Julian Zelizer : Donald Trump doesn't seem to give his Cabinet appointments much thought.

Zelizer says the novelty of Trump thinking carefully about, well-anything, is so striking that it warrants extended discussion.

He says Trump needs a treasury secretary who can sell Wall Street on tax cuts, reduced regulation and reduced trade policies.

Trump ’s hesitation springs from the importance he gives to money, he says.

David Gergen : Wall Street is the only part of the American establishment that Trump respects.

He says the S&P 500 rose faster under Biden than at any time since 1945 , except for the dot-com boom of the late 1990s .

Trump wants a treasury secretary who won’t condescend to him about tariffs yet can coax the S.P 500 to rise higher, Gergen says.
