Billionaire Key Square hedge fund founder Scott Bessent: Trump nominates Scott Bessent as treasury secretary; picks Russ Vought to lead budget office Easily one of Trump's best cab pix yet. Not a talking head, not an overblown celeb persona, but a bona fide financial badass with worldly cred.
So Trump's first cabinet selection who is legitimately qualified?* * Hilarious, also, how poster cites these other types of charlatans as if.......they are typical types of cabinet picks, and not just, well, typical for Trump. Who doesn't really GAF about whether they can do a good job and serve the American people.
Have to enjoy the irony of one of Soros' closest confidants in the Cabinet after these folks spent years freaking out about him! Going to take some revising of the boogeyman conspiracies now after hiring his former Head of Research and Chief Investment Officer who received most of his startup capital both times he left from Soros himself.
President Trump outdoes himself with each successive pick. I've been pleased watching him form this authoritarian cabinet. I await his dictatorship. He should boot Biden out a few weeks early.
The whole "deep state" thing is pretty hilarious when Trump is filling his cabinet with literal billionaires. Drainin that swamp one billionaire at a time.
That's right. Smoke the commies, gubmnt parasites, vermin, and bought n paid fo' ho's out with successful predatory billionaire capitalist!
The carried interest lobby got their guy! Frankly, he’s the best of the guys he could have picked. Rounded out his DEI cabinet with the gay guy. Good for the Country to have some diversity in his sphere.
If DEI is on his brain, we’re not seeing much in the way of racial diversity in his choices. That tells me he does not care and will pick whomever he feels is best qualified for a role. Though it seems to me he is not afraid to promote women in his administration. Probably not a bad idea, for a myriad of reasons. Seems pretty clear our first female POTUS is going to have an (R) next to her name.
An all white cabinet is full of people who earned it! Including celebrity shitheads? What a tool of a take.
Bessent is not a DEI hire. As you’ve already admitted, he’s a well-qualified selection. The opposite of a DEI hire. But you knew this.
Good to know you believe everybody who is gay that gets an important job is a DEI hire. I’m sorry you feel that way.
His second, Marco Rubio was the first. Pam Bondi is qualified based on her experience as the Florida AG but her first loyalty will probably be to Trump rather than the rule of law or the Constitution. The fact that she dropped the case against Trump University after receiving a $25,000 campaign contribution doesn't say much for her ethics either.
