Trump to Appoint Former Goldman Sachs Partner Steven Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary

[scraps]

President-elect Donald Trump will nominate former Goldman Sachs Partner Steven Mnuchin as the Treasury Secretary in his administration.
Mnuchin served as Trump’s campaign finance chairman early in his presidential campaign and is widely considered to be a Trump loyalist.

After beginning his career at Goldman Sachs in the 1980s, Mnuchin became a partner there before forming his own hedge fund with former Goldman Sachs colleagues in 2004, according to the Wall Street Journal. He also partnered briefly with liberal financier George Soros.

He later financed Hollywood films such as James Cameron’s Avatar, American Sniper, Gravity, Suicide Squad, Avatar, and Life of Pi.

During the presidential campaign, then-Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon questioned Trump in a Sirius/XM Patriot interview whether he was “selling out to Wall Street” by hiring a former Goldman Sachs partner to his campaign.

“Well, I needed somebody smart, and he’s very smart, as you know,” Trump replied, explaining why he decided to hire him. “He’s done some amazing deals. I actually did a deal with him in Hawaii; I built a hotel with him in Hawaii. He’s great. He’s a good guy. He’s a solid guy, as you know. And you know, the family is a wonderful family.”

I don't have the warm-fuzzies over this one. Trump does need a true money-man who knows the ins and outs of capitalism, I just pray that Munchin can be beholden to Trump's vision,

I guess. I'm not crazy about it either.

 

[DBS1970]

I'm not best pleased either. but you do need someone who knows the banks and finance for that spot. My question is when is the last time this guy actually worked for Goldman Sachs?

Oh there's a lot of swamp draining going on amongst the Democrats. How's the market doing post-election? Did you notice jobs are staying here and pay attention they will be coming back soon too.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I think draining the swamp referred more to the bureaucracy than Secreteries of different departments.

Who do you want, some homeless beggar off the street?

He's not a government guy, he's been Trump's campaign finance guy from the start.

 

[Spike]

It was a preemptive shot, I thought Tibs might come back for this
