Betrayal of Trump's anti-Washington, anti-Wall Street base has been swift

Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. partner Steven Mnuchin has been recommended by Donald Trump’s transition team to serve as Treasury secretary, according to two people familiar with the process, and the choice is awaiting the president-elect’s final decision.

Mnuchin, the campaign’s national finance chairman, has been considered the leading candidate for the job. Trump has displayed a pattern of loyalty to his closest campaign allies in early administration selections, and Mnuchin, 53, had signed on at a time when many from Wall Street stayed away.

Some top quality swamp draining going on here.

Anyone who believed anything different would happen is an idiot.


But hey, the Donald is bringing 'intellegent' outsiders like Ben Carson to his cabinet.

@Wells had a great statement on this. I think it went something along the lines of 'Meet the new swamp, same as the old swamp.'

Nahhhh....not 100% true...The old swamp had some nice fishermen/women in it. Who where slowly learning stuff. This new swamp is a 1920 white pointy had swamp.

I just love it, All the anti-Washington, anti-Wall Street bullshit is already proven to be a lie and hes not officially in office yet.

Shit this good has to be fatting.

Was "Make the Swamp Great Again" already taken? Would be a bit on the nose to see that on a camo cap.

Hey now, the majority of America voted him in- oh.

Question: Can you love money and be anti Wall-street at the same time...? Not necessarily related to Trump, just something I pondered...

Donald Trump cons everyday Americans and lies his way to further heights of power, then screws them over as soon as he doesn't need them anymore? It's almost like nobody paid attention to the story of Atlantic City.

Also interesting how his cabinet is comprised of Washington insiders, Wall Street moguls, and at least one out white supremacist. It's going to be an interesting four years watching the economy tank again thanks to all the regressive policies they're going to railroad through without any forethought beyond lining their buddies' pockets.

So these are candidates brought to him by other people that he has not actually confirmed yet?

Ok?

Oh look, another article claiming to cite the next cabinet position that hasn't been announced. The last one (McMahon for Commerce) said the person had not even been contacted by the Trump team. I wonder how legit this one will be?

Literally ZERO positions have been filled, yet the press is awash with stories about them. Interesting.

What would you suggest as an alternative?

Just a gross mob vote so that only the coastal states have a say?

Anything that wins for the left. Until it goes the other way, then they will want the old way back.

No. They are not lol. Some of them are. Some of them have been appointed by him.

That any worse than closed door "representatives" that go against the will of the people?

So easy to say. It's never happened to you guys yet.

Not true. Electoral college has always been a pretty contested idea. It makes each vote worth different amounts based on location, which goes counter to the idea of voting for the candidate. It also allows the electoral official to literally ignore the outcome of the vote and vote as they wish (Doesn't happen much at all, but it is possible).

Popular vote means jack shit. Why we even vote at all when it means nothing is still stupid

[GennGreymane]

Its been pretty lulzy
