I did a little research. Bessent has a history of losing in real estate deals.
In 2007, Bessent bought a house in Bedford Hills, New York for $11.3 million. He sold it in 2011 for $7.1 million, losing at least $4.2 million. In 2007, Bessent purchased a unit at One Sutton Place South that formerly belonged to a sister of John F. Kennedy, for $12 million; he sold it, at a loss, for $9.5 million in 2009.He took a loss on his unit at 720 Park Avenue, buying it for $19.25 million in 2017 and selling it for $15 million in 2021.
IMHO this makes him emminently qualified to take us into bankruptcy.
Excellent research and brilliant comment. I found on line a podcast by one of the spokes persons for the Brix alliance -- they were laughing at Bessent's attempts to "negotiate" absolutely anything.
Yes.

So Trump hired a qualified loser, for once. The guy is disgusting
