This isn’t gonna help the meme that Trump leans Democrat; behold his new Finance guy

That would be Dune Capital Management CEO Steven Mnuchin.  I read his bio and if one has been working for the TOPMOST Democrats and Socialists, WHY IN GOD’S GREEN EARTH would have Trump even thought of bringing him on board?  Just the PR of having a Democrat leaning person on staff raises eyebrows – when that person worked for George Soros (Socialist, convicted currency trader), well, it just isn’t going to sit well with the conservative wing of the Party (reformatted, emphasis mine):

More than 80 percent of the campaign contributions Donald Trump’s national finance director has made since 1998 have gone to Democratic politicians, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of Federal Election Commission records. Trump appointed Dune Capital Management CEO Steven Mnuchin to head his campaign’s fundraising operation on Thursday, as he begins to prepare for the general election now that he’s been named the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. But Mnuchin’s extensive history of considerable campaign contributions suggests the Wall Street veteran is more interested in getting Democrats elected than Republicans.

FEC records show that over the course of 18 years, beginning with a $500 donation to Democrat Chuck Schumer’s Senate campaign in 1998, Mnuchin has made $68,300 in campaign contributions.  Eighty-five percent, or $57,800 of which has gone to Democratic candidates in gubernatorial, senatorial and presidential races. Among the Democratic candidates Trump’s finance chairman has contributed to: President Obama ($4,300); former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ($8,200); former Democratic presidential nominees John Kerry ($500) and Al Gore ($1,000); former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards ($4,100); former Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu ($2,300); New York Sen. Chuck Schumer ($2,500) and former New Jersey congressional candidate Michael Wildes ($11,500). Mnuchin also contributed $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2004.
