This disgraceful stooge fell further than any other Trump groveler

Born in a small South Carolina town, Bessent, 63, graduated from Yale in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. Eventually he went to work for Soros Fund Management — founded by the Republicans’ favorite Democratic demon, George Soros.


Bessent is openly gay, married since 2011 to a former New York City prosecutor, and has been a strong advocate for gay rights and marriage equality. In 2000, he supported Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore, co-hosting a fundraiser for him in East Hampton, New York. He donated $2,300 to Barack Obama’s campaign in 2007. Although he donated $25,000 to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations, by then he was also a major donor to Republican candidates.


Stage 3 :Trump Sycophant
Instead of a principled voice for sound economic policies and principles, Bessent has become a cheerleader for Trump’s dubious financial moves. At times, he has resorted to rhetorical gymnastics to explain away Trump’s plain language. For example:


Sunday evening, Jan. 18, NPR‘s Nick Schifrin posted a letter that Trump had previously sent to Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. Trump revealed that after not winning last year’s Nobel Peace Prize “for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS,” he “no longer feel[s] an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America … The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”

Hours after the public disclosure of Trump’s message, Bessent held an impromptu press conference on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He tried to explain away Trump’s childish fit: “I think it’s a complete canard that the president will be doing this because of the Nobel Prize,” Bessent asserted. Accusing Trump’s critics of “hysteria,” Bessent said, “What I am urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out.” His words fell flat, and he looked as uncomfortable as he must have felt.

1. People like Bessent are the worst because they know better.

Pissant knows Trump is a blight and a cancer but he ties themselves in knots trying to justify his destructive policies and explain his demented, incoherent statements. He was sucked into the swamp by his own greed and ambition, and it's too late for him to wash off Trump's permanent stank, no matter how hard he might try someday. He's another one whose soul was eaten by Trump. Whatever you might think of James Comey, he nailed this one thing about Trump and his enablers: "Proximity to an amoral leader reveals something depressing. . . . Accomplished people lacking inner strength can’t resist the compromises necessary to survive Mr. Trump and that adds up to something they will never recover from. It takes character . . . to avoid the damage, because Mr. Trump eats your soul in small bites."

5. He's not stupid, and that makes him even worse than if he were stupid.

He is, however, a soulless fuckstick, and he's soulless because he knowingly and intentionally sold whatever soul he might have started out with to Trump.

6. Stupid

Because he thinks he’s special … he would be lucky to have two functioning brain cells to explain to him how he is on the list to be exterminated

3. Just makes me wonder who all are in those Epstein files.

4. My "Democratic " Senator Gillibrand voted for him

I've been trying to get an explanation from her office for almost a year.
She's the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Makes me very concerned about our chances to take the Senate.

7. So sorry you have such poor representation

She was a leader in piling on to get Al Franken out of office

9. I think people like him know what is coming
