Taking him at face value that he can’t sell the illiquid assets easily, that says something interesting about the push for private market assets in 401ks

Oh-oh. Time to fire the Ethicist.
I'm actually surprised to learn that we have an Ethics Agency at this point. I would have thought that that would be among the first to go.
-
Is this a joke?
-
There’s still an ethics agency? The leader is fixing to be fired!
-
Name a single member of trumpworld,male or female,who is honourable. Trump Anyone named Trump Anyone sleeping with a Trump Anyone working for a Trump Anyone remotely connected to a Trump Is under criminal investigation Been indicted Been tried Is currently incarcerated Or has recently been released
-
Yeah...sure...🙄
-
Every person in the Trump administration and in the Republican Congress is taking advantage of and cheating to make money. We’re way past the conflict of interest and into pure criminal graft. And nobody cares.
-
Why should he? Trump hasn’t. Have they called him out?
-
Oh really? They're worried about his conflicts of interest but not the president? Give me a freaking break, U.S. Ethics Agency. Your hypocrisy is showing.
-
What do you think Scott Bessent will do when SCOTUS overturns same-sex marriage?
-
Oh, ethics, shmethics - they're not worried about no stinking ethics..
-
Ethics? Is anyone worried about ethics in the Trump regime ? Ha
-
As if anyone in the Trump/GOP has the slightest concern about ethics. Especially not the Grifter in Chief.
-
Who could have ever forseen an issue of ethics arising in this administration?
-
The real travesty is that he gets to avoid all capital gains taxes on all those divestitures…and got to convert it to index funds and US treasuries in a “blind trust”…that alone is a scandal of our system!
-
I have a feeling that the ethics agency is going to "go through some things."
-
Like he or anyone in government GAF about conflicts of interest…
-
And what will be done about it?
Not. A. Damn. Thing.
-
Ethics are for little people, not large corporations and right wing governments.
-
Drop in the bucket in an ocean of conflicts and corruption.
-
Bessent, Trump, Lutnik, and others in the administration are using the U.S. economy to enrich themselves. It’s so obvious.
-
Perfect photo choice. Nicely highlights how many fu**s he likely gives.
-
Why would anyone even care anymore- FOTUS doesn’t care, why should anyone in his cabinet?
-
There are still ethics?
-
Concerns you say? Better check with Susan Collins first
-
Ethics? What’s ethics?
-
I would pretty much assume that everyone in Trump's regime has conflicts of interest.
There has never been a regime as corrupt as this one.
Just one big happy Mob Family.
-
We still have an ethics agency?
-
Just wait. Trump will fire the people in that department and replace them with sycophants. “Ethics smethics!”
-
LOL. Ethics and Bessent in the same sentence 😂
-
Ethics! That’s funny
-
This is positively quaint.
-
We still have an Ethics Agency? That seems like an oversight.
-
He knows he can do whatever he wants. They will all receive pardons for anything and everything.
-
Warning him won’t fucking work.
-
America has no ethics anymore, so what will be done about this? Nothing
-
Note to self... We're going to need rotating shifts for the firing squads
-
Okay for me but not for thee!
-
Thank God concerns have been raised. 😐
-
Bessent is going to get his grifting in as well.
-
Ethics? I think we are WAAAYY past ethics and conflicts of interest being any concern to the Worst Wing.
-
I'm sure the Senate GOP will send a sternly worded letter to Bessent--
-
And nothing will happen. They’re all pigs at the trough who won’t let anything stand in the way of enriching themselves.
-
They. Don't. Care.
-
Yeah, OK. Whose boss has made $3.5B since January 20th?
-
The Bloomberg treatment of Bessent was shamefully fawning this morning.
-
Queue DOGE showing up at the US Ethics Agency
-
this is a joke right?
