Donald Trump isn't exactly known for appointing orthodox cabinet members. He chose a climate change skeptic to lead the Environmental Protection Agency and tapped a pro wrestling magnate to head the Small Business Administration. As such, it's worth taking Trump's claim that he’d consider appointing JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon as Treasury Secretary with a grain of salt. In fact, Trump himself now says he's not quite sure who made that claim.
In looking at who Trump is likely to pick for the Treasury post, his track record suggests the best clues will come from following the money. Consider that Trump's Treasury Secretary the first time around was Steven Mnuchin, the man who helped him raise more than $100 million. Or that the wrestling executive he appointed to the SBA was one of his largest donors.
