Oh I can hear the Trump-lovers now "Obama ran a deficit" Yep, President Obama was faced with the worst economy since the great depression. Obama bailed us out of Bush's "Great Recession" and the country made a full recovery. he did this by investing in "real" productivity. All Trump sees is dollars. There's no education, public programs, health care... just a stream of bucks flowing uphill.
Trump’s Economic Team: Bankers and Billionaires: John A. Paulson - President and chief executive of the investment firm Paulson & Co. Mr. Paulson made billions of dollars by betting on the housing market’s collapse, right before the financial crisis
Steven Mnuchin - National finance chairman of the Trump campaign. He made a fortune at Goldman Sachs and later started Dune Capital Management, which bailed out a failed California-based housing lender. Renamed OneWest, the bank was criticized for its harsh foreclosure practices.
Steven Roth - Founder and chairman of Vornado Realty Trust, the largest owner of commercial real estate in New York City. He and Mr. Trump have frequently competed for properties and have teamed up in deals. (See New York Times expose about Trump's crooked real estate for more info)
Harold Hamm - An Oklahoma oil magnate. He owns stakes in the shale-rich Bakken Formation. They sleep fine at night knowing their product is polluting.
Howard M. Lorber - The chief executive of Vector Group, a holding company of tobacco and real estate interests. He doesn't care how his money comes. he'll reap off your home mortgage and watch you die of lung disease.
Andrew Beal - Poker player, made a lot of money in the recession, buying distressed assets around the country. You know the person who bought people's foreclosed homes for pennies on the dollar then pinned eviction notices on their doors. Nice.
and a host of other successful financial rapists.
Trump has sabotaged Obama's initiatives, and erased Obama's protections that would prevent the greed of the 2000's to cause another recession. He's given the wealthy a massive tax cut that will prove financially fatal to the Middle Class and Poor and he's set up the richest of the rich to line their pockets with weapon, gun and defense spending.
Trump has run up our debt to 78 percent of the GDP (Gross domestic product) levying a grotesque debt against everything we all make, earn and spend.
Basically, Trump is the guy at the company luncheon that orders the most expensive plate, buys rounds for his buddies then disappears when the check comes.
When we all begin paying for this sham of a Presidency Trump will be at some exotic resort, he owns... Laughing at all of us with pooper-scoopers.
