Goldman Sachs must be the real life model for the evil organization, Rittenhouse, on Timeless. I did not expect Trump to go here. But the institution is so deeply emeshed in the workings of finance and govt that it is likely Bernie Sanders could not have swept it out. Still, it is obvious that POTUSE Trump did not mean this particular swamp.

I mostly get to choose with whom I do business.

I prefer U.S. Bank.

So you were for Donald Trump from the start and you thought that Mike Pence was a great choice from the start? Just trying to gauge your analysis skills to see if I should care.

Don’t see the bearing of your question since I don’t care if you do or not.

Yes, I have been a Trump supporter for a long, long time.

I just don’t care for Goldman at all. They have a conflict of interest.
