Important interview with #privileged #treasurysec #bessent on #BloombergTV
#federalworkforce #dogees #tusk #ukraine #zelensky

#Protip #media interviews: Never call anyone an “ #averageAmerican”. Nor their kids #average. You have no experience of life outside your bubble of #privilege. Working for the gummint was steady work with steady benefits. Your idea is to make everyone grovel.

And learn to stop smirking on camera. Save it for #SiliconValley @bloomberg

Trump Struggling w. Treasury Pick
newrepublic.com/article/188620

* all pot. candidates are oligarchs
* init. Howard Lutnick; Scott Bessent
* rather than choose Trump added 2 more: Marc Rowan; Kevin Warsh
* then reduced pool to 3 by naming Lutnick to run Commerce Dept

* tariffs; labor shortage due to mass deportations
