To editor marquardtika

I can't prove that you aren't a paid sockpuppet or PR flak based on your Texas legislature entries; however, if you are, this is a good opportunity to provide transparency. You claim that you are a 2017 Presidential Management Fellow, despite the fact that there are no Marquardts on the list: https://www.pmf.gov/media/100372/2017_list_of_finalists_web_01-11-17.pdf. Your claim that my addition of the "Trump Press Conference Controversy" doesn't represent a neutral point of view is specious: what, indeed, point of view does factual reporting of a significant biographical event comprise? The entry makes no judgment about Mnuchin's silence. Equally invalid is your secondary claim that this content is "coatrack" (very funny), which is like saying that to point out the fact that Hitler was a Nazi would be "off-topic." The very content of Mnuchin's Wikipedia entry makes clear why this event is paramount -- if not defining -- to his biography. 05:41, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Notablility

Removed prod. Corporate banker; founder of the Company that produced Avatar (2009 film); now chairing the Trump campaign committee. Patently notable. Here's this weeks full profile of his life, career in the New York Times [1].E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:21, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation

Trump has not publicly confirmed him as the treasury pick. An anonymous source said that he "might" be confirmed Wednesday. according to: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/11/29/reports-mnuchin-trumps-pick-treasury/94629098/ "The official announcement of Mnuchin's election could come as earlier as Wednesday, said the transition source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to speak publicly about selections." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.73.186.233 (talk) 23:55, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

He's been tapped as Treasurer, shouldn't there should be an image of some sort? On both this page and the Cabinet of Donald Trump page.

Plzwork1122 (talk) 22:18, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Plzwork1122: I've thought that too. I suppose there aren't a lot of decent quality public domain pictures of him. If worse comes to worse, we can always use his official portrait when he takes office, but that won't be for a while. Hopefully we'll find some kind of holdover.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 03:49, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Drove a Porsche?

Why exactly do we need to note what kind of car he drove in college? I'm pretty sure that he wasn't the only Yale student driving a Porsche. Just because a source wrote it doesn't make it relevant. Do we add an entry every time Justin Bieber buys a hat? Niteshift36 (talk) 04:37, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

so what bachelor's degree does he have?

a simple question i guess. which bachelor degree did he get in yale? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.82.222.77 (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He's the 77th Secretary of the Treasury

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I'm pretty sure that you need to add '77th' before 'Secretary'. Nothing else. 100.37.192.168 (talk) 02:43, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rules Don't Apply

He appears as one of the bankers in Rules Don't Apply with Oliver Platt? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That movie is supposed to take place in 1958. He wasn't born yet. Or did you mean that he appeared as an actor in the movie? ~~I don't see any mention of that in IMDb though.~~ Oh wow, you're right! He appears a couple of times in IMDb as an actor! Good catch! --FeralOink (talk) 11:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How long has he been a Republican?

He's worked with George Soros and donated money to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore and Bill Bradley in 2000, John Kerry and John Edwards in 2004, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson in 2008, and Kamala Harris.

He doesn't sound like any type of Republican to me.

Has he always claimed to be a Republican or did he change just recently? Durindaljb (talk) 08:09, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He just changed recently. ~~The article now makes reference to this fact.~~--FeralOink (talk) 11:06, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism for aggressive foreclosure practices section

Mnunchin profited from the foreclosures. He was on the board, he previously owned the company and certainly set policy. I do not see any reason to remove this. Jim1138 (talk) 05:10, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of "Mnuchin"

I've noticed that the pronunciation of Mnuchin in this article is miswritten as "mə-NOO-chin". The accompanying audio file of the spoken name also pronounces it that way. However, Mr. Mnuchin would most likely prefer it to be represented as "mə-NOO-shin". That is, with a "sh" sound at the beginning of the final syllable, not "ch". I base this on the way he pronounces his own name. See time mark 4:16 of the video of him taking the oath of office to become US Secretary of the Treasury. Although Vice President Pence incorrectly says Mnuchin's name as "mə-NOO-chin", Mr. Mnuchin speaks his name immediately afterward, saying "mə-NOO-shin". The pronunciation in this article and the audio file need to be corrected. --Lance E Sloan (talk) 06:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
