On this episode of The Wrants Show, co-host John Clark dives into the contradictions of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign promises. If Trump vowed to “drain the swamp,” why did he nominate Scott Bessent, a former executive from George Soros’s hedge fund empire, as Treasury secretary? We explore Bessent’s controversial history, his role in Soros’s legendary billion-dollar bet against the British pound, and the implications of billionaires from rival political camps shaping policy. What does this reveal about Trump’s populist rhetoric versus his actual choices?
