A month ago, Trump supporters were probably ready to burn Goldman Sachs to the ground. Now, they’re all OK with it.

I miss reality. I really do.

tRump is keeping his promise to his voters to “drain the swamp”. What the CMIC (Con Man In Chief) didn’t tell them is that the drain funnel would end at 1600 Pennsylvania.

Everything that they hate about Goldman’s will resurface in a few weeks.

Trump did not savage Goldman Sachs; he savaged Hilary by lying about her Goldman Sachs ties! BIG DIFFERENCE!

he also went after Ted Cruz about that as well.

Q?

after doing all of that, why is he associating with these folks?

According to him, they are supposedly just a group of Lucifers.

Count me among the people who hove no real problem with this guy as head of the NEC. To be president of GS you need to very smart and capable. I don’t they employ incompetent or crazy people at this level. So yeah, he probably favors policy positions that I disagree with, but he is not a major loon. This could have been so much worse considering how many econ quacks there are out there (stephen Moore anyone?).

It’s like having Mattis as Sec Def. I in no way think a former general, especially not one recently retired should be SecDef. I don;t really think it is a great idea to increase belligerency toward Iran. But Mattis is a grown-up and likely our only chance to prevent Flynn and Trump from getting us nuked.

You’re not suggesting that Trump might be just a teeny-tiny bit hypocritical, are you? Heavens!

I want more info on Cohn.

These guys will provide Trump with respectable cover. But remember: Organizations reflect the people at the top. Always.

Whassamatau, POSPOETUS, bogged down draining the swamp?

CEO’s in the financial industry are rarely, if ever, any good at macroeconomics. Cohn has a bachelor’s degree from American University’s Kogod School of Business.
