Watch the corporate media coverage. If they're excited or approve, it's a terrible hire. If they lose their minds, tear their clothes and heap ashes on their heads, it was the right choice.

In 2000, Bessent hosted a fundraiser for Al Gore at his East Hampton, New York, home.[21]

In 2016, Bessent donated $1 million to Donald Trump's presidential campaign.[22]

In February 2024, Bessent hosted a fundraiser in Greenville, South Carolina, that raised nearly $7 million for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.[23] In April 2024, Bessent was a host for a Palm Beach, Florida, fundraiser that raised $50 million for the Trump campaign.[24]

In July 2024, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Bessent was a key economic advisor to President Trump.[25] He is reportedly a candidate for United States Secretary of the Treasury in a second Trump administration,[26] and proposed a three-point economic plan for Trump modeled on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's "Three Arrows" economic policy.[27]

Looks like a “Trump Loyalist”.

I’m okay with that.

That is the resume of a true Trump loyalist. He’s a money generating machine. No pun intended considering his new role

People are not going to like his resume or past associations at all.

Can’t fault a guy for making his way. I’m assuming he’s earned his stripes if he’s been MAGA for more than a minute

You damn right. The Federal Reserve must go. The Creature From Jeckyl Island must be ended.
