Mr Trump, this is bullshit. Can you hire someone who doesn't work for Goldman Sachs?

What about that swamp? Huh? http://hotair.com/archives/2016/11/30/come-on-trump-considering-president-of-goldman-sachs-for-budget-chief/

He could just be faking it so the rubes won't vote him out next time.

It certainly happens:

Megyn Kelly: ‘TV hosts’ colluded with Trump to fake tough coverage

. . . When it became too obvious that some media figures were in the tank, certain TV hosts actually took to gaming out with Trump in advance the hits they’d have to do on him occasionally to make themselves appear unbiased. I have been told this directly by more than one TV executive, at more than one network.

One new star would go over the subjects — and even the questions — with which he’d be challenging Trump just before their interviews. ‘I have to give you a hard time on X,’ the host would explain, softening the on-air blow so the candidate would not get angry and cut off access.
Another very well known host would call Trump up before criticizing the candidate and warn him: ‘I have to hit you. I’m getting killed on credibility’ — and Trump, the famous counterpuncher, mysteriously didn’t hit back after those pre-gamed attacks. Why do you think that was?

Now I wonder if counterpuncher Trump will hit back at Walsh.

That instead of draining the swamp, Trump is just bringing in more alligators.

No link - saw it live this morning and can't find a video of it on the CNN site.

It stands to reason, when you drain something, the outflow has to go somewhere.

They all got played by a Machiavellian opportunist. Hilarious!

I have to admit - it's bad, but I've been watching as the Freepers slowly wake up to the fact that they've been conned. This whole time, they've been gloating about what a golden tongue Dump has. Well, guess who else fits in the bill for their descriptions? Con artists! Bah hahahaha!

They've been had. Nothing will change. Enjoy looking foolish with your purchase and no returns! 😄

Trump's closing campaign ad ((link in the article)) flashed an ominous image of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein just as Trump condemned the "global power structure" for robbing America's working class and enriching the elite.

Yet now, the president-elect is leaning on several former Goldman Sachs executives to help him run the country after he takes over in January.

He'll probably get away with it too, his lickspittle supporters like sucking up more that criticising the rich man. They'll blame someone else, Trump had to employ Swampy, it was the only way to stop the Mexicans appropriating Obamacare.

They were so stupid. We saw it coming and it is happening. It was obvious to everyone who didn't vote for him, a majority.

They bought a shit pie from a snake oil salesman. Now they must be made to eat it publicly.
