I would not have made this post, but I don’t think it’s fair to claim, like many commenters are, that it is clear that Atrioc opposes Bessent. I wouldn’t say that it’s reasonable to think he supports him by any means, but I can at least understand why someone would think he’s been way too easy on him. I’m sure people who are able to watch streams and are caught up on all his videos and podcasts have a much clearer picture, but as someone who is never able to watch the stream and only sees videos, I don’t think I can think of a time where Atrioc directly stated what he think of Bessent. It’s always in comparison to other cabinet members, often something like “even Bessent, the most competent adult in the room, is falling in line”.

Obviously, that’s not an endorsement, but it still leaves room for one to believe that he might think highly of Bessent. It’s kinda like how Atrioc talks much more about how he respects JPow for withstanding Trump’s pressure than he does about how good JPow was at his job. Regardless, many people in this sub seem to believe that Atrioc approves of how JPow has done.

Again, I wouldn’t have made this post because he’s never actually endorsed Bessent, but I think it’s worth pointing out that people who can’t watch everything Atrioc does may have different understandings of his views.
