Donald Trump’s True Colors Emerge as He Snuggles up to Wall Street

Earlier this week, in the post Donald Trump Will Meet War Criminal Henry Kissinger, I pointed out the following:

Since clinching the Republican nomination, Trump’s true colors have started to emerge. He named a former Goldman Sachs partner to run his fundraising efforts, he named petty authoritarian, gangster wannabe Chris Christie to run his transition team, and he chose “everyone’s a terrorist” Rudy Giuliani as his planned head of the domestic gestapo, the Department of Homeland Security. He’s also been endorsed by Orc King Sheldon Adelson, who said he was prepared to spend $100 millionto get him elected. Now he’s off to kiss the blood-soaked hands of Henry Kissinger.

Apparently, that was just the beginning. Now he’s out publicly pandering to Wall Street in ways even Hillary Clinton wouldn’t dare do.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said he intends to release a detailed economic policy platform in two weeks that would dismantle nearly all of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, he said in an interview Tuesday with Reuters.

“I would say it’ll be close to a dismantling of Dodd-Frank,” Mr. Trump said, according to the Reuters report. “Dodd-Frank is a very negative force, which has developed a very bad name.”

Mr. Trump also said he is “not an enemy” of current Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, although he reiterated he eventually wants a Republican to lead the U.S. central bank. “I’m not a person that thinks Janet Yellen is doing a bad job,” he added.

While I’m not a Dodd-Frank fan, it’s not because it was too harsh, but because it didn’t really do much of anything. It was the typical neoliberal bait and switch, designed to look tough for public consumption, while merely making tweaks around the edges of a financial system that requires systemic, paradigm level change.

Trump’s support of repealing Dodd-Frank tells you all you need to know. A Trump Presidency will see Wall Street felons who should be in prison, running as wild and free as ever.

He will be the same thing to distressed working class whites that Obama was to the black community. A fake messiah and a shyster.

  1. The 1/10 of the 1% have gamed the system since the beginning of time. Trump is just a manifestation of this sad fact as is Hillary, just another face of the status quo from the “liberal” side of things.

  2. Why is even surprising? What did people expect from a (crooked) millionaire businessman? He’s of the 1%.

    Just saw an anti-Trump ad on TV, where he’s being disrespectful to women. Great. Now all these guys who never voted will come out in droves for him.

    • So true! Trump’s a member of the globalist criminal cabal, and a particularly nasty one to women, which is icing on the cake for the authoritarian nazi-loving misogynists out there. He’s their hero!

  3. he is still trying to get elected. and he’s not hillary. so you are vascilatting i think.

    we know all candidatees suck. what’s new. have you changed your opinion about hillary being worse than donald because of this?
    i have not. she is a bigger threat to liberty than donald. populist rhetoric aside, having the clinton dynasty in the white house is very dangerous. donald is very likely to just be a piece of shit, which is great and not that dangerous. and on the off change he does some goodishness, not bad.

    this truly is about the lesser of two evils so lets not get confused about what writing about this political landscape entails………satisfaction with dissatisfaction

  5. Defeat Paul Ryan and John McCain and make Congress better by sending a shot across bow of the neocon “boat”. Congress can turn off the money flow if our voices get loud enough!
