Should be concerned? Bessent was a partner in Soros Fund Mgmt. Koch Appeasers in DoD.

I mention these as some posters would consider these red flags and render these as bad appointments....

The new SecTreas was a partner in Soros Fund Mgmt - most recently 2011-2015. Donated to Gore, Obama and Clintons before supporting Trump. Maybe he hitches his cart to the strongest horse?

Per Daniel Greenfield of FrontPageMagazine, "Koch appeasers" have made their way into the Pentagon.

quote:

“As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people,” President Trump tweeted. “It would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch)” along with a long list of others.

But by then it was already too late. The Kochers were already on the inside.


Front Page Mag

I would be more concerned about the latter at this point...

This has been covered at length.

It’s possible he’s a plant. He sure talks MAGA.

He’s a smart guy, no doubt about it.

Yes, he worked closely with Soros for many years.

He supposedly disagrees with him on fundamental issues.

I’m sure his background was heavily scrutinized and questioned by many in the Trump orbit. They’re obviously satisfied he can play a good role for them while they watch him. Could he be snowing them? Possibly.

Can’t be worse than Larry “make it rain” Kudlow.

Amazing he gets largely no blame from the PPP loan bonanza.

Biggest source of inflation by a mile

The Guy ruling El Salvador was once a member of a Drug Cartel. He knows how to unravel and rehab drug cartel members.

Maybe Bessent can be an asset.

Bessent was a protege of Druckenmiller not Soros. They were the money guys. Bessent is perfect for the job and totally maga.

This sounds like one of those stories/threads designed to get the retards who hate Trump to beat their micro cocks like gorillas and scream at the sky about blah blah blah.

I see Kiwi is in the first 5.

Can we get a boozie? How about a POTUS? Roger will surely be along shortly.

Chicken thanks you for the engagement!

Dumbass check Bessent's background and his work on Soros' Quantum fund. Maybe you are too stupid to do that. You guys say Soros is the devil and yet you don't mind your hero for hiring Beelzebub.

I wouldn't necessarily trust Druckenmiller either. He's the guy that brought the idea of shorting entire economies to Soros. Soros just told all of them that if they were that sure of their assessment that they should go all in.

Personally have no problem with Bessent in this role. Just pointing out Trumpkin hypocrisy. If Soros is akin to Satan's spawn then his proteges are not much better. Hell Bessent did not just short the pound, he returned in 2011-2015 to Soros to short the yen and made Soros even more money to bankroll his agenda.
