How Team Trump plans to ‘Make America Wealthy Again’
Team Trump released a video Monday obtained exclusively by Blaze News highlighting President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees, who the Trump team says will “Make America Wealthy Again.”
Trump’s nominees include Kevin Hassett for director of the National Economic Council, Howard Lutnick for secretary of commerce, and Scott Bessent for secretary of the treasury. Team Trump told Blaze News that the nominees will work in the administration to prioritize American workers and industry jobs as well as “permanently establish” Trump’s tax cuts and eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security.
“The American people gave President Trump a mandate to Make America Wealthy Again by restoring our economy to be even better than his first term,” Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for the Trump-Vance transition team, told Blaze News.
“From Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent’s experience as transformative leaders on Wall Street to Kevin Hassett’s proven policy record from President Trump’s first term, these nominees are ready to invest in the American people,” Leavitt continued. “Together, they form a team of economic experts dedicated to fighting for working families and Making America Wealthy Again.”
Lutnick has been a “transformative leader” on Wall Street for the last 40 years. Lutnick began his career in 1983 at Cantor Fitzgerald, quickly ascending to president and CEO by the impressive age of 29. A pivotal moment in Lutnick’s career was in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks that claimed the lives of hundreds of his employees, including his brother and his best friend. As a tribute, Lutnick committed himself to rebuilding the firm to support the families of those whose lives were lost and to “provide a source of hope and strength for survivors.” (Read more from “How Team Trump plans to ‘Make America Wealthy Again'” HERE)
