Steven Mnuchin
The Operator
Execution, delivery and performance, gets the hard thing done.
Steven Mnuchin is The Operator because his defining moments turned on execution under extreme pressure. As Treasury Secretary he engineered the CARES Act stimulus deployment at a speed and scale the department had never attempted, coordinating across agencies with swift, accountable decision-making. A background in Goldman Sachs and film financing hardened his results-first instincts. Mnuchin does not lead by inspiring movements. He leads by delivering outcomes, precisely, and on time.
“I think the deficit is probably the most important issue today in terms of the long term impact on the economy. We were growing the economy faster than we were growing the debt, so that ratio would have come down.”
“I like the idea of the ten percent tariff across the board, it's a consumption tax on foreign goods. But if you were to do that, he should do that through the reconciliation process — could be used to pay for tax cuts.”
“One thing I would reform the spending process and the debt ceiling process so that there was a real process of the administration having a budget, that budget going through Congress every year.”
