Trump is reportedly reconsidering his Treasury Secretary picks because a leading candidate has made him “nervous.”

When trying to get a contract to work for Donald Trump, there seems to be a fine line between showing off the undying loyalty he demands and put your head so far up his ass that it started to make him uncomfortable. And that’s the lesson learned by Cantor Fitzgerald CEO and soon-to-be Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick just learned.

New York Times report that Trump “had second thoughts” about two previous candidates being considered for Treasury Secretary. One of those people is Scott Bessent, a former employee of George Soros who founded the investment firm Key Square Capital Management. The other is Lutnick, who is running Trump’s second-term transition team, and “has recently made Mr. Trump nervous.” According to the source, Trump has “privately expressed frustration that Mr. Lutnick has hung around him too much and that he has manipulated the transition process for his own purposes.” If that story sounds familiar, it probably is because it is report Last year’s gubernatorial candidate failed Kari Lake essentially moved to Mar-a-Lago in an attempt to become Trump’s Vice President, only for Trump to become more and more “less enthusiastic” about her, having decided that she was a “hound outstanding”. (At the time, a spokesperson for Lake insisted the conversation around Trump that allegedly upset her was nothing more than “Team DeSantis’ pathetic efforts” to create drama.)

Either way, with Lutnick seemingly out of the picture, Trump is reportedly now considering the former Federal Reserve governor. Kevin Warsh and Wall Street billionaires Marc Rowan for top jobs. (Bessent is said to still be under consideration.) Theo time, Trump wants someone “big” for the role, whatever that means, and unsurprisingly “tends to value wealth and status on Wall Street.” According to the report, he “made it clear to those close to him that he was impressed with Mr. Rowan, the chief executive officer and co-founder of Apollo Global Management,” and “commented that Mr. Warsh was smart and handsome,” the latter said. is clearly extremely important when it comes to running the finances of the federal government. (During his first term, Trump decision that he cannot be reappointed Janet Yellen chair of the Federal Reserve because she’s not tall enough.)

Trump reportedly wants a Treasury Secretary who will take charge of his economic policies, like slap comprehensive tariffs on all foreign goods entering the country, which experts warning can have devastating consequences and at a minimum will cost lives much more expensive for average families. Like time noted, “among the options he is considering, Mr. Lutnick has been particularly vocal in his support of tariffs.” Lutnick also appears to be the only Treasury candidate who has gone public hug Robert F. Kennedy Jr.anti-vaccine stance and the thoroughly debunked claim that vaccines cause autism.
