President-elect Donald Trump has made a flurry of new appointments to his administration at the end of this week, and for now I want to focus on two of them for this edition of SWAMP WATCH:
The New Treasury Secretary is Billionaire gay man Scott Bessent, and the New Surgeon General is Fox News TV doctor Janette Nesheiwat, a champion of the Trump COVID-19 shots who stated during COVID that “vaccine hesitancy” to the Trump COVID-19 shots was a “global threat” to distribute more COVID-19 vaccines.

The Billionaire Wall Street Fund Manager Scott Bessent is getting praises from Wall Street and even the Corporate Media as the new Treasury Secretary.
The LGBTQ+ community is also praising this appointment as the “first out member of the LGBTQ+ community to be Treasury secretary and one of only a few to ever hold a Cabinet or Cabinet-level position.”
Trump nominates investment manager Scott Bessent, a gay man, as Treasury secretary
Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent, a billionaire investment manager who is gay, as secretary of the Treasury.
Bessent, if confirmed by the U.S. Senate, would be the first out member of the LGBTQ+ community to be Treasury secretary and one of only a few to ever hold a Cabinet or Cabinet-level position.
Bessent, 62, is the founder of Key Square Capital Management, a hedge fund. His background may upset some of the MAGA crowd, however.
From 2011 to 2015, before starting Key Square, he was chief investment officer at Soros Fund Management, a hedge fund founded by George Soros, and Bessent had worked for Soros’s firm at various times since 1991.
Soros is a major donor to Democrats and a bête noire of the far right.
But “Trump liked [Bessent’s] billionaire bona fides and the fact that he converted to the MAGA movement after working for Soros,” CNN reports.
Bessent donated to Trump’s presidential campaign and advised him on economic policy. He has contributed to some other Republican politicians and is a longtime friend of Vice President-elect JD Vance, but he also has donated to Democrats, including Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. He hosted a fundraising event for Gore’s presidential campaign in 2000. (Full article.)
Bessent had been the favorite for this position in Trump’s new administration since the election, but Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., lobbied strong against him.
