Goldman tRump Sachs

Found this anonymous post online...


Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, was a former Executive VP at Goldman Sachs. He worked there for 17 years (the majority of his career), and his father worked at GS for >30 years.
Trump’s National Economic Council Director, Gary Cohn, is the current President and COO of Goldman Sachs, where he has worked for the past 26 years.

Trump’s Chief of Staff and former Trump Campaign CEO, Steve Bannon, worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs throughout the 1980s, leaving to form his own investment bank. He was later the Co-Founder and Chairman of Breitbart News.

One of Breitbart’s largest shareholders, Robert Mercer, is the Co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, one of the largest hedge fund firms in the country. Mercer also funded a super PAC that was run by Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s Campaign Manager. Robert Mercer’s daughter, Rebekah Mercer, is also a member of Trump’s 16-member executive committee managing his transition.

This, of course, is the tip of the iceberg in terms of Trump’s connections to the financial sector. But it’s very blatant that he is no stranger to Wall Street.

Trump ran against Wall St during this election and in particular, Goldman Sachs. It turns out he embraced them all along.
