Goldman Sachs poised for return to power in Trump White House

Remember during the campaign how Trump lambasted Wall Street bankers, hedge fund managers and criticized Hillary for being in their pocket. Now he is putting those same people he call criminals, etc. onto his cabinet. Goldman Sacks will have several former employees on the inside of Trump's White House and on his cabinet.

So, Wall Street wins again and the working middle class is being left out in the cold again. Watch Trump's administration r*** the working and what is left of the middle class.

Well done your working class folk. You knew Trump was and is a chronic liar and yet you voted for him. Enjoy more poverty as he and his administration dump on you again and again. [I use much milder words than are appropriate, but you get my drift.]

The Republican presidential candidate said hedge fund managers are "getting away with murder" on a recent appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation."


"The hedge fund guys didn't build this country. These are guys that shift paper around and they get lucky," he said, drawing a contrast between what people on Wall Street do and Trump's own business of building physical things.

After a decade in the wilderness, Wall Street’s most powerful firm, Goldman Sachs, is dominating the early days of the incoming Trump administration. The newly picked Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, spent 17 years at Goldman. Trump’s top incoming White House adviser, Steve Bannon, spent his early career at the bank. So did Anthony Scaramucci, one of Trump’s top transition advisers.

Goldman’s president, Gary Cohn, spent an hour schmoozing with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday and could be up for an administration job, possibly as director of the Office of Management and Budget, people close to Cohn and the transition said. Cohn, a long-time commodities trader, is friendly with Trump’s powerful son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

It’s a stunning reversal of fortune for Goldman, a long-time Washington power that fell out of favor following the financial crisis. CEO Lloyd Blankfein got hauled before Congress along with other Wall Street executives to account for their behavior. And Trump, who ran as a populist and bashed Wall Street on the campaign trail, featured Blankfein as a shady and dangerous character in his final campaign ad.

Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi famously labeled Goldman the “great Vampire Squid” on the face of America.

I agree with you here. This thread is ridiculous.

Putting people he called criminals into his administration is nothing new for presidents. FDR did the same thing when he put Joseph Kennedy in charge of reforming the stock market.

Ok so I see so far he has three people who used to work there on his team. I haven't looked up what the jobs were and how much decision power they had there. But yes, it appears like the same old same old.

Yes, there are three so far. But we need to remember that Trump called Ted Cruz a puppet of Goldman Sachs because his wife works there and Trump also said Hillary was plotting with international bankers and was in the pocket of Goldman Sachs because she got paid a a lot of money to give speeches to them.

So here is Trump hiring a big wig from Goldman Sachs to run the Treasury Department, the point man on any decisions on bank bailouts or economic stimulus packages. #GildTheSwamp

Not me, and you know it.

I voted against Hillary. Period.

Now I'm going to sit back and watch the show. It's way too early to sit in judgement of what Trump hasn't done yet.

Yes, it's too early to judge results. But it's not too early to judge actions.
Trump has gone back on many promises he made when campaigning. He's also doing many of the things he condemned.

Does anybody think Sarah Palin would be a good choice to lead the Veterans Administration?

I don't think Donald Trump has any problem at all trolling the democrats, which is what I think that is. But I don't think you could do much worse than the current crop of folks in charge over there. I'm on the fence about her, I don't know.
