Mnuchin to be Painted as the Evil Forecloser?
There's the Air Force veteran who owns a car wash and for years has battled OneWest Bank, which was once headed by Trump's choice as Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, whom the Air Force veteran is calling a "liar and a crook." Then there's the Californian whose home was foreclosed on last year. "Why would they put someone like Mnuchin in charge at Treasury when the bank he ran could not even get the figures right on my mortgage?" The parade is expected to continue, and while it may not sink his nomination, it is likely to politically weaken him as the Democrats seek to tag the Trump administration with the sins of the financial crisis.
