Steven Mnuchin
Secretary of the Treasury: Steven Mnuchin
Mnuchin worked at Goldman Sachs for 17 years. He left Goldman Sachs in 2002, and became a hedge fund manager with an appetite for buying up failing banks (especially after the 2008 economic crisis) including a housing lender called OneWest. As CEO of OneWest Mnuchin became infamous for aggressively foreclosing on tens of thousands of homes. Many of these foreclosures were later found to be fraudulent, leading to multi-million dollar lawsuits. His company also violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to lend money to African-Americans, Latinos and Asian-Americans.

Rex Tillerson
Secretary of State: Rex Tillerson
Tillerson has worked for energy giant Exxon since 1975. He is currently the CEO of ExxonMobil, which has drilling and fracking operations all over the globe -- most concerningly in Russia, where Tillerson is very cozy with Vladimir Putin. In 2011, Tillerson signed a $300 billion deal with Russia to start drilling for oil in the arctic. However, this deal was put on hold when the US issued sanctions against Russia for their actions in Crimea and Ukraine. Tillerson is against these sanctions, and would receive massive financial benefits if they were lifted. Tillerson has no experience in the public sector. His temperament is reported to be stiff and reliant on corporate hierarchy, and not well-suited to the complex and less rigid structure of alliances between nations.

Linda McMahon
Administrator of the Small Business Association: Linda McMahon
McMahon’s legacy is the World Wrestling Entertainment company (not a small business by any means). She has no government experience outside of one year on the state board of education in Connecticut and two failed senatorial bids. She donated $7 million dollars to Trump super-PACs during his campaign.

Andrew Puzder
Secretary of Labor: Andrew Puzder
Puzder’s first chapter in the political world was in the 1980’s as Missouri’s leading anti-abortion lawyer. He wrote legislation that he thought would serve as the groundwork for overturning Roe v. Wade in the future, and was appointed to an anti-abortion task force by the Missouri governor. In 1989 a local Missouri paper published allegations that Puzder beat his wife, unplugging the phone when she tried to call the police for help. Puzder resigned from the task force and the abuse allegations were dropped. The next chapter in Puzder’s career was as chief executive of Carl’s Jr and Hardees. He is responsible for the sexist Carl’s Jr ads that feature bikini-clad women eating fast food in suggestive positions. His views on labor are anti-worker: he opposes raising the minimum wage, opposes paid sick leave, opposes efforts to make more workers eligible for overtime pay, and he thinks that robots would make much better employees than humans, saying machines are “always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall or an age, sex, or race discrimination case.” Barring an unlikely complete change of heart, as Secretary of Labor Puzder will be pro-business and anti-worker.
