> Have you looked at how many people in the incoming administration raised or donated money to the Democrats? <

Yes, right you are. But please see my post #15.

I bet he knows quite a bit about Soros.
A lot that Trump needs to know.
I think Bessent is a good pick.

RE: A Soros bro.

As gay as Buttigieg but clearly more qualified for the job.

this is one that Elon and Trump’s lawyer were disagreeing about. Elon lost this fight.

I haven't done much research but I would take Elon's side in this.

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.

Gee.....there's so many incredibly smart people on FR, who know immediately that Trump's picks are crap.

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?

Trump should choose somebody else. About Scott Bessent:
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.
