Do you trust men named Steve? Then you'll be relieved that the economy would be in safe hands under a Trump administration.

Donald Trump revealed his list of economic advisers, and they're pretty much what you would expect. There's Tom Barrack of the private equity firm Colony Capital, investor Andy Beal, real estate CEO Howard Lorber, Reagan- and Bush-era economic adviser David Malpass, academic Peter Navarro and mergers and acquisitions portfolio manager John Paulson.

But then, there are the Steves.

As you may have noticed, there are no people of color and no women. Unless any women are secretly named Steve?
