Give Donald Trump credit for this: he can turn practically anything into a reality show, including picking a Treasury Secretary. He spent many years working for Soros Fund Management, the investment firm owned by the Democratic mega-donor George Soros. And, if he makes it through Senate confirmation, he would be the first openly gay Treasury Secretary. When I interviewed Bessent in June, he strongly criticized the Biden Administration’s spending and regulatory policies, and defended Trump’s economic agenda. According to numerous accounts, Lutnick, who is a co-chair of Trump’s transition, was one of the actors who tried to block Bessent’s appointment to the Treasury Department.
