The president-elect will develop his economic policies with the help of a circle of associates beyond his family. Treasury secretary hopeful Steve Mnuchin (page 23) and commerce secretary nominee Wilbur Ross will be key influences, as will former Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn, the incoming chief of the National Economic Council. An affection for Ronald Reagan unites many at Trump's side; and he will depend on advisers with zealous ideas about trade and manufacturing to get his message out. He'll hear from a coterie of friends from the rough-and-tumble property and gaming industries-such as Vornado Realty Trust Chief Executive Officer Steven Roth and casino mogul Phil Ruff in-who have been loyal to him and his family through the decades. And rich supporters such as Carl Icahn, Peter Thiel-who both oppose regulation-and others will continue to have his ear.
