From what I understand, DT is a one man economist in the White House. Amid all the wranglings, there is one person who seems to talk sense into him, and that's Scott Bessent.
I find it really weird that the grown-up in the room is Bessent - the sort of man the GOP despises. He's gay, he worked for George Soros, but he's not a great fund manager. But you know what? He knows he knows his stuff about geopolitics and economics.
But Bessent has his ear, and he was the one negotiating with China and seemed to say: "DT, stay out of this, please. Both our countries are bleeding, and we have to get this done. Your angry rhetoric ain't going to help", because we seemed to hear little from him about the negotiations.
And although people react quickly with the DJT craziness, it always seems to be Bessent that gets the ship to steady.
And I'm not a Trump voter or a GOP fan either.
