Teena Colebrook is despondent that Trump has picked Steve Mnuchin for Treasury because Mnuchin was the head of a group of investors who owned OneWest, a bank that foreclosed on Colebrook's Los Angeles-area home. She tried to work with the bank to modify her loan, she told the AP, but the bank lost some of her paperwork and was generally difficult to deal with. "I just wish that I had not voted," she said. "I have no faith in our government anymore at all. They all promise you the world at the end of a stick and take it away once they get in."
What fascinates me is why Colebrook ever believed that Trump's heart bleeds for struggling people. Two years before the housing crash that eventually cost Colebrook her home, Trump  openly longed for the kind of housing crash that would cost people their homes. ... Now, according to a Wednesday report in The Washington Post, Trump is putting together the "wealthiest administration in modern American history." People thought George W. Bush had a wealthy administration, the report says, but the Bush administration's combined net worth of about $250 million is "roughly one-tenth the wealth of Donald Trump's nominee for commerce secretary alone." source article | permalink | discuss | subscribe by: | RSS | email Comments: Be the first to add a comment add a comment | go to forum thread Note: Comments may take a few minutes to show up on this page.
