President-elect Donald Trump is expected to select Wilbur Ross Jr. to head the Commerce Department, said two people familiar with the deliberations, a decision that would put a billionaire investor known for buying up failed companies in charge of the agency tasked with cultivating economic growth.

You remember Wilbur, don’cha? He owned Mr. Ed.
Doesn’t sound Jewish, although he did work for Rothschild, Inc. for 24 years.
Has worked with failing steel, coal etc companies. Should be a leader in bringing jobs back from the base up!
From what I’ve read an excellent choice
He’s a fairly frequent guest on Lou Dobbs. Supposedly a corporate turnaround expert.
No, Mark is Expected to Be Named Commerce Secretary by Donald Trump. But I’ll have to think about it.
That too!
Worth $2.9B, amazing who turns up when you look for quality instead of someone who wants the job or just operate on a political basis.
Ya, but Mr. Ed never talked about it, of course, of course.
This is not acceptable. Trump is appointing a successful businessman to a position dealing with commerce! Unless he has a degree in transgender studies, and a thesis outlining the greatness of diversity, he’s not qualified. /s
Nobody names their kid Wilbur anymore.
Very smart.
I wouldn’t expect him to stay for more than 2 years.
Billionaires running Commerce and Education and of course as president. Still to see who gets Treasury.
He is on Fox Business very frequently and always seems common sensical.
This certainly looks like an era in which there will be a lot of rich volunteers, who could have gotten richer doing something else, but have humbled themselves from that (like Donald has).
... their fortunes and their sacred honor ...
But the lefties are going to be spitting bullets, because they think it’s a class war in which the moneyed class conspires to impoverish the non-moneyed classes.
This is COMPLETELY! nonintuitive to them. COMPLETELY!
Only a Donald Trump could have the brass ones to do it. Symbolism that sops to lefties? No room for it. No room.
America is going to win, win, win, win, and then win some more, at least on an earthly scale. I pray it does on a heavenly scale too, along side of it.
“Nobody names their kid Wilbur anymore.”
I was just thinking about how unusual that name is for someone in this day and age. I’ll bet he was named after a grandfather.
“Nobody names their kid Wilbur anymore.”
Born in 1937, will be 80 years old next week. Named after his father.
(Married to Betsy McCaughey, 1995-98.)
He was named in 1937.
