Trump's Crony Capitalism
 

Trump, Cabinet could avoid millions in taxes thanks to this little-known law

Trump has managed to select one of the richest cabinets. This article gives an insight on the perks of joining Trump's cabinet.

This is of particular importance to understand the magnitude of the billionaire's welfare about to be absorbed by the tax payers.
No wonder Romney is groveling at Trump's feet. :mad:

This is just the beginning and he's not even in office. We entered a new golden age of capitalism with our 1980 election and survived the Great Recession. Why you're mad may be why TJ is happy. It's going to take an economic catastrophe to loosen the ever tightening grip corporate capitalism has and Trump takes us a lot further down that path than Clinton would've.

God forbid that Trump surround himself with folks who know what success looks like. :rolleyes:

While I'll give Trump credit in convincing some competent people to work for him, it's anything but clear that these appointees will have the interest of the Trump base at heart (or if even he does, as opposed to just using them (as he tends to do with many people with whom he has relationships as evidenced by over 3,500 lawsuits against him)), other than through tax breaks for themselves trickling down upon the base (if you buy into that discredited model).

I suspect some of those competent people are glad to get on board for the purpose of keeping a close eye on Trump.

They are on board to run things.

Trump used the red state voters to get in. They will use Trump to govern.

They mean to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

It's not all bad. There's going to be no registration of the Muslims, or that sort of thing. We have Eric Trump's assurances on that.

Probably only a relatively small number of deportations, for show.

I think though that there will be more war. Lot's of money in war.

... lest he become the populist he promised to be or the Democrat he had been for decades.

That's one way it might play out.

Another way is that Trump turns out to be a real populist and forces the Republican Party to the left, while the defeat of Hillary Clinton empowers the Bernie Sanders people to force the Democrats to the left.

Either way, I see Trump's win over Clinton to ultimately be a win for the left.:D

I'd lay off the hallucinogens. His cabinet picks should have made it clear that he isn't the populist that he portrayed himself to be for the sake of the working class vote.

That doesn't mean shit.

What matters is the legislative agenda that he pushes once he gets in office.

ah ANOTHER Bernie Bro legacy: Goldman Sachs moneychangers swingin' it with the P*ssy Grabber.

thanks TJ

And you think that with this crew, it's going to be all about throwing money at the masses? Creating union jobs for the flannel and camo crowd?

We shall see, but I am not very hopeful. I think the whole Carrier thing was stunt, a marketing ploy.....public relations. A bone to the base to keep them grinning until inauguration day. Then this too shall pass. Just like the e-mails, Benghazi and whatever else he is back pedaling on.

No shit.:rolleyes:

How about the Education billionaire fascist broad wanting to give public funds to religious schools?
Probably only the white ones.....

Well played!

I'm not as cynical as you.

Which is unusual because I'm usually the head cynic everywhere I go.

I think the scenario that Trump turns out to be a true Populist has a a good 50% probability.

With the other 50% being the nuclear option of him making things so bad that it brings about an American version of the Bolshevic Revolution.

Either way, I see it as a win. :)

Cynicism is the hard shell we grow to protect the romantic within and his cabinet does not support your odds.

I've already explained how I think Trump will treat his cabinet in my inimitable style via youtube video. But if you missed it, here it is again.

Sure, the Bolshevik revolution worked out so well. Especially the Stalinist phase. Oddly, never evolved to end-stage communism as promised, unless Kelpto-Putininst capitalism is a phase on the way.....

I don't think you really don't care if what you say makes any sense or not.

He needs them more than they need him. Without a good cabinet/staff, he's phucked, being as clueless as he is in most things.

That's for sure. He's so clueless he's going to be President of the United States of America. :eek::):cool:

It might be interesting to google "Trump will never be President" and see how much shit pops up over the last year and a half.

^^ Let's not hype this Trump victory too much, this was a fluke and no one really knows where he will take this country.
Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders could have beaten him easily.

I guess the irony of abolishing "Comon Core" is lost on you.
