Kicking Money Out of Politics: Trump Boots Koch Brother from Golf Course
Katie McHugh 2 Jan 20172
President-elect Donald Trump told a critical biographer and guest of billionaire David Koch to leave his West Palm Beach golf course on New Year’s Eve, forcing Koch to leave with him.
Trump’s gesture was another slight against the pro-amnesty, pro-“free trade” billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who opposed Trump during the Republican primary season and refused to help him during the general election. It also signals Trump will not necessarily play nice with the GOP political establishment and Beltway right.
The Kochs swooped in during the Tea Party revolt in 2010, training amateur political activists and trying to channel populist energy against the Obama administration into supporting the progressive-business alliance that wanted more cheap labor and lesser sentences for drug traffickers, under the umbrella term of “smaller government.”
But the “grassroots army… was not controllable,” as one former Koch staffer lamented, and the Kochs appeared curiously unwilling to make any concessions to Americans who wanted populist, nationalist policies, and relief from the relentlessly eroding forces of mass immigration and globalization. A majority of voters— some of whom saw more demographic change take place in their communities than many countries saw in a millennia—want immigration slashed in half or reduced to zero. Trump captured that energy and it propelled him to the White House, much to the Kochs’ and their network’s chagrin.

There is more to the story. The Koch brothers brought along the “author” who wrote that Trump had raped Melania. I believe that is the reason they were asked to leave. Now why would the Koch brothers bring that clown along unless they were up to no good?
Interesting dynamics.
I don't blame him, after this refer bait who wrote that book of slander, I would have kicked him in the Ocean from the Golf Course!!!
Thank you.
I hate to click to Breitbart articles.
I think you meant Ivanka.
Crap headline. Crap article....
That’s some good info.
“But the “grassroots army… was not controllable,” as one former Koch staffer lamented,”
Hilarious. This was the same army that propelled Trump to the win. And the same army they were too dumb to harness.
....wrote he raped the EX-wife Ivana.
I think you mean Ivana
the ex Ivana.
the ex Ivana.
I think you mean Ivana.
Accusing Trump of “raping” his ex wife, Ivana Trump, was a false media accusation arising early in the Republican primaries—and a weapon the Democratic Party planned to use in the general election after Fox News’ Megyn Kelly and the Daily Beast “rushed it on air” and into print, using Hurt’s book, before bothering to check with Ivana about its truth.
The media tried to paint them as right wing activist but in reality, the Kochs are very much pragmatic Libertarians, not cultural Conservatives.
It may be hard to accomplish but we need to find a way to come up with a viable Third party. The Republican Elite will still cut Trumps throat if given the chance.

Yes, It was Ivana. That is who I meant but sometimes I get them mixed up name-wise. Thanks for the correction.
