Trump picks billionaire Wall Street trading firm founder Vincent Viola as Army secretary

Donald has apparently settled on his new secretary of the Army. The good news is that he was actually in the Army—but then again, Ben Carson will be in charge of Housing and Urban Development because he has lived in housings and urbans, so by that standard Carson is twice as qualified at his job as this fellow. The even better news is that Donald Trump continues to drain the swamp by picking up all the little swamp creatures and giving them brand new offices.
President-elect Donald Trump will nominate former infantry officer, billionaire businessman and National Hockey League team owner Vincent Viola as secretary of the Army, his transition team announced Monday.
Viola, who is reportedly worth $1.8 billion, is the founder of electronic trading firm Virtu Financial and was previously the chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange from 2001 to 2004.
So he checks off the is himself a billionaire and Wall Street largekitty boxes. He alsodoesn't plan to divest from his company in order to take on the Army job, so you can see why Trump is so enamored with the guy.
