Trump picks Mick Mulvaney as acting White House chief of staff

“Bulls & Bears” panel on how President Trump named Mick Mulvaney, director of Office of Management and Budget, as acting White House chief of staff.

[AprilsWednesday]

He is smart! Glad he is cos! Hope he stays?

[ultramagahoosierhermit]

Sorry but the president does not need controlled nor will anyone control him

A top heavy organization needs to downsize. Remove the ineffective. You get paid a salary to get the job done. Leave if you can't.

[JW-dowc]

The best pick by far. Hope he stays there with Trump for the next 6 yrs.

“Sit down and shut up”, said the Governor to the President,
oh, wait, we won’t be hearing this…

*Mr. Mulvaney in Nov. 2016 on Trump: "I think he's a terrible human being." Mick, Mick, Mick, that's why the Trumpsters voted for him!*

Mick thinks Trump is a terrible human being. He is already one of the smartest people in the white house.

Mick Mulvaney owes years of back taxes.He spent years pushing against any rise in federal budget until Trump made him director of the OMB, when he presented the highest budget ever. He helped increase the federal budget by nearly $1 trillion dollars this year with an additional $7 trillion over the next 7 years. He also opposed paying for a border wall. A true conservative.

Mick Mulvaney refuses to meet with lobbyists unless they make a campaign donation. He is very open about this position. He wanted to get rid of Meals on Wheels because he claims it doesn't help taxpayers. He once purchased bonds for a real estate development and then led a campaign to have tax payers also buy bonds. Once they inflated the value of the real estate, he sold his bonds for $7 million and never finished the project he promised tax payers he would. A man of the people.

Mick Mulvaney supports Rand Paul. He claims to be the most conservative member of the current administration and introduces himself (facetiously I assume) as a "right wing nut job". He became the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after calling it a "sick, sad joke" of a department. Here, he actively worked to dismantle the Bureau by freezing hiring, rulemaking, and penalty fee collection. He requested a budget for this department of $0. He also has dropped multiple cases against pay day lenders whom have made sizeable contributions to his campaign. Remember, this verifies his statement that he only listens to people who donate to him. He did, however, bring in new politically appointed employees who he immediately gave large raises to. He even created new positions for them. It took him four months to make a single penalty assessment, probably due to the fact that he was working 2-3 days a week, a few hours a day. He shut down public access to the consumer complaint database of the CFPB, calling it "Yelp for financial services". He has supported shutting down the government on multiple occasions.

Mick Mulvaney supports increasing the federal deficit, shutting down the government, less transparency, and bribing. He also supports stealing from taxpayers, not paying taxes, and pay day lenders who have charged up to 950% interest. One thing he does not support is Planned Parenthood, because he is against the "trafficking in pieces of dead children".

Mick Mulvaney is perfect for Donald Trump's administration.

[ralphcanfield]

[pastaroni]

[cjkcjk]

This was the “reverse” Apprentice process with Mick being last person standing. “Mick, You are hired!”

[nuggz]

Cutting spending - the debit went up this year over a trillion dollars

[joeyasl]

In Trump administration, either u came up from ZERO to HERO or fall from grace from HERO to ZERO. This is like Avengers Infinity.... bombastic... nothing moderate....

[helloman]

Great! Another person potentially going to jail.

[kasthooriepollmeier]

Wall street is going to shut down in the early New Year-so this nomination is very smart as POTUS does not want the Govt shut down to effect the ordinary man on the steet-forsight.

[bhdn]

It's "pay to play" Micky. Lobbyists are jumping for joy.

[raymondkidwell]

Is that mobster host one of Trump's guys?

[saint]

He'll be out by next December!
hahaha

[johnbullwick]

Too many people act as if government is pagan god. Ooh a shut down ooh. We must toil and do rituals to appease it. Lol.
