The Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calls himself a GOAT and insists his selection by President Trump relied on pure merit rather than sexual preference or green eyes. He notes that money management operates with a scorecard, unlike sales or trading where subjectivity takes over. This approach helped build the team Trump values so much. During the chat, Bessent recalled Trump joking that he breaks Melania's friends' hearts because they see him on TV and want an introduction, forcing them to break the news about his sexuality. The interviewer brought up how Bessent got into the Naval Academy but skipped it due to being gay, yet Bessent says that never held him back. He even mused that maybe Yale would have been better for some people instead of other Ivies. His record shows stone-cold ruthlessness, especially regarding Iran.
