The official GOP biography of Trump's pick for Treasury secretary completely leaves out his 17 years

...at Goldman Sachs.

Source: Business Insider

The Republican party wants you to get to know President-elect Donald Trump's new nominee for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, but not everything about him.

The official "Meet Steven Mnuchin" biography on the Republican party's website leaves out the fact that Mnuchin worked at Goldman Sachs for 17 years.

Here's the key passage from the GOP website:

"President-elect Trump will nominate Steven Mnuchin to serve as the next Secretary of the Treasury and the principal economic advisor. Mr. Mnuchin has decades of experience with financial and monetary matters. His experience includes serving as finance director of President-elect Trump’s campaign, Former CEO of Dune Capital Management, and co-founder of RatPac-Dune Entertainment which produced films such as Avatar, American Sniper, and X-Men."


While it does cite "experience with financial and monetary matters," the biography leaves out the fact that Mnuchin worked at a bank which Trump railed against during the campaign.

but in any event it certainly would be a question to raise in an interview.

in this case it's not the actual job application, and it's common knowledge he worked at gs.

they're obviously trying to hide the embarrassing details, and of course it will work on their brainwashed supporters.
