I don't get it either. When you ask Trump supporters why he spent his entire campaign criticizing Hillary Clinton for making speeches at Goldman Sachs and saying she was in the pockets of Wall Street insiders, but is now surrounding himself with Goldman Sachs executives, they have no answers, so they start personal attacks and name calling.
Its simple and he's talked about this, he's surrounding himself with deal makers, people who have made money and know how to make deals, not political hacks, those are the answers, if you've watched his speeches recently you would have heard him say this.
I've been quite happy with his appointments thus far. What did you want him to do? Get inexperienced civilians off the street?
So how do you explain his 15 month criticism of Hillary Clinton and Wall Street?
If Trump Campaigned at a Vegan Convention
Trump pre-election: "We're going to stop factory farming, meat production and close all the slaughter houses. No more abuse of helpless farm animals."
Convention Attendees: "Yay! Eat veggies. Save the animals! No beef, no chicken!"
Trump post-election: "Melania, let's stop at Delmonico's tonight for dinner. The veal I ate for lunch was good, but I'm in the mood for a big, juicy steak."
Its simple and he's talked about this, he's surrounding himself with deal makers, people who have made money and know how to make deals, not political hacks, those are the answers, if you've watched his speeches recently you would have heard him say this.
I never said these people aren't experienced, only that Trump is a liar and a hypocrite.
By the way, "Deal Makers" usually don't care about human rights, environmental regulations, worker benefits or fair compensation.
Regarding other appointments, do you really think Rick Perry should be Sec of Energy? Is Ben Carson qualified to run HUD because he's from the inner city? I drive a car and have traveled extensively. Maybe I should be Secretary of Transportation!
All of those who voted for the populist Trump, hoping he would "drain the swamp" of big money interests, should now know that you've been conned and hoodwinked. Trump doesn't give a darn about you and your petty interests. He and his wealthy elite will run this country and all of us regular folks into the ground.
Of all the people he's selected, none of them are making minimum wage.None of them are affected by ACA.None of them are concerned about SSI. None of them have to worry about if jobs will be returning to America or being outsourced. And to think, the is something the American people wanted!
It's all about Putin getting his sanctions lifted and Exxon. The birther idiot Trump will do the bidding of the Oligarchs and it will be as if Putin has won the election of the USA. Anyone that voted for the birther and still insists it was the right thing to do is no patriot and does not give a **** about this country and what it used to stand for.
Funny, reading these old posts by the Obstructionists. Wonder what ever happened to them? .... I know, probably in some moldy bar drinking themselves into oblivion, and waiting for the 8 years to be over.
