Trump's Treasury pick Scott Bessent faces backlash from far-right figure Nick Fuentes

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Scott Bessent, a hedge fund executive, to lead the Treasury Department. This selection has drawn criticism from far-right figure Nick Fuentes, who expressed his discontent on social media. Fuentes criticized Bessent for his past work with George Soros and used derogatory language in his comments. He concluded that the "swamp remains undefeated," reflecting his dissatisfaction with the appointment. If confirmed, Bessent would be the first openly gay Treasury Secretary and one of the wealthiest in recent history. Trump praised Bessent as a leading investor and supporter of his economic policies.
