The mystery is that Billy Long was as servile a Trumpy cretin as could be found in all the land, and would immediately jump to follow any directive from King Trump as soon as it dribbled out of his thin lips. So how does he get the shitcan? The fact that they're talking about an ambassador position for him is probably a clue: he was always meant to be replaced by Bessent, but just probably after six months or so, not two months, which is the head scratcher. Something's up with Bessent, seems to me.
