5. That can only mean...

(1) Trump has found someone REALLY bad as his Treasury Secretary. Lutnick, being head of Cantor Fitzgerald, understands finance well enough to be a good treasury secretary. Since Trump doesn't want anyone good - witness Tulsi Gabbard as DNI - having a competent treasury secretary would kinda throw things off. I can almost see Trump putting Winston Shrout (a sovereign citizen who's in prison for not only evading taxes, but for running seminars teaching others to do the same thing) in as Treasury secretary.

(2) Trump's tradition of putting the wrong people in every position continues.

I think what really got Lutnick this job is he waxes poetic about the early 1900s, where tariffs rather than income taxes funded the government. He's also on RFK Jr's side about vaccines.
