CLEVELAND — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is already focused on picking people for his future Cabinet.
A day before accepting his party’s nomination and completing an astonishing political rise that has taken him to the heights of the Republican Party’s power, Trump met with his inner circle at the Cleveland Westin to discuss his possible transition.
Eric Trump told The Hill that his father is determined to put together a Cabinet that can help him turn around the country. He suggested his father would look to the private sector to find effective leadership for government.
“You have to have the best people, and you have to put those people in charge, and those people have to be the best at what they do, and that’s going to be my father’s message,” Trump said.
“If we’re going to have the biggest deals in the world, which are trade deals, why not have the best guys negotiate this? Why not have the Carl Icahns or the top guys of Wall Street?” he added. “It’s why they’re worth millions and billions of dollars. It’s because they’re tough and they’re shrewd.”
Donald Trump recently floated former Goldman Sachs executive Steve Mnuchin as a possible choice to head the Treasury Department, a development first reported by Fortune. Mnuchin serves as the national finance chairman of his campaign.
Icahn, one of the nation’s savviest investors, said last year he was not interested in heading Treasury.
“You’ll probably see a lot of people who are outside traditional Washington, D.C.,” Eric Trump added. “The people who are in there right now haven’t exactly done this country wonders.”

Exactly!
I was just being a little sensitive about the evolution of the EPA being blamed on Nixon is all.
While at the same time they can get a taste of what Middle America has experienced in the past 20+ years.
☺☺
Alabama’s gov. is a Republican. But Christie has my confidence as a fed. prosecutor.
Domestically Nixon behaved a lot like LBJ, and a number of agencies that vex us today were his doing.
In some cases, yes, but with a definite ramp-down plan and date of disassembly.

What’s the difference, I really don’t know I thought they were the same .
How about he wins the election first before picking the staff & measuring for the drapes
What about the czars? Will Trump keep them?
Aye!
She's good at downsizing, I think we can all agree on that.
What has to ramp up first is the economy. There must be jobs.
I’ve been saying for months that Newt’s skills are too valuable and multi-faceted to be a mere VP, but instead Newt should be Trump’s Senior Advisor or Chief of Staff.
If those departments really have to go, and I mean really have to go, Trump is going to see that, and he is going to make a Herculean effort to kill them on his watch.
He’s not going to entrust anything that important to anyone else.
Wasn’the referring to cabinet positions, just adding that the alphabet agencies must be reigned in or eliminated. They are the real threat to our liberty.
Yup.
Homeland needs to vanish along with Energy, Education, EPA, and a few others.
Yup. Ted will also be responsible for the urinal cakes and mopping up the drips since he is one.
