Senate Confirms Soros Man Bessent as Treasury Secretary

The Senate confirmed Scott Bessent — George Soros’ former top investor and current Council on Foreign Relations member — as Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary. Bessent breezed through the confirmation process Monday as the Senate approved him in a bipartisan 68-29 vote, with 15 Democrats voting yea and zero Republicans nay.

As a key economic policy advisor and fundraiser for the Trump campaign, Bessent advocated for lower taxes, reduced spending, slashing regulations, and using tariffs in trade negotiations, exactly what he is tasked with accomplishing in his new position. The treasury secretary is the president’s economic policy advisor and manages the public debt, which stands at an unprecedented $36 trillion and counting.

Bessent’s Background
The 62-year-old homosexual is the founder and CEO of global macro investment firm Key Square Group, which he has said he would wind down if confirmed as treasury secretary. Macro investing leverages geopolitical and macroeconomic information to guide strategy. When Trump nominated him, Elon Musk publicly disapproved, calling him a “business-as-usual” choice.

Bessent is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank created in the early 20th century to churn out policy advisors who push the gradual creation of a one-world government. TNA has reported on the nefariousness of this organization for decades, including in the June 7, 2021, issue. Bessent worked as globalist George Soros’ top money manager, his chief investment officer, from 2011 to 2015. He joined Soros Fund Management in 1991, and is credited as being one of the driving forces behind the firm’s bet that the British pound would collapse. Other versions of the story say Soros essentially “broke the Bank of England” by shorting the pound. Those who favor Bessent, including Wall Street, see him as a stabilizing force who understands markets and will preserve the status quo.

I hope Trump knows what he's doing placing anyone with connections to Soros

I think that this time around Trump knows exactly what he's doing with the people he's appointing. Bessent sounds like he's exactly whom Trump needs in that position. His stand on lowering taxes, reducing spending, slashing regulations, and the wise use of tariffs lines up perfectly with the President's business plan for America in order to increase wealth among the lower and middle income groups (ie: most of us), lower prices, boost manufacturing, create a lot of new jobs ... all to take our economy to a whole new level.

All we can do is hope and do as we are told in The Word of God

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way
1 Timothy 2:1-2

Personally I don't put too much confidence in a flawed human leader, even if he looks to make my country wealthy, more powerful, and more secure, because it won't last.
God has this President as our leader for His purpose and will allow him to lead for the good or for the bad, because the last days prophecies tell us the nearer to Jesus coming, the more we can expect things to worsen in every way, even if there's a moment of pause where everything looks good. But we should expect it's only going to get worse, from the hearts of man to the increasing groaning of Creation. Because Jesus has to come and clean up all of the ungodliness and take up His rightful position as leader over the world.

I keep in mind God telling us to not put our trust in Princes nor in the sons of man. Princes are under the category of leaders.

"Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help."
Psalm 146:3

"It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Romans 9:16-17

I will pray and we should pray hope that whatever our President does is for the good, and if anything is not for the good, I won't let it discourage me because The Bible tells us everything will get worse the closer we are to The Coming of our King Jesus.
That should be our encouragement no matter how bad it gets. We pray and hope for good to come from our leader as we should, but we can't expect only good things to come from our leaders no matter who they are because our only True Hope is in Jesus.
I rejoice in seeing some of the good things coming out of this Administration and I pray it continues that way but I won't set myself up for disappointment should we see anything not good coming from it because Jesus has told us ahead of time what to expect and not be caught off guard when it isn't good.

I don't think Trump is saved. But he does mention God at times.
The one who gave him spiritual influence was Paula White and she doesn't have the gospel right from her teachings which is fixated on the Prosperity gospel.
I have prayed for Trump's salvation, and for God to have a True believer influence him and his decisions and that he leads according to The Word of God and not according to a human desire for power and wealth that people like Paula White believes is from God, in the prosperity gospel.

I certainly had no intention in making this such a long comment but I felt I needed to say these things.

Please don't think that I have an anti Trump position because it's not like that at all.
I don't have a judgemental view about Trump, and I am supportive of some of his agenda because it appears to be for the good and God bless him for the good he's doing to right some of the wrong the previous Administration did.

But I keep in mind that he's a flawed human with sinful inclinations just like any human, and I pray that whatever he has planned for our good is just that, for good.

But I won't be disappointed nor surprised if anything turns into bad. That's always a probability.

I set my eyes on heavenly things and not on earthly things because my citizenship is in Heaven and I know Only Jesus is going to bring all things New and for the Real Good for All peoples and nations.
While we wait for Jesus, we should keep praying for President Trump and that however God uses him or permits him to do in the good, but if there's bad that comes out of him, we remain grounded in our faith and Hope that can Only come from Jesus and continue to press on towards our eternity in glory.

"And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."
Daniel 2:44

"But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived"
2 Timothy 3:13

20 "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body."
Romans 8:20-23

"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."
Colossians 3:2

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer?

I've read some comments from political analysts saying that what Trump is doing in having questionable people in cabinet positions is that Trump ran his campaign not only in reversing the damage Biden did but he also focused on "unity", and his view of unity in this respect was to bring common ground between both sides of the isle so that his agenda would be successful.
The problem is while some Democrats have seemed to divert towards Trump in support of his agenda, many of those Democrats have not made public statements that they have changed in their Liberal mindset.
They still believe what they believe, but one commentator said it was when the Democrats saw how awful Harris was doing in the polls with disfavor from voters, it was like the Democrats just decided "if you can't beat em join em". And if you noticed only weeks before the election there was a huge swing in position and a lot of Democrats and even Liberal Media began to show support for the "Hitler" they despised and Trump started to lead in the election with a huge wave in support for his election for President.
So, how does it turn out?
Trump may get much of his agenda go through with bipartisan support, but I have no doubt that the left is on "simmer", just waiting for Trump to leave office and resume their leftist agenda which lines up with the globalists agenda.
And if for any reason somehow something were to happen where Trump isn't going to be able to finish his term, who knows what will come out of whoever sits in the Oval office after that.
I'm pleased with a lot of what Trump is doing. But I also have my eyes wide open and hold on to discernment because I don't know a person's heart, only God does and it's God Who I have to Trust to shed light if anything is being hidden that we don't know about. Nothing can be hidden from God.
