2. Mnuchin worked at Goldman Sachs for 17 years. While he was there he ran Goldman's "mortgage-backed bond trading desk"

He is not a current Wall Streeter. He's also crossed swords with Trump which has earned Trump's respect. Good pick.

You may not care but Trump is tone deaf on this issue. He is handing his enemies a terrible and mighty sword

Obama ran on "bringing change", then promptly picked status quo lifer Joe Biden. So give it a rest,
