Trump Picks Former Goldman Partner And Soros Employee As Finance Chairman

In addition to Goldman, Mnuchin also worked at Soros Fund Management, whose founder, George Soros, has funded many left-leaning causes. Where it gets even more bizarre is that Mnuchin has donated frequently to Democrats, including to Clinton and Barack Obama.

This is exactly why I do not support Trump. He will exploit his power in office to offer the mundanes practices that benefit either and old or new Status Quo and the people only experience a Change of Robber Barons at most. Sadly, I now believe that absolutely nothing will improve for the people until the current system, which threw the common man overboard long ago, completely collapses under the weight of the devastating fiscal and monetary policies that the system itself has perpetuated and glorified for far too long.

I'm not quite that pessimistic. There have been people moving the ball our direction, in other areas and in lower offices...

$#@!, don't look at me. I called it from the day Trump declared his run, right here on RPF. It was obvious he's a plant.

Even Rand had a private sit down with Goldman Sachs. Trump just hired away their skilled labor. What is the issue here?

You can also look at this way at least Trump stopped far worse Ted Cruz. Cruz was playing the role for the idiots as being the libertarian leaning constitutional conservative and non-interventionist which is a load of bull$#@!.

People equate Cruz with Rand Paul. So if Cruz had won it would be a total blow to true Conservatives and libertarian leaning Republicans like Rand when Cruz eventually would appear as total fraud that he is.

"They think he's for the free market, and he's owned by Goldman Sachs," Paul said. "He and Hillary have more in common than we have with Trump or anyone else."

Trump Relied on Funding from George Soros to Build Chicago Trump Tower

In 2004, progressive-leaning philanthropist and investor George Soros provided millions in financing for Donald Trump's Trump Tower Chicago development.

By Barry Donegan -
Mar 14, 2016

2016 Republican presidential candidate and billionaire real estate investor Donald Trump borrowed money from progressive-leaning billionaire George Soros back in 2004 to build the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.

In October of 2004, Thomas A. Corfman wrote in The Chicago Tribune, “Donald Trump has lined up three New York hedge funds, including money from billionaire George Soros, to invest $160 million in his Chicago skyscraper, a key piece in perhaps the largest construction financing in the city’s history, according to real estate sources and public documents. … The $160 million investment is in the form of a mezzanine loan, a kind of second mortgage that typically charges a much higher interest rate than a first-mortgage construction loan.”

The Blaze notes that Trump and Soros were also listed as co-defendants in a 2008 RICO lawsuit disputing the sale of a Manhattan General Motors building. A report on the case by Pensions and Investments listed Trump and Soros as investors in the property.

Soros blasted Donald Trump’s campaign in recent comments to Bloomberg Business, seen below.

“Donald Trump is doing the work of ISIS. ISIS, and before that al-Qaeda, discovered the Achilles’ heel of Western civilization
— the fear of death. It interferes with reason, and people do things out of fear which is actually harmful. And that’s what, by fear mongering, Donald Trump and the others, Cruz and so on, are doing the work of ISIS,” said Soros.

He added, “It must be wrong to do what your enemies want you to do. They want people to turn against Muslims, treat them with suspicion, and convince the Muslim community that there is no alternative except terrorism.”

According to The New York Times, Soros is funding a $15 million get-out-the-vote campaign aimed at bolstering Latino and immigrant vote turnouts in swing states in an effort to punish Trump and other Republicans for “anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric.”

“It is harmful to our democracy and to our national interests. There should be consequences for the outrageous statements and proposals that we’ve regularly heard,” said Soros.

According to The New York Post’s celebrity gossip column Page Six, Trump and Soros were seen together at a 2009 Christmas party hosted by economist Nouriel Roubini, who has been called “Dr. Doom” for his bearish economic predictions.

An October 2015 statement by Trump, which was cited by The Washington Post, read, “I am self-funding my campaign and therefore I will not be controlled by the donors, special interests and lobbyists who have corrupted our politics and politicians for far too long. I have disavowed all Super PAC’s, requested the return of all donations made to said PAC’s, and I am calling on all presidential candidates to do the same. The character of our country is only as strong as our leaders.”

Oh, goody, are we back to listening to the sage advise of Ron Paul?

Ron Paul: I Won't Vote For Trump

Paul downplayed any differences among the two candidates regarding bail outs, saying "Whether it's Hillary who has a close tie with Wall Street and Trump is not going to disappear and not protect Wall Street because the crash is coming and Trump will bail them out just like Hillary."

It was part of an internal talk series.

Reportedly, “Paul spoke about foreign policy, the economic recovery, and race relations, … and he was well received.”

Obviously he was not received well enough on his stances to receive their funding. Which is good.

Don't care about Cruz. He is a non-issue. Was before, is now.

For Trump it is right in line to play ball with his lenders and crony capitalists.

"Anti-Establishment." "Outsider." Bwahahaha!

This kind of reminds me about the debate where he contradicted his position on H1Bs, the position that was posted on his website. With Trump though, it's probably more accurate to refer to them as "positions".

Goldman has skilled labor? he must be poaching the executive kitchen staff and some limo drivers.

I disagree with their philosophy but there is no denying they are successful in lining their pockets and shaping the political landscape.

[phill4paul]

Doesn't matter. He could walk back ever single thing he has said with the exception of deporting brown people, and he pretty much has, and one issue-xenophobes will still foam at the mouth like rabid dogs in his defense. To them nothing else matters.
Hell, if he took on Hillary as a V.P. but still kept saying "Deport, build walls" they would say "Well, he's just trying to Make America Great Again and a V.P. doesn't really do anything."

Trump: I’m Not Selling Out By Hiring A Former Goldman Sachs Partner As Finance Chair

“He’s raising money for the party, and I’m gonna be putting up a lot of money. So this is money that’s going to the Republican National Committee.”

Donald Trump said in a radio interview on Friday that his supporters should not be concerned that his campaign is bringing on a former Goldman Sachs partner as its national finance chair.

The Trump campaign on Thursday announced that it had hired Steven Mnuchin, who co-founded Dune Capital Management and OneWest Bank Group LLC, to head up its finance operations. rump, who for much of the Republican primary railed against special interests and his opponents relying on donations from Wall Street, said Mnunchin’s job would be raising for the party as a whole.

“Well, I need somebody smart and he’s very smart as you know,” Trump told SiriusXM radio’s Breitbart News Daily on Friday morning when asked about the hiring. “He’s done some amazing deals. I actually did a deal with him in Hawaii, I built a hotel with him in Hawaii, he’s great. He’s good guy, he’s a solid guy, as you know, and the family is a wonderful family.”

“To have somebody like that the head — and when you say ‘selling out’ I’m not doing anything, in terms of, I’m gonna keep it more or less the same,” said Trump. “He’s raising money for the party, and I’m gonna be putting up a lot of money. So this is money that’s going to the Republican National Committee. As you know the Republicans, I think we can raise a billion dollars, but the Democrats are gonna have two billion dollars. And to raise a billion dollars for the party, you need somebody good. And I think he’s going to do a great job. But, again, I’m going to be spending a tremendous amount of money and I expect to.”

No Trump is not going to get the "best" people, (mod edit). He is going to get the "bestest" people. The "bestest" people with regard to foreign interventionism when it comes to American interests. The "bestest" people with regards to banking and the Federal Reserve. The "bestest" people for everything. You need to catch up.

So who would you pick? Maybe a Jesse Benton type? Yeah maybe if Ron Paul pays $73k for another endorsement he could run third party and win.

How can Hillary be "way ahead in fundraising?" Trump said he has 10 BILLION in the bank. Did Hillary raise more than 10 BILLION dollars? Trump supporters. Dumb as rocks.

Let's keep it civil everyone. Focus on the issues and the topic at hand, not each other.
