Six months ago, Steven Mnuchin became finance chair for the Trump campaign. Having succesfully helped to raise 10s of millions of dollars for the campaign, the former Goldman Sachs partner and Soros Fund management employee is now positioned for something much larger as Donald Trump reportedly told his aides today that he wants Mnuchin to serve as his Treasury Secretary.
Ironically, Trump has often criticized Clinton (and his former competitor Ted Cruz) for their links to the big banks:
"I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They have total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton,” Trump said in one debate.
But as we noted previously, he had no qualms, however, in hiring one of the most prominent Goldman alums to raise money for him.

Take it with a YUGE grain of salt....
This is impossible because Ted Cruz ......
I’ll start criticizing Trump, if necessary, November 9
well....at least it will be fun to watch the talking heads at CNN fumble over the name Mnuchin
I guess this may depend on why he is an ex-employee of Soros.
Looks like a highly qualified guy. What’s the frickin’ problem?

WEASEL OPENING:
“Reportedly” is not an announcement of anything.
And the comments are full of people spouting off about too many “joos”.
Grow up.
If Trump is elected, it will be a daily struggle to keep him on the rails and mindful of why the people chose him.
had zero interest margin loans with no defined repayment due date. Does this fellow have the same?
I agree with you on that, but I also think it will be a very entertaining four years if he’s elected.
“Reportedly told his aids” should be an indicator. Plus, not everyone who ever worked for Goldman and/or Soros is crooked - lots of smart people and he will choose folks for their competence and willingness to follow through with his goals. If any decide to go their own way, they will be told to go their own way -— in another job.
Who knows what goes on in those echelons? But I have two seeming conflicting comments:
1) We’re just going to have to trust Mr. Trump that everything he says/does is directed at making America great again, and
2) Rewind the tape to an Alessio Restani (sp?) interview with BBC where he stated: “Governments don’t rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world”. All the newspapers the next day swore he was joking - including Forbes magazine - but I wouldn’t be so sure.
Crap journalism. There's just a tiny bit of difference between knowing people in an industry, and taking millons of dollars in bribes from people in an industry.
Is there anything BUT crap journalism anymore? Or is journalism now merely the ability to lie in plain sight? Is that what these sh!theads high five each other over their ability to pull off?
Vermin.
Honesty just leaves some people flat!
I have Voodoo Dolls over here too.....
Let’s not forget...Bannon is ex-Goldman also....so....maybe some ex-Goldman folks ain’t so bad after all!
It is one thing to be “used by” Wall Street types; it is all together a different matter to “use” Wall Street types...
Keep that dog on a tight leash Donald!
