    Trump 2.0's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent fails to divest his financial holdings and hit with watchdog warning


    Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, an Ivy leauger and former hede fund manager w a net worth in excess of $600 M, has failed to divest his financial holdings, the government’s ethics watchdog has warned


    The NYT reported Bessent’s biggest potential conflict of interest is his soybean and corn farmlands in North Dakota, which are worth an estimated $25 million.

    as the top negotiator w China, his team has been trying to get a commitment from China to buy more soybean from the US

    Biden sparked a war in Ukraine to protect his son's corrupt multi-million dollar payments from Burisma in Ukraine. The he pardoned him pre-emptively before he could be held accountable.

    Yeah, liberals might just want to sit this one out.


    GOOD DAY

    Russia invaded in early 2022 right after Biden/Blinken formed the strategic partnership agreement with Ukraine to pave the way for Ukraine to join NATO. Biden/Blinken knew that this would provoke Putin to war. And it did... just like they wanted. That's the facts, amigo. Democrats want endless war for a variety of reasons -- increase gov't spending, increase power in DC, excuse to raise taxes, toughen up the image of their otherwise limp party, launder money, etc, etc.


    GOOD DAY

    How demented of a person are you? My god the economy is going to **** all around you. Layoffs at record high, unemployment at record high, inflation is high AND WILL GO HIGHER BECAUSE TARRIFS.

    You have mental health issues if you find trolling this fun. People's lives are at stake.

    Objectively, none of your points are true. Layoffs are not at record highs. Unemployment is no where close to a record high, and inflation is low (below 3.0%). May I ask where you source your news? Because you are being misled.


    WOW

    Oh you want to be pedantic, fine.

    Layoffs highest since covid.

    Unemployment aid record high in several years.

    His inflation is just barely beating what Biden just had...and when the tarriffs come in, that **** is going to rise.

    You need therapy, like its crazy that someone could pretend to be as bad and as ignorant as you.

    That's RIGHT. Whatever happened to big_suxx? Not missed, and God knows there are plenty of other bots to replace him.

    Not sure it matters when the president himself is corrupt. Is the concern here that Bessent's corrupt goals might conflict with Trump's corrupt goals?
