, and then repeat the strike just for good measure and great pleasure.

Notice the shitty grin on Hassett’s smarmy face while he lies his ass off

Nearly a month into the about-to-be-escalated Iran “excursion” that Trump says he won in the first hour but somehow still needs to prosecute and is now preparing to put boots on the ground, here is what the incessantly-inappropriately-smiling Schmucky McSchmuckface recently said, apparently clueless as to the meaning of his words, or to whom they referred.

“If [the war] were to be extended, it wouldn’t really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we’d have to think about what we’d have to do about that, but that’s really the last of our concerns right now.”

Really!?

I get that there might be two separate issues – the national economy vs. average household finances. And the ‘vs.’ is critical here. This sniveling, very rich – though at the low end of the personal wealth scale in the richest administration in history – puke is worth millions and surely has not had to give a moment’s thought to the price of anything for a long time.

So yes, the so-called economy, which is rife with fake numbers, fake statistics and wheeling and dealing that most average Americans have nothing to do with, is supposedly doing fine. At the same time, real people are freaking out – ballooning gas prices, soon-to-be-exploding food prices, inability to afford medicines and health care, among other things.

To recap, Trump's lacky Kevin Hassett said this out loud in front of cameras and microphones:

"Helping consumers who are hurting is ‘really the last of our concerns right now."

I rest their case.

It doesn't get any more whatever the fuck this is than this.
