Nothing says 'Drain the Swamp!' like Trump's Treasury pick: Former Goldman Sachs exec Steven Mnuchin

Working class champion Steven Mnuchin.

Consider the “swamp” DRAINED!

Steven Mnuchin, a hedge fund manager and former Goldman Sachs executive, is President-elect Donald Trump's choice for Treasury secretary, the New York Times and CBS News reported Tuesday. [...]

A graduate of Yale University, Mnuchin worked for 17 years at Goldman Sachs, the powerful Wall Street investment bank targeted by Trump during the campaign. He left in 2002 to start Dune Capital Management, a hedge fund. He has also invested in the entertainment industry and housing.

At Treasury, Mnuchin would oversee Trump's economic policies, including proposed tax cuts, a giant infrastructure spending plan and sanctions against nations around the world, including Cuba and Iran, which Trump has targeted for criticism in recent days.

Trump supporters should be over the moon—a guy with Goldman Sachs plus hedge fund pedigree will be looking out for the needs of the working man! Wait, what’s that, New York Times?

Mr. Trump, in a campaign ad intended as a closing argument, portrayed the chief executive of Goldman Sachs as the personification of a global elite that the ad said had “robbed our working class.”

Huh, who woulda ever thunk Trump would leave a trail of post-election broken promises? Perhaps all those small business owners he never paid for their work had some idea. Just guessing Breitbart never interviewed them.
