The additional (unwanted) attention on Powell has given some credence to the notion that we could see his early departure and an early nomination from Trump. Rumors suggest Trump’s first draft pick is none other than Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who Trump says is doing “a fantastic job.” Now one may ask in this situation, who would replace Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary and what would that process look like? Well worry not! According to a recent Bloomberg article, Trump is proposing that Bessent duplicate himself via mitosis and hold both seats at once.
