I thought Icahn had accepted Trump’s offer to be Treasury secretary back in August.

Statements as stupidly irrational as that one are a window into the twisted thinking of Trump haters.

Trump said he would like someone like Icahn in Treasury and Icahn jokingly said no at first (said he didn’t get up early enough) and then jokingly accepted after the first debate IIRC.

Thanks, I kind of wondered if that was real. Icahn is 79.

Icahn does not have the most savory background in the national and international world of business, plus he's almost 80 years old.

He's a hedge fund manager himself.

Read his Wiki or other bio site for yourself. I'm a Trump supporter, but he can do better than to align himself so closely with the likes of Icahn.

Looks like a full-blown turnaround artist may be coming to town. Great!! From personal experience, I'll say the first thing they do is MASS FIRINGS, exactly what's needed. I don't care about touchy-feeely "relating to" Trump, I care about what he'll do.

“Shortly after Trump launched his campaign, the candidate appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Another poke in the eye of Fox News.

It doesn’t necessarily follow that Icahn supported him for the Presidency more than someone else.
