U.S. Treasury Secretary Bensons failed to join the military due to his homosexuality, behind which was a controversy involving Musk.

Besent himself stated that he once considered joining the military but was unable to do so due to being gay. Originally, Musk recommended Rutnik as the Secretary of the Treasury, but Trump did not give Musk this favor.

Besent's performance in the investment banking field can be summarized in four words: ambitious but lacking in talent. He became the Secretary of the Treasury only because Besent raised $7 million for Trump in February 2024 (and another round of fundraising in April). Besent bet on Trump, and Trump reciprocated with kindness.

In diplomatic settings, negotiators rarely name names to criticize the other side, but Besent broke this unwritten rule, derogatorily referring to the Chinese trade negotiation representative as "a low-level official" (in fact, a ministerial level), which shows his immaturity and inappropriate behavior.
