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.”

Naw. The ‘60s get all the publicity, but it was the ‘70s that saw all these agencies being created to shut up the hippies.
After 5 years give him a brush (Monty Python)
Goldman Sachs?
Are these the New Good Guys?
Love your list. It is spot on.
Is there some clause of the Constitution that Treasury Secretaries have to have a connection to Goldman Sachs? They’ve done such a bang-up job lately, I think someone who has never worked for them would be a good pick.
>>> A consultant who has experience in calling in mass numbers of people and saying “Blahblahblah, pack your desks and get out!”
That consultant should be sent to commune with her people... How about Ambassador to India?
>>> Laura Inghram or Jeanine Piro for Press Secetary!!
You forgot one: Ann Coulter.
Yeah once they loose those cushy corrupt jobs they will be begging Trump to bring back the good ol factories so they can actually earn a check. No moe Gub-mint checks, vacations, etc.
Maybe Trump can appoint Cabinet members to oversee the orderly shut down & transition of their own department.
Very Nice! Do it Trump!!
ALL the PC LBGT flakes Brass in the Military for one.
Medicare, Medicaid, DOD waste and fraud, EPA killing jobs with stupid regs to name a few.
Audit every department! ASAP.
Love to see Lt Col Allen West as head of Dept. of Defense or Sec. of State.
Remove all junk food from the food stamp program.
Suggest Alabama’s Chief Justice Roy Moore for a USSC Justice.
Maybe Newt should be a Czar. I would still like him as white House Manager. Christie would be great as Attorney General—or Homeland security. Gen. Flynn Sec. of Defense, State? Sessions? I would like his whole cabinet flushed out by day one—Trumps first 100 days MUST be earth shattering.
Gotta break off here and go oil the rack. Before I'm through Robert Reich is gonna be seven feet tall...
And enumerating it now would put Hillary in a box. It would be a good chess move.
Have him clean the bathrooms with his own toothbrush!!
