Trumps Economic Cabinet Picks Signal Embrace of Wall St. Elite / a campaign of lies...

In a campaign commercial that ran just before the election, Donald J. Trump’s voice boomed over a series of Wall Street images. He described “a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations.”

The New York Stock Exchange, the hedge fund billionaire George Soros and the chief executive of the investment bank Goldman Sachs flashed across the screen.

Now Mr. Trump has named a former Goldman executive and co-investor with Mr. Soros to spearhead his economic policy.

With Wednesday’s nomination of Steven Mnuchin, a Goldman trader turned hedge fund manager and Hollywood financier, to be Treasury secretary, a new economic leadership is taking shape in Washington.

that thought trump was for ordinary working class Americans are going to be very disappointed at how trumps billionaire staff are going to do very little for the working class guy and do a lot to stuff their own pockets with money and power.
We tried to warn those voters that trump was a total con man but they wouldnt listen instead choosing to believe the vacuous rantings of an egomaniac saying he is going to make America great again, yeah right,for himself perhaps.
