President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly selected Howard Lutnick to lead the Department of Commerce in his new administration.
If the Senate confirms Lutnick, he will manage an agency tasked with expanding U.S. economic growth and strengthening domestic industries.
The Financial Times reported that figures on Wall Street wanted to thwart Lutnick’s appointment to Treasury Secretary because of his support for some of Trump’s policies, like tariffs.
As the Secretary of Commerce, Lutnick would “play a central role in implementing the president-elect’s proposed tariffs on U.S. imports,” the WSJ notes.

If Wall Street doesn’t want him he’s our man.
Pardon me for interrupting but the illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley was just found guilty on all counts in Athens, Georgia.
Just another department that should be abolished.
And he needs to be executed immediately before the end of today. Out the back door to a newly built gallows or up against a wall and shot by a firing squad. Or execute him the muzzie way with a chopping block and a very sharp axe and off with his head. And then send his gory chopped off head on a pike back to Venezuela as a warning to others who kill Americans that they’re next.
And if Lutnick doesn’t get the job done, we’re sending in that Oxmix guy with his submachine guns.
Am so old that I remember that the Department of Commerce building had an Aquarium in the basement… sheesh
