Trump?s economic advisers are also his biggest donors
I thought Trump was self funded & wasn't going to be bought?
Now that he's been bought, and the buyers are his financial adviserscwhen he becomes presidents, isn't he part of the corrupt system? By SHANE GOLDMACHER 08/07/16 07:21 AM EDT After spending months scolding his rivals for being beholden to their financial backers, Donald Trump unveiled an economic advisory council last week ? and filled it with some of his biggest donors. Of the 13 men ? and they are all men ? that Trump touted as economic advisers for their ?unparalleled experience and success,? five are major donors whose families combined to give Trump?s campaign and his joint fundraising account with the Republican Party more than $2 million. Two more have been pursued for campaign contributions. ? Andy Beal, a billionaire investor and poker player who contributed $449,400, the largest legal sum that Trump Victory can receive from an individual. Beal also gave $100,000 last summer to a pro-Trump super PAC, the Make America Great Again PAC, which has since ceased its activities. Beal has also been publicly linked with another Trump super PAC, the Great America PAC, but federal records do not yet show that he has donated. ? Tom Barrack, a longtime Trump friend, who gave more than $399,000 to Trump Victory. Barrack, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, spent more than $15,000 on in-kind contributions when he hosted Trump?s first big fundraiser in Southern California ? including $4,872 on beverages ? in late May.

And this surprises anyone?
Trump has no idea how to run a campaign, no less a government. He is used to putting together a small team to "manage" things, and well, that's just not good enough. You need to pick the right people for the right reasons, not your donors. Trump still doesn't understand that everything he says and everything he does will questioned by millions of people. He is not working in a the boardroom where everyone will just nod their head in agreement. |
Another Trump reversal in strategy.
Remember Dr. Strangelove -- there was no recalling that nuclear bomber :helpme |

This is going to be even more damaging for Trump. He bills himself as a leader, and "doesn't care what people think". Turns out he isn't a leader, and he surely does care what people think. This is just absolutely insane. This is past absolutely insane. This is Michelle Bachman batshit crazy. |
Trump is over!... says a black democratic woman....

The faith some have that the President can change big things like trading policy, migration, economy, etc. Is amazing.
Trump and Clinton rely on those people too stupid to get and vote in every election, too stupid to look into the consequence of politicians proposals and too stupid too realise their lives having been going down the drain for decades. Apart from cheap imports that used to be made in the West. And that one person can't change a thing |
