WTF?
Just read that he has a “husband” . Lol
Hopefully he does a good job but between working with Soros and being a fag that’s two strikes
At least he’s not a Yalie who was in Skull and Bones.
He’s a Yalie who was in Wolf’s Head.
Roger Stone is a huge Bessent fan and insists the Soros connection was long ago and irrelevant. So we shall see. Yeah he's a fag with a "husband," but so is Peter Thiel, whose support in 2016 was critical.
Very pleased with that. I had been hoping he would put someone forward from the gay community. Part of the attacks on Trump is that he is anti-gay and I’ve never seen that. I see him as able to deal with every person as an individual and judge them on their ability and effectiveness and not on their life styles. Being a New Yorker, he’s dealt with everyone. He wouldn’t be as successful as he is if he were a prejudiced man.
In my professional life and in my hobbies, I’ve known a lot of gay people that I’ve thought the world of. They aren’t the ones you see acting out in Pride Parades. They’re the ordinary everyday people who just fell for someone different and have the same odds of long term relationships as my friends who are straight. None of them wear rainbows or put up flags on their homes. None of them are embarrassed over their significant other.
I trust Trump to judge individuals, not classes of people. But politics needs some level of diversity to bring in voting blocks. Trump’s choice here is exactly right. He’s not trying to appeal to Biden’s flaming weirdos. He won’t bring in the weirdo voting block but he WILL bring in the normal American gay community that is professional.
Good choice!
As for the Soros connection, I’ll trust Trump to recognize that the man is not a hidden progressive but knows the other side and, hopefully, will be better equipped to protect us against them.
As I recall when Lincoln had his Treasury Secretary forced on him Lincoln said fine, he can be in charge of the Treasury after we change the locks on the door.
“Scott Bessent, former George Soros money manager”

Every hedge fund manager was a “former George Soros money manager”.
So that’s a bulls#it characterization.
If you want to catch a bad guy, hire his accountant.
