Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, an openly gay former George Soros minion who got the job because he “proved” last year that the stock market went up with convicted felon President Trump’s poll numbers, did not have the easiest morning on CNBC trying to sell the hosts on why the current turmoil in the market isn’t Trump’s fault and why it won’t dent his already steadily declining popularity either way. It’s not clear why he didn’t say “Look assholes, I was right about stocks gaining alongside Trump’s polls so how about shut the fuck up and let me do the treasuring, okay?”
