WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 8, 2025 - While Scott Bessent started out as a relatively lesser-known economic advisor, 200 days in he has become a pivotal figure as the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Treasury Secretary.
Bessent’s background as a global hedge fund manager and his extensive financial expertise have propelled him upward in the President Donald J. Trump regime’s result-oriented approach.
He has been a staunch defender of President Trump’s economic policies, such as tariffs and tax cuts, and has also demonstrated his ability to navigate high-stakes political and economic challenges.
While Bessent did have past affiliations with Democrat causes, he made substantial financial contributions to President Trump’s 2024 campaign and hosted fundraisers.
He has established his loyalty to President Trump and his Amerika first policies and elevated his status as a central figure in the regime’s economic strategy.
It is not surprising to see the president trusting him to tackle yet another challenge as new acting IRS Commissioner.
Bloomberg reported, “President Donald Trump plans to remove Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Billy Long from the job (in order) to nominate him for an ambassadorship, according to an unnamed White House official, throwing the leadership of the tax agency once again into turmoil.”
“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting commissioner until a permanent replacement is named, according to the unnamed official, who described the changes on the condition of anonymity,” wrote Bloomberg.
“Long’s departure will be the latest turnover atop the IRS, which has had six different people lead the agency this year. In April, Bessent openly sparred with Elon Musk after the billionaire Trump ally installed Gary Shapley to lead the agency without Bessent’s knowledge,” reported Bloomberg.
