Trump's New Cabinet Called a "Motley Collection of Believers"

Wes Rickards : Dec 1, 2016  CBN News

While history hasn't yet given a nickname for President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet and his executive team, it's starting to look like he's surrounding himself with men and women of faith.

Secretary of Commerce: Wilbur Ross

When Trump meets the members of his cabinet, he won't be the only billionaire at the table. His nominee to run the Commerce Department, Wilbur Ross, can also stare at a nine-figure bank account. The investor has a...
