Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans looking to retire aren't concerned about day-to-day markets [View all]

REALLY!!

Who knew that Dump, Peter Navaro, Scott Bessent and lunatic Lutnick
could cause this much suffering on TOP of all that Muskrat has done!

Even Eloon has turned against them! His portfolio is not doing to well..

According to Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC Bessent wants out.

She used to work for Deutsche Bank and has insider contacts.

But along the way he's such a simpering ass. Does he think we're
that stupid? He's almost as bad as Lutnick.
