Scott Bessent, Trump's Pick for Treasury Secretary, Doesn't Fit His Loyalist Mold.

[Wiz Imp]

1. The guy may have worked for George Soros but he sure ain't no liberal

He's no economist either. He doesn't appear to be very intelligent either. He's a hedge fund manager who has no background in actual economics.

This is all you need to hear from him to know what a ridiculously unqualified person he is:

A key advisor to Trump on economic policy, Bessent donated about $3 million to Trump and other Republican causes this election cycle, calling Trump “very sophisticated on economic policy” compared to the “economic illiterate” Harris in an interview with Forbes last week.

So Trump who has no clue how Tariffs work is “very sophisticated on economic policy”, while Harris, whose economic proposals were favored by dozens of Nobel Prize winning economists is “economic illiterate” . It appears to me that the real economic illiterate is this pathetic douchebag.
