Aaannnd there goes the Treasury post, to Goldman Sachs (eyebleach needed for pic)

Trump just appointed Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin Treasury secretary,
who served as the national finance chair on Trump's presidential campaign.

Mnuchin spent 17 years with Goldman Sachs, and his father worked at the bank for 30 years in stock trading.

Mnuchin was chief information officer at Goldman Sachs before he left the firm in 2002. He also worked briefly for George Soros.

PS: remember, we are not to circulate this pic. of Trump, who has complained about shots of his double chin.
( This one looks more like a triple, to me...)

At least a few of his supporters voted for Trump because they bought his patter about breaking away from the clutches of the banksters and the Wall Street insiders. How do his supporters feel about a Goldman Sachs executive presiding over the Treasury? Is that the "outsider" platform they voted for? How is their hero Trump acting any differently from the people his supporters were told to hate during the campaign? Do they like being played for suckers?

he keeps his nose hair trimmed.

Why do I notice that? Cause I'm damn near his age and its a ritual I have to do quiet regularly. Nothing grosses me out more than nostril bush

The deplorables that voted him in better bend over and grab their ankles.

Their god emperor is on the way to "help" them!

It is only fitting that he's failed at it like his other ventures.
