Scott Bessent’s Exit Strategy: Trying to Run from the Trump Train

Scott Bessent’s Exit Strategy: Trying to Run from the Trump Train

Oh, here’s a fun one. Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is officially looking for the exit door. Why? Because he's apparently realizing that working for Trump is ruining his reputation in the financial world. You know, that whole “I’m here to defend Trump’s nonsense” thing? Yeah, it’s not working out.

Sources close to Bessent say he’s been sweating bullets, struggling to explain how Trump’s tariffs are supposed to help the economy. Spoiler: He looks like he doesn’t believe a word he’s saying. And now, in true classic style, he’s trying to bail out before his career’s completely shredded.

But here’s the thing: No exit strategy for you, Scott.

You signed up to defend the indefensible, to push the president’s failing policies, and now you want a “clean” exit? Nah. You don’t get to suddenly develop a conscience when you’ve been complicit in hurting the country.

You own it now, Scott.

So, Scott Bessent, welcome to the club. The “Trying to Escape Trump’s Shadow” Club. But guess what? You can’t wipe off the stink of defending bad ideas just by running away.
