President Donald Trump said that Sears Holdings Corp. had been mismanaged for years before it declared bankruptcy. Among those responsible for its management: his Treasury secretary.
Steven Mnuchin was a member of Sears’s board from 2005 until December 2016, and before that was a director for K-Mart Corp., which was acquired by Sears in 2005.
“Sears has been dying for many years,” Trump told reporters as he departed the White House on Monday to inspect hurricane damage in Florida. “It’s been obviously improperly run for many years and it’s a shame.”
Treasury didn’t immediately respond to questions about Mnuchin’s service on the company’s board.

Sears Sunset
The modern method of management is to load the firm with debt, loot it, and then leave. Given this treatment, it's no surprise Sears continues sliding.
