President-elect Donald Trump will name hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent as the next treasury secretary, four sources tell The Post, ending a rough-and-tumble race that saw fierce jockeying among power players across Wall Street.

I haven't done much research but I would take Elon's side in this.
Council on Foreign Relations... !?!? Uh oh.
Another homo married to a homo with two kids. I wonder if he chest-fed the kids with that disgusting strap-on paraphernalia like Buttegieg did. Gross.
A Democrat SSoro$ ally.
I mean, why did not Trump consult these incredibly smart people instead of drawing names out of a hat, as he surely must have done??
/sarcasm
Even better, why did not these incredibly smart people run for president?
A homo Soros bro.
Also sounds like Massie isn’t getting Agriculture.
Kelly Loeffler got that slot.
That’s why I posted what I did.
The George Soros Partner Who Disrupted Right-Wing Publishing
Trump had no problems nominating a lifelong Democrat with ties to Soros as his Secretary of the Treasury. Trump’s nominee is also a billionaire. But that wouldn’t have anything to do with this Soros ally working for Trump. With Trump it’s all about money and nothing else.
