They are going to buy bonds, but to come up with the money, they will have to sell more bonds.
The US government doesn't print money. The Federal Reserve prints money. The government would have to sell bonds to the Federal reserve, and that would increase the money supply.
Basically, it's a publicity stunt. And Bessent knows it. I would guess most bond traders know it.
This sounds a lot like the idea of a complete moron who knows nothing about the bond market. Who might that be?
