9. Probably the most qualified pick in his entire cabinet.

The fact that he's worked closely with Soros is kinda funny. He's gay, too, so I'm sure the "drain the swamp" types are going to be upset with this pick.

Bessent understands macro economics, international finance, etc. If anybody has the credibility to talk Trump out of disastrous tariffs, it'll be Bessent. He's certainly more qualified than Mnuchin.

I know of no scandals or corruption issues with him so I'm not sure why people are saying he's corrupt.
