He vowed to "drain the swamp."
Trump's closing campaign ad prior to the election blasted "the global power elite" and singled out Goldman Sachs as a pillar of the corrupt establishment ... which, Trump claimed, was rigging the election against him.

Trump's inaugural is shaping up to set a new standard for "pay-to-play" politics:
⭑ Those giving $1 million or more toward the inaugural party weekend will get perks including an “intimate dinner” with Vice President-elect Mike Pence and his wife and a candlelight dinner with an appearance by Trump, Pence, and their wives.
⭑ Those who can only afford $250,000 get an “intimate policy discussion and dinner with select Cabinet officials.”
Global elite?
✤ Commerce secretary pick Wilbur Ross -- he's worth $2.9 billion.
✤ Deputy commerce secretary choice Todd Ricketts -- his family fortune is also in the billions.
✤ Harold Hamm, paraded at Trump Tower as a possible energy secretary -- worth $15 billion.
✤ Trump's reportedly in talks to hire Goldman Sach’s No. 2 executive, Gary Cohn, to be his budget director.
Yep, better if he appointed a bunch of pathetic leftist losers who never did anything in their miserable lives other than shove their noses up some bureaucrats ass for government largess.

ReplyDeleteJust be thankful that Pelosi is back as minority leader and most of middle America will continue to reject California liberalism!
