But does he own any Bitcoin like Lutnik does?

[@LisaJung-x8e]

Thanks for the forecast! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Absolutely not. Couldn't be more swamp if you tried.

[@estebanperez4171]

So too qualified? Pretty much everyone in Trumps cabinet has been plugged into mainstream politics or business for years lol. You think Matt Gaetz, the son of a millionaire or Elon are outsiders? 🤣

[@mrs.e_green]

Interesting pick......

People can just buy positions in cabinets…

Of Bessent: "he doesn't suffer fools"
Also Bessent: *{possibly about to be working for and advising the very first dictator of the United States and class-A fool, Donald U. Rump (DUR)}*

[@WestOfEarth]

I caught that too...very odd

[@ssuwandi3240]

His industrial policy vision sounds unapologetic which is great

[@juanmoy4780]

Anyone is better than that girl in the current position. I don’t know this Scott Bessent but I trust President Trump’s pick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
