Trumps financial facilitator, Steven Mnuchin

LOW KEY, ALL BUSINESS, COMPETENT

THE MAN WHO MAKES TRUMP'S ECONOMIC IDEAS REALITY


Business Insider


Steven Terner Mnuchin was born in New York on Dec. 21, 1962. He is the son of a Goldman Sachs executive, graduated from Yale and worked at Goldman Sachs for 17 years. He then went out on his own and headed several Hedge funds and other enterprises including an executive producer of many Hollywood film productions.

He is the  grandson of a Russian Jewish diamond merchant who emigrated to the United States in 1919.

While not considered a political activist, he has contributed to many Democratic candidates.

He reportedly has known Trump for around 15 years. Trump asked him if he would serve as his National Finance chairman in 2016.  He gained the confidence of the candidate with his efficient and competent work.

He became the 77th Secretary of the Treasury on February 13, 2017. 

He has been very successful in helping to fashion the 2017 Tax reform Act. Instrumental in advocating for regulation reform. If it has to do with financial matters, he is likely to be very involved in developing those policies.

It seems he and Trump are very complimentary. He has the financial know how and understanding of the global financial world to make Trump's vision a reality.

He has helped with implementing tariff's to bring about better trade agreements. He has competently forged sanctions for maximum effect against our adversaries.

He has recently fashioned the financial legislation to deal with the corvid-19 crisis.

At first glace he appears a little understated, possibly nerdy, not concerned about personal appearance or extravagant life-style. He has been married 3 times and has 2 children. I suspect when it comes to his work, he is all business. His personal life is not well known.

We have never heard of disagreements with Trump, he seems to often be on the same page and willing to get it done. Having said all that, he is no push-over, or timid when confronted by the media or others who question the Trump policies. He is articulate and sharp as a tack.
