BREAKING REPORT: Trump Expected to Nominate Former Soros-Backed Candidate as Treasury Secretary
Reports have emerged that President-elect Trump is considering Scott Bessent, a former hedge fund manager with ties to George Soros, as his pick for Treasury Secretary. This potential nomination has ignited a debate among Trump supporters, given Bessent’s history as a key Soros Fund Management leader in the 1990s. Some supporters see the choice as a concerning departure from Trump’s commitment to taking on the establishment, while others believe Bessent’s financial expertise could serve as a tactical advantage as Trump seeks to revitalize America’s economy.
Bessent played a significant role in the Trump campaign as a major donor and vocal advocate, frequently criticizing “Bidenomics” and outlining his vision for economic reform on conservative media like The Ingraham Angle and Bannon’s War Room. His criticism of Biden’s fiscal policies and his experience in both traditional and alternative finance could help Trump manage key issues such as inflation, debt, and economic growth. However, his early career connections to Soros, a figure frequently at odds with conservative values, are raising questions about whether he aligns with Trump’s mission to drain the “deep state” swamp.
This potential appointment has so far only been reported by Epoch Times reporter, leaving room for speculation.
Commentator Kyle Becker emphasized that no official announcement has been made, and the nomination will be confirmed only once Trump makes a direct statement. But the idea alone has stirred strong opinions, with some conservatives wary of whether a former Soros associate truly represents Trump’s America-first agenda.

"It’s clear that Kamala Harris is an economic illiterate. The attack on tariffs — I defy anyone to ask her to explain exactly what a tariff is. She doesn’t know, that’s just something that someone put on a teleprompter.”

If Bessent is officially named Treasury Secretary, it will be one of the more unexpected choices of Trump’s new administration, underscoring his strategy of leveraging top-tier expertise while challenging traditional loyalties. Whether this mix of high-profile talent with controversial connections will achieve Trump’s economic vision remains a point of contention for both his supporters and critics.
Assuming this is true, it’s an interesting choice. I’ve seen some people say the Soros stuff doesn’t matter and others worry that it’s a bad sign:
But we also have this:
What do you think?
Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
The only surprise is that this joker is not an ardent zionist. His relationship with that pig Soros should be enough to make anyone shun this POS.
It’s a show people. Trump is a Zionist, twice bailed out by the Rothschilds. He will do lot of good so you will support his evil actions later on. I even predict that Iran will be accused of a fake assassination attempt against Trump in order to get you riled up enough to demand Trump blow Iran off the map like his denitite controller REQUIRE of him, because their god (satan) requires it of them.
