Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin could become the latest White House official to get the boot. President Donald Trump has been souring on Mnuchin for some time now and the continued decline in the stock markets could be the final straw, reports Bloomberg. One source told Bloomberg that the president has considered firing Mnuchin while another said that whether he stays on or not will depend in large part on what happens to the markets.
If Trump was already not so happy with his Treasury secretary, what he did before Christmas Eve surely didn’t help things. Mnuchin rattled nervous markets over the weekend when he put out a statement saying the heads of the country’s six largest banks had told him they had “ample liquidity” to keep lending. Considering that was never seen as a serious concern many saw it either as a huge blunder or a sign that the government knows something the rest of the world doesn’t. He then held a call Monday with members of the President’s Working Group on financial markets, which also raised concern that the problems in the economy could be deeper than many thought.

In America, “Liberty” means “Free to Die in Service of Capital” - Amfortas the hippie.
Most of today’s elites have the moral and social reasoning capacities of spoiled toddlers.
“People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage...but the privileged also feel that their privileges, however egregious they may seem to others, are a solemn, basic, God-right. The sensitivity of the poor to injustice is a trivial thing c

in an already jittery market. It’s like being on a plane and hearing, “Hello, this is your Captain speaking. There is absolutely no cause for alarm. The wings are not on fire.”

Just click on Copy Video URL and then paste it in the text box of JPR. That function works splendidly.

I don’t know jack about Mnuchin. I just love to see Trump swing his melee weapons around and hack his own administration to bits. It’s fun!

Dude, if you govern like Hoover you can expect history (if you paid any attention to it) to repeat itself. Higher tariffs, isolationism, anti-immigrant policies, tax cuts for the rich, deregulation were all favorite policies of Hoover and Coolidge before him.
We are in the 1920’s again. Will Bernie be “FDR”?

National issues (slavery/racism, income inequality, pandemics and pathetic health care, weak unions) are not solved with more states' rights. Global problems (climate change, migration, trade, war, pandemics) are not solved with more nationalism.

Prolonged unnecessary war? Was that really a good idea?
I would like to remind you that U.S. health insurance companies do not contribute anything to health care. They are only a PARASITIC middle man receiving an undeserved cut of "FREE MONEY".

that Kamala Harris refused to do her duty and prosecute Mnuchin when she was California AG has fallen out of favor with the orange emperor.
