The man with Washington D.C. largest shovel is Treasury Chief Scott Bessent. Bessent has the challenge of spinning Trump II's "savage whims" as rational policy, then defending the digital Caligula's self aggrandizing.
Trump's done "over 200 trade" deals but Bessent recently prioritized 18 for completion by the end of the 90 day suspension. Plop!
Foreign capital is "flying" to our shores to build new factories or "fleeing" to offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands. Splat!
The $400 million Qatari flying palace is for the U.S. government or it's a memento for the Trump library, as if one will ever be constructed.
"Equalization"....Splurt!
"Groceries"....Phhhrrrpppp! Plapp!
Imagine if Scott Bessent's financial knowledge were used to foster economic growth instead of Trump "whim cleanup" and persistent backside kissing. Blind loyalty is the job of Trump II cabinet member. That and arse smooching with lots of saliva.
The PEU class has noted the reduction of one of their own. I never thought the privileged would have to rise up. So far they've been a compliant group.
As my father-in-law told my wife when she was younger. "When you tire of eating shit, you'll stop." Surely, Bessent is nearing his limit.
Update 5-20-25: Semafor reported on a mini sell America trade.
