    Soros’ political beliefs are without a doubt evil, but he does know how to make money.

    So what are your thoughts on one of his closest confidants being given a political position? He isn't being asked to make money.

    This guy is Trump's token hire of color.
    Trump picks ex-NFL CB Turner as HUD secretary
    HUD seems to be the agency of choice for Trump's token Black appointees.
    In the first Trump Administration Trump's token Black hire Dr. Ben Carson was also the Secretary of HUD, a position for which he was totally unqualified.

    In fairness to Trump his pool to pick from is simply a bunch of white people unless he appoints a democrat. Slim picking when your policies suck for America and your language is utterly insulting and demonizing. But he has a gazillion white working class folks to choose from. Let me know when one of them gets in the cabinet.

    I think the talk of diversity is distracting from the fact that Trump is assembling this cabinet with the clear goal of finding the people who are most interested in helping the average American. Trump has devoted his life, even pre-politics, to selflessly helping people, and this cabinet clearly reflects that.

    Seems funny to even say, right? :)

    What is interesting, however, is how thoroughly Trump has spread corruption throughout our government and political processes, to the point that when he assembles such a Star Wars bar scene of a cabinet, that includes so many political hacks, unqualified lackeys, and corrupt sycophants........ people hardly bat an eyelash.

    All one has to do, it seems, is shill for Trump on Fox News, make campaign donations, or lie about his crimes, and that will earn a position of great power which will greatly affect Americans' lives.

    We'll get what we deserve.

    First off, Treasury needs someone who understands business and finance, not someone who has run a government agency or ran a senate campaign.

    Second, I would say I’m cautiously optimistic.
