How can someone who has sold his soul to Trump be in a position of trust in the future. This guy is out of his mind.

You say you don’t want to get painted in the corner, siding with Trump, you are in it and have paint all over you. Own it.

Sorry, but Bessent has demonstrated absolutely zero moral clarity and an absolute detachment from reality while working for Trump. Honestly, if Rogoff can't see how ridiculous it would be for Bessent continue under a democratic administration, then I have no reason to listen to anything else he says. This guy is part of the problem.

Kenneth Rogoff saying that Cabinet or Administration employees must go along with El Presidente's views on Tariff, Greenland and 2020 Election is not "public service". It's servicing the dictator.

Trump is on another level on corruption. If you can’t accept that, I find it hard to listen
