Identity politics is bad no matter which way it goes. Conservative, free market southern man is DEI because he’s gay.
Never mind his actual accomplishments.

Bessent is known for his support of laissez-faire economic policies reminiscent of the pre-Trump Republican Party. However, he has also praised Trump’s use of tariffs as a strategic negotiating tool, aligning with the president-elect’s economic philosophy that is skeptical of regulations and international trade.
Notably, Bessent has emerged as a strong advocate for Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry. In an interview from June, he expressed enthusiasm about the intersection of crypto and Republican values. “I have been excited about the president’s embrace of crypto and I think it fits very well with the Republican Party, crypto is about freedom in the crypto economy is here to stay,” he said.

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.
Glad you posted that because i still see there's plenty here that still need to be reminded

Bessent is a MAGA Bannon Warroom Posse member. He’ll be fine.
