Mr. Donald Trump has spoken out again.

Trump's comments came after U.S. stock and Treasury prices rose on Monday as traders cheered the new president's choice of Bessant as Treasury secretary, betting the hedge fund manager would bring a Wall Street mindset to the position.

While Bessant has at times suggested Trump was hinting at a maximum-growth negotiating strategy, he said in a Nov. 15 column for Fox News that he strongly supports a trade tax.

Traders overestimated the impact of Bessant's appointment, and Trump ultimately has the ultimate power to influence the U.S. fiscal situation even as he tries to address the deficit. It's going to be a turbulent four years for global assets."

It's almost as if Trump wanted to remind the market who's in control, especially after nominating Scott Bessant as Treasury secretary, who was expected to temper Trump's aggressive tone
