    Bessent, a former hedge fund executive whose net worth is estimated by Forbes to be around $600 million

    Bessent’s government financial disclosure shows that he owns soybean and corn farmland in North Dakota that has an estimated worth of between $5 million and $25 million.

    Poor guy, it must be heartbreaking to have to give up one of his private jets.

    Trump Treasury Sec. Bessent says he’s felt ‘pain’ from China because he’s a ‘scumbag landlord’.

    Fixed it. Who’s this Pain lady from China, and why is she lowering herself to the level of associating with this guy? Jobs just that hard to come by, I reckon.

    Pain from China?! China made the same business decisions any other person, company, or nation would do. I laughed because our news was reporting that China was pressuring their businesses into avoid our products. Like no, they just naturally went with the cheaper products and better costume service.

    For some reason Farmer Fred quotes from South Park comes to mind -

    “Oh ayuh, ya don’t wanna go up that rud; otta hist’ry up that rud.”
