Here Is Who Donald Trump Wants for Treasury Secretary

Believe it or not, the job may go to a former Clinton donor if Trump is elected. Donald Trump has told prospective donors that, if elected president, he plans to nominate former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin for U.S. Treasury Secretary.

That’s according to Anthony Scaramucci, a high-profile hedge fund manager and Trump fundraiser.

Mnuchin, who is a former donor to Hillary Clinton, spent 17 years with Goldman Sachs, where his father also had been a prominent executive. He later worked with investment groups affiliated with George Soros, including as chairman of controversial mortgage lender OneWest Bank Group (which would later be acquired by CIT Group). He also has spent time as both an art dealer and film producer.

Earlier this year, the 53-year-old Mnuchin joined Donald Trump’s campaign as national finance chairman.

Nothing but unededucated speculation.

That’s what election seasons are for!!! :)

[NRx]

Eh. I’d prefer Dave Ramsey.

[bert]

I prefer Steve Forbes

[Mr. K]

Thomas Sowell
or Walter Williams

Nothing but unededucated speculation.

Hope so. Goldman Sachs has been running Treasury for the last 50 years or more. I hate those people.

[D Rider]

This can’t be true. Globalist Goldman Sachs is for Cruz.

[HomerBohn]

I don’t believe it.

Clearly a complete, rank outsider, with absolutely no links to politicians or the dreaded "establishment." ;-)

I think Trump will ask Larry Kudlow, guests on Larry’s radio show always are ribbing Larry about it and Larry doesn’t want to talk about it when they bring it up.

[Meet the New Boss]

Whoever is Treasury Secretary under Trump is going to be in for a rough ride and had better be tough. I would actually favor the old corporate raider Carl Icahn.

The reason is that once the Trump administration gets off the ground Brooklyn socialist and Fed Chairman Janet Yellen will raise interest rates in order to trigger the bubble crashing down on Trump and blow a massive hole in the Federal budget. That would be to set up an MSM blame game on Trump for the popped bubble and lay the ground for an open socialist in the mold of the idiot-ignoramus Bernie Sanders to follow.

We’re going to need a strong Treasury Secretary out in the US debt issuance market and also to deal with a lying media.

[Yo-Yo]

Uh, isn’t Trump also a former Clinton donor? Who cares as long as Mnuchin is qualified and is the right man for the job.

>>Believe it or not, the job may go to

I may go to ME. But that would be speculation too. They’re doing everything they can to scare the voters off so the Cheap Labor Express candidate can win.

[faucetman]

Agree, Larry Kudlow

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

Someone who called the housing bubble when everyone else was cheer-leading.

Peter Schiff, Nouriel Roubini come to mind.

[huckfillary]

First off, he needs to s**tcan Janet Yellen at the Fed and replace her with someone who’s spent a lifetime calling for the Fed’s demise.

[Bigg Red]

Good point.

[Tallguy]

Peeling Goldman Sachs off the Clinton teat?

[minnesota_bound]

I hope it is speculation.
Goldman Sachs, George Soros are poison to this country.
