Email Chain: Landon Thomas Discussion of Trump Treasury Pick and Market Reaction (File 032370)
Email correspondence from November 14, 2016, between Landon Thomas Jr. and Jeffrey E. discussing potential Treasury Secretary appointments in the Trump administration and financial market reactions.
Summary
Landon Thomas Jr., Financial Reporter at the New York Times, emails Jeffrey E. to discuss potential Treasury Secretary candidates for the incoming Trump administration. Thomas speculates that Reince Priebus's selection suggests Trump may choose a higher-profile name than Steve Mnuchin for the Treasury position to reinforce a 'Reagan 2.0' narrative. The exchange also discusses market movements, with Thomas noting that hedge fund managers who supported Hillary Clinton are now praising themselves for profiting from the post-election market surge and have become Trump supporters.
