Trump Names Former Goldman Partner, Soros Money Manager As Finance Chairman

[Timber Rattler]

After acknowledging he will now raise money for the general election, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has named a national finance chairman who has a history with some organizations that could clash with his conservative populist message.

On Thursday, Trump named Steven Mnuchin, the chairman and CEO of private investment firm Dune Capital Management LP, to lead his fundraising.

Mnuchin, according to his Bloomberg profile, was a partner at Goldman Sachs, where he worked for 17 years. He also worked at Soros Fund Management LLC, founded by liberal mega-donor George Soros.

During the primary, Trump criticized rival Ted Cruz because the Texas senator’s wife worked for Goldman Sachs. “I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They have total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton,” Trump said in February.

Explain this one away, Trump supporters...

Do I even need to say it?

Explain this one away, Trump supporters...   

They can't.  A couple of weeks ago, I posted information showing the association between the Donald with Soros and provided a link.  Trump supporters are and have been in denial.  We're roughly 5 months away from the general.  All kinds of 'revelations' about liberal Trump are going to come out.  They'll finally catch on that they've been duped.  Then they're going to be faced with who they're going to vote for.  Either way, Hillary is going to be POTUS.

Now that he's in the general it's perfectly fine for him to sell out.  This was about defeating the GOPe which is all that really matters.

I guess that's about the only way they can explain this.  But don't follow up with the fact that Cruz wasn't GOPe and was the best person to push Conservatism AND defeat the GOPe (we'll have to ignore that little fact).

The stench of Trump hypocrisy will waft thick for the next six months.

Is he? In the General? I may be naïve, but I do wish for and hope the GOP convention will still go ballistic. I've still seen nothing that puts Trump at that 1,237 number, and even if he is - there is still plenty of time for Trump to make (more) stupid remarks that will send the delegates in a #NeverTrump frenzy.

Trump announces national finance chairman

By Rebecca Savransky

Steven Mnuchin will serve as Donald Trump's national finance chairman, the campaign announced Thursday.

“Steven is a professional at the highest level with an extensive and very successful financial background," Trump said in a statement.

"He brings unprecedented experience and expertise to a fundraising operation that will benefit the Republican Party and ultimately defeat Hillary Clinton.”

Trump, now the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, has touted his primary campaign's self-funding but on Wednesday said he would not entirely self-fund his general election campaign, promising that he would create a “world-class finance organization” instead.
Mnuchin serves as chairman and CEO of Dune Capital Management LP, a private investment firm, and he is the chairman of Dune Entertainment Partners LLC.

He previously was a partner at Goldman Sachs and has a B.A. from Yale University.

Mnuchin has worked with Trump in the past on a business level and "brings his expertise in finance to what will be an extremely successful fundraising operation for the Republican Party," according to the news release.

“It’s a great privilege to be working with Mr. Trump to create a world class finance organization to support the campaign in the General Election," Mnuchin said in a statement.

I tried to make the point several months ago on another site that Trump would have to go to these big businesses that fund super PACs to get "the best".

[Frank Cannon]

Yes. Lets all rally around the biggest fraud candidate that ever ran in either party.

Super PACs have the fox outside the henhouse. Donny Boy just opens the front door and let's them walk in.

Yep. Not posted (or at least allowed to stay up). Still lots of Cruz bashing, though. I thought he suspended his campaign.

BTW, thanks for directing me to this site.

There goes the chance of any real regulatory reform we all wanted.
Let the Lobbyist and the Cronies in, boys, Donald's back in town.

[Neverdul]

Hypocrisy, we much.

BTW and just to point out, a "Partner" at Goldman Sacks would be much, much higher up the food chain than a VP at the Houston office. If a Partner walks into the local office, the VP’s fetch the coffee for him.

[NavyCanDo]

Connecting the dots progressives always seem to be connected in some way to George Soros. But does it matter to Trumpsters?   The answer to that is easy - No.    The "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" is the only truth he has ever spoken.
