Meet Trumps New BFF Jacob Wohl
Source: Talking Points Memo
Last night on Twitter, along with urging various nations in Northeast Asia to go to war with North Korea, President Trump retweeted a gushing tweet from someone named Jacob Wohl, a name I hadn’t heard before. A quick look at his twitter profile shows Wohl presents himself as a financial management wunderkind and epic Trump supporter. He’s already a mini-star in conservative media and no doubt about to grow in such stardom with a retweet from the President. (It’s worth wondering, how did Trump find Wohl.) He also appears to be a veritable mini-Trump, racking up a reputation for defrauded investors, various boffo shenanigans and a batch of regulators on his trail.
A look at Wohl’s business website, “Montgomery Assets” shows him in a meet-and-greet photo doing the thumbs up gesture with President Trump. Wohl plays up his purported relationship to Trump as well as being devotee of Trump’s methods of achieving success.
According to the Montgomery Assets site, Wohl launched his first ‘hedge fund’ at age 16 while still in high school and “received attention from around the world for being the youngest hedge fund manager of all time.” Another part of the site explains that the Montgomery Assets team “use an alternative thought process for looking at and analyzing the world in order to create better projections about future trends.” Wohl is the CEO of Montgomery Assets, which the site list as having offices in Beverly Hills and Chengdu China.
