Trump appoints Wall Street shark he attacked as "robbing our working-class" in campaign-ad

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/11/29/1605348/-Trump-reportedly-taps-former-Goldman-Sachs-exec-Steven-Mnuchin-to-Drain-the-Swamp

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.

...

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.”

Is the swamp drained yet?

He could literally do anything, and they would claim it was a genius move.

He was a show-off and not the brightest. But he sincerely tried to appoint the best people to his cabinet. He hired the smartest guy on Earth AND put him in charge of solving their biggest problems!!!

Compare that President Trump hiring conspiracy-theory-dwellers, racists and Wall Street fat-cats.

We really need to start liberal media...radio, TV etc because any of our candidates/ elected will be demonized by the other side.
