Also, on CNBC when the list was announced, a couple of things worth mentioning.
Andrew Ross Sorkin, one of the show's co-anchor's made a comment that Trump had promised he would put together an Economic Team comprised of the "A" Team. One of the other anchors made a comment that he was going to reserve judgment. Then Sorkin paused a moment and then stated that he was not going to reserve judgment. He then said, "This is not the "A" Team. It's not ever the "B" Team." 
I thought that his comment was interesting as most of the CNBC anchors are in the tank for Trump.
Second, the shows anchors were all speculating why Carl Icahn's was not listed as part of Trumps economic team since their relationship is widely known as a Trump Advisor, and it was assumed that Icahn would be on Trump's Economic Team when it was announced. Later it was announced that Icahn was not on the list because he was still trying to determine whether or not he would establish a second Super PAC for this campaign.
This would be his second Super PAC. Technically known as independent expenditure-only committees, Super PACs may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to advocate for or against political candidates.
The first Super PAC Icahn formed had an initial commitment of $150 million and was targeted at "tax inversions," which occur when a company moves its headquarters outside the United States to take advantage of lower tax rates elsewhere.
"Mr. Icahn declined the opportunity to join the Trump economic advisory council because at this time, we're still considering whether to fund and manage our own Super PAC focused on regulatory reform," Jesse Lynn, general counsel to Icahn, said by telephone.
Gee. How noble of Ichan to refrain from pretending to be an objective member of an advisory council while trying to decide whether or not to establish a second Super PAC to get this guy elected.
