Summary
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle reported Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may seek to exit the Trump administration after becoming the face of Trump’s sweeping tariff rollout, which triggered a market plunge.
Bessent, a wealthy hedge fund veteran, reportedly opposes Trump’s “absurd tariff math” and has lost influence in the inner circle.
While Bessent urged restraint, China retaliated with a 34% tariff, worsening the selloff.
Ruhle noted investor support for the tariffs is virtually nonexistent, calling the economic strategy damaging and politically driven.

It’s been like 2 days 😭
Look at the bright side. It’s only 577 days until the midterm elections when we can try and do something to change things in D.C.
