President Trump is reportedly floating the notion of replacing acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. For numerous unrelated reasons, most directly affecting Trump’s reelection odds, this is an abysmal idea.

Most devastating to both Trump’s personal fortune and the country at large, Mnuchin vacating his post at the Treasury Department could be enough to kick the nation into a recession. Of Trump’s 15 current cabinet appointees, Mnuchin is one of just seven who has served from the start of Trump’s presidency. Even prior to any whiff of impeachment proceedings or Trump alienating his own allies with foreign policy faux pas, the Senate only confirmed Mnuchin by a six-vote margin. If Trump does tap Mnuchin to replace Mulvaney, his administration is looking at yet another grueling confirmation process, one that could irk Republicans while he needs their support the most. Trump already needs the Senate to confirm a homeland security secretary, director of national intelligence, and administrator of the Small Business Administration. Does he want to throw another Cabinet position into the mix?
