Trump Taps Former Soros Colleague as Treasury Secretary

Is this acceptable to MAGA? We constantly hear complaints about Soros funding far left extremists for political office. Can a former colleague of the man for nearly two decades be trusted to be the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury?

Hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent, the pro-tariff Wall Street veteran and former colleague of Democratic megadonor George Soros, will become perhaps the most prominent voice shaping the Trump economy, with Bessent reportedly earning Trump’s nomination to become his Treasury Secretary amid a high-profile power struggle for the post.

Bessent worked for Soros from 1991 to 2000, rising to the firm’s head of European allocation by his departure, and returned to Soros from 2011 to 2015 as the fund’s chief investment officer, departing again to run Key Square with a $2 billion investment from the 94-year-old Soros (the Wall Street Journal reports Bessent hasn’t talked to his former boss Soros “in years”).



You get brilliant employees wherever you can get them, and the key word in this thread is "former."

Bessent has been a major fundraiser and donor for Donald Trump. He was an economic advisor for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
 
Trump doesn't trust anyone.
He trusts his immediate family and close friends, just like most people do.

He demands loyalty,
Ever work for a boss who didn't?

and like a dictator he rewards loyalty over ability.
Name a dictator who put loyalty above ability?
Even Hitler fired people for not getting things done (ability).
And Trump also fired people left and right in his first term who didn't get the job done.
Proving once again that you are a TOTAL IDIOT.

As long as Soros didn't go broke during that period, maybe we should listen to what he has to say.

Well it would have been preferable if Trump had nominated someone who thinks money magically appears every month on their EBT card as Treasury Secretary, but I guess a hedge fund manager will have to do.
 
Is this acceptable to MAGA?

Yes.

PS: He's gay.
 
Soros himself would be acceptable to MAGA if Trump nominated him for something.
Are you kidding? President Trump coopting George Soros from the left would the greatest coup de main in history, the American left would lose their minds.

George Soros in a MAGA Hat would be the death knell for the left.

Another red flag is that he's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (so is Tulsi Gabbard, IIRC).
