Trump: Establishment and special interests are killing the country
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/23/16 | Curt Mills

Posted on 04/23/2016 5:18:28 PM PDT by markomalley

Donald Trump said Saturday that political insiders are "killing the country" and urged backers to help him defeat them.

The Establishment and special interests are absolutely killing our country," Trump tweeted. "Stop them now."

The mogul released a new video laying out his beef with the so-called Establishment.

"The Establishment, lobbyists, and special interests are absolutely killing our country," Trump says in the video, "I will work for you."

"Our politicians are never going to do what's right for you — the people of our country" Trump continues. "They are only going to do what's right for them, meaning contributions to run for office now, and in the future."

Trump, though, conceded some pragmatism, conceivably trying to head off criticism that he's selling out.

"We'll work with the Establishment, but they're no longer going to control what's happening," Trump remarks.

"We're going to control it. And it's going to be good for you. And it's going to be my great honor."

But wait a minute. I thought Trump was pivoting back to his old liberal Democrat self now that he’s virtually won the primaries?

The United States Congress has been for sale for at least 50 years, and folks have been buying.

NOBODY in Federal Office is worth the powder and shot to blow them to hell.

If Donald Trump walks in the door of Cleveland with 1300 delegates, he gets to make the rules of what the Republican party will be.

If he walks in the White House, he gets to make the rules on what every Federal Agency does.

Who has power, and who doesn't.

Who has a job, and who doesn't.

Tenor, tone, direction and emphasis.

The special interests and corrupt politicians will always be there. The trick is to have the Federal Government not have the powers and loot to sell in the first place. Few and limited powers, you know, like the Constitution use to have. Certainly better than what we have now.

"Trump will NEVER govern against the interests of Trump Enterprises. Period."

I would rather see the country looted by a $10 billion enterprise than by every $10 billion enterprise in the world.

We are witness to the greatest transfer of capital stock in the history of man.

And the US Congress is content to skim off the top.

So if/when the GOPe backs Trump does that mean he sold out to the GOPe like Cruz did?

Goldman Sachs owns Cruz (and Hillary). Cruz (and Hillary) will do whatever their master commands.

Trump is taking on a very large and corrupt entity when he talks about “the establishment, lobbyists, and special interests.” This not only includes the political hacks in DC who benefit financially from the this corrupt entity, but the actual entity itself, international bankers, multi-national corporations and a bevy of others who fund these lobbyists and special interests.

He is making a supreme sacrifice for the American people; we need to support him 100%!

Great post!

I urge you and all freepers to google Charlie Black, Chairman of Prime Policy Group. Minutes ago, he was interviewed by Judge Jeanine. In all my many decades on this earth, and all my experience with attorneys in the real estate development business, this guy is the most smug, arrogant, condescending, sickening one of all. The long and the short of his interview with Judge Jeanine was, “lol (smugly with a grin)......uh, Judge, (snicker) we will pick the nominee and it won’t be Trump.........it will be Kasich’.

It’s rotten to the core bastards like Charlie Black, and there are many, that ARE the GOP and the DEM ESTABLISHMENT and that have international multi-national companies, governments and individuals cumulatively worth trillions as clients and pals that have corrupted our government. They literally OWN them!

Maybe Trump should have thought about that before he gave money to democrats? His words are hollow statements.
