What he means is that he holds a considerable stake in a private equity fund that’ll buy their farms for pennies when they go bankrupt. He’s a farmer of farms.

Someone ask him to define “farmer”. This is the Charleston house he sold to move to Washington:
Note his landscape designer also did the White House rose garden…now parking lot.
He’s so good at treasure handling the deal also included a separate sale of fixtures and selected furnishings for $3 million. Total sale price $21.25 million:
Somebody needs to tell him that just because he bought up a ton of bankrupt farmland on the cheap does not make him a farmer.

All these asshats should come work for a day on a family farm. Be it a grain operation or cattle farm, come find out what work truly is. Doubt they could make it an hour

I can imagine what a soybean farmer would think about his statement. However, i have very little pity for the plight of the soybean farmer currently.

This report seems grossly unfair. The Secretary has a lot in common with Oliver Wendell Douglas, a great American farmer: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Acres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Acres)

What’s wrong with ~~lumberyards~~ soybean farms? I own 2 soybean farms.
I notice you don’t spend a lot of time there.
I’m not really sure where they are…

He makes a better farmer than he did a hedge fund manager, and certainly better than he does a treasury secretary.

All these idiot farmers voted against their own self interests because of the “trans” agenda and their Christian values. I think the hardest thing to do as a parent right now is teaching my kids how to spot bullshit propaganda and how to not fall for it.

I can’t read the article are farmers in MAGA country roasting him?
Many think Trump is being misled by the people around him. When Trump dies there will be no one to protect his inner circle.

Scott Bessent is a very confusing person. Gets in fist fights with other cabinet members, claims to be a farmer worth 600 million, MAGA stooge/ Treasury Secretary and gay dad. Is he just an empty psychopath that puts on whatever face he needs to wear that day?
