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.

What, Trump's a two face hypocrite? If only I'd known before - oh wait, I did. Trump followers won't care though. :roll:
Really? You don't see the difference between being controlled by Goldman Sachs and controlling someone you hired from Goldman Sachs? The difference between using a well crafted tool for your purposes and allowing that tool to use you?
The criticism isn't that she worked (past tense) at Goldman Sachs. The criticism is that she's working for them right now, this instant. And that the current conflict of interest led to dishonest financing practices...Trump Names Steven Mnuchin As Finance Chairman | The Daily Caller
Meet the new 'boss'...same as the old 'boss'.
But this is the sort of dishonesty that I've come to expect from Trump haters. Misleading information and dishonest comparisons.In January 2016, it was reported that her husband's campaign was also financed by a previously undeclared loan Cruz received from Goldman Sachs.

There's no 'dishonest' comparison here. Trump just hired a Democratic donor who worked for George Soros to run the financial wing of his crusade. But that's just the sort of rationalization that I have come to expect from Trump lovers. Willfully ignoring any honest criticism.
So he doesn't work for George Soros, a yeti, or satan right now? Oh well then, looks like you have nothing to say that's relevant then.
