12. Trump campaigned on ending cronyism in government

Tue Nov 29, 2016, 06:57 PM

Nov 2016

At least a few of his supporters voted for Trump because they bought his patter about breaking away from the clutches of the banksters and the Wall Street insiders. How do his supporters feel about a Goldman Sachs executive presiding over the Treasury? Is that the "outsider" platform they voted for? How is their hero Trump acting any differently from the people his supporters were told to hate during the campaign? Do they like being played for suckers?
