Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin took the highly unusual step over the weekend of publicly explaining why he won’t resign.
He responded to Yale classmates who had written an impassioned open letter urging him to quit in protest over what they called (ridiculously over-stating their case) President Trump’s “support of Nazism and white supremacy.” There was no reason for Mnuchin — a busy man and one of the most important economic officials on the planet — to bother replying unless he feels a little defensive.
After Charlottesville, Va., the question of the propriety of serving in the Trump administration gained new salience. Rumors swirled that economic advisor Gary Cohn was on the verge of quitting in disgust, and liberal journalists called for all good men and women to jump ship. (“Every Trump Official with a Conscience Must Resign,” huffed The New Republic.)
This is wrong-headed. It’s much better for the country that as many responsible, talented people serve the Trump administration as possible.
Even if it isn’t easy.
Working for Trump means being willing to put up with the possibility of humiliation of the sort that loyalist Attorney General Jeff Sessions suffered at the president’s hands. It means dancing around his outrageous statements and pretending to work for a more normal president. And it means courting social disapproval.
Among the nation’s elite, Trump is now a walking, talking version of the North Carolina transgender bathroom bill, which caused corporate America to boycott and shame the state into submission. CEOs increasingly don’t want anything to do with Trump. Hollywood and representatives of the arts loathe him. And sports figures are leery.
Trump is as personally radioactive as any president since Richard Nixon during his final descent.

Corporations with CEOs like that faggot at Apple can go ### themselves.
Sure there’s plenty of corporations that make products we use that either support Trump or more wisely just keep their mouths shut and make their product for a profit.
Silly me, that’s what i thought businesses were for.
I would have responded with
“Resign? Whut? LOL. Why? Are you gonna quit your jobs for no reason too”?
These f-tards would like everyone to resign and for the country to have no national security apparatus.
Scotty will be gone soon. Apple sales are starting to decline because you can't just keep revving the same old same old and stay on top.
Translation: he ain't Steve.
But everyone needs to ask him the question: if the death of a woman who came to fight looking for trouble is enough for him to sanctimoniously donate $1 million of Apple cash to the SPLC, how much did he donate when one of her buddies tried to kill Steve Scalise and 4 other people?
The answer: zero
Cause he’s a gay blade left wing America hating POS who can go #### himself.
No wait, he might try.
And yeah, he ain’t Steve.
It would be nice if all the deep state jerks and BO-holdovers would voluntarily resign over their conscious. Save us from draining the swamp ourselves...
YES
Students at Yale? The Privileged at the institution of a slave trader?
