According to the old cliché, opposites attract. And there may be no greater example of this than the odd, interesting, and for the country beneficial relationship between Larry Fink and Donald Trump.
Yes, you read that right. Fink and Trump.
A match made in heaven? No, to be more precise, made on Wall Street, with the uber-globalist BlackRock chief of ESG fame once serving as Trump’s money manager, and the GOP populist former president (and according to polling, likely future prez) still seeking out Fink for insights into the economy, The Post has learned.

This will launch Qanon in to the realm of 9-D chess.
If Larry Finck invested in DEI drive enterprises it’s not a smear to say so.
Yes, he is. Fink is on Trump’s short list.
So glad I’m staying home in November. Nobody represents legacy Americans anymore.
Keep you enemies close. If appointed, all his comms will be monitored. Before appointment you get to do a BGI. I can’t think of a better way to set up an enemy. The real test is what happens 6 weeks after appointment.
6D chess my friend.
“Keep you enemies close. If appointed, all his comms will be monitored. Before appointment you get to do a BGI. I can’t think of a better way to set up an enemy. The real test is what happens 6 weeks after appointment.”
You are very wise, much more so than me.
Just as bad, he’s got Jamie Dimon floated.
Ther are rumors everywhere. The last one posted stated Dimon of JP Morgan is Trumps pick for Fed chairman…..excuse me, JP Morgan has paid billions $$$ in fines for manipulating the corrupted Gold pricing markets.
Over the years, JP Morgan has settled out of court ( the cases never made it to a public trial) for market manipulation in many sectors, commodities, silver and gold.
“ JPMorgan Chase & Co. Agrees To Pay $920 Million in Connection with Schemes to Defraud Precious Metals and U.S. Treasuries Markets”
Just one case, the gold manipulation fraud case a year or so ago was highest on record-$$$ billions.
You can’t fix full qtard

“ Suppressing silver prices has been official U.S. policy since 1965

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
In the July 18 edition of Gold Newsletter, editor and publisher Brien Lundin wrote about the failure of silver prices to keep up with gold prices. “I’m not the kind of conspiracy buff that many of my friends in the industry are,” Lundin wrote, “but it’s hard to look at silver and not see some hidden hands at work (especially considering who holds so much of the metal in both physical and paper forms while acting as custodian for the biggest silver exchange-traded fund).”
Of course Lundin meant investment bank JPMorganChase and silver ETF SLV.
Why anyone would invest in silver or the other precious and monetary metals with JPMorganChase can be explained only by ignorance.
In the last decade the bank has pleaded guilty to five felonies and has paid more than a billion dollars in government fines and civil lawsuit settlements, including a fine of $920 million for manipulation of the monetary metals markets by some of its traders:
But silver market manipulation long has been bigger than even JPMorganChase.
Indeed, silver price suppression has been U.S. government policy since President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Coinage Act of 1965, which removed silver from the country’s money.
Signing the act into law, Johnson proclaimed: “If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. Treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content”:

It’s not known how long the U.S. government’s strategic silver inventory lasted after 1965 and how much was used for executing the price-suppression policy Johnson proclaimed, but eventually collectors and investors did exactly what the president warned would bring them no profit. They removed the silver coins from circulation and hoarded them as the steady inflation of the U.S. dollar made them worth far more than their face value.
JPMorganChase Bank long has been a primary dealer in U.S. government securities and has been particularly close to the U.S. Treasury Department, so when SLV was launched in 2006 and the bank became custodian of the fund’s silver, suspicion of government involvement with the bank and the ETF was fairly aroused. (The bank now is also custodian of the metal of the major gold ETF, GLD, prompting more fair suspicion.)
After SLV was founded, complaints that JPMorganChase was manipulating the silver market grew loud enough that the bank felt obliged to answer them publicly.
First the bank’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, said the bank had no interest of its own in the monetary metals and traded them only for clients. Then in 2012 the head of the bank’s commodity desk, Blythe Masters, went on CNBC to emphasize this denial particularly in regard to silver.
“There’s been a tremendous amount of speculation, particularly in the blogosphere, on this topic,” Masters told the CNBC reporter. “I think the challenge is that it represents a misunderstanding of the nature of our business. ... Our business is a client-driven business where we execute on behalf of clients to achieve their financial and risk-management objectives. ... We have offsetting positions. We have no stake in whether prices rise or decline.”
See: https://www.gata.org/node/11216
But since CNBC is a mainstream financial news organization, its reporter failed to put the critical follow-up question to Masters: Do JPMorganChase’s clients trading silver and other monetary or precious metals include governments, particularly the U.S. government, directly or indirectly?
The answer to that question was provided inadvertently 10 years later, and barely noticed by mainstream financial news organizations, during the trial of the JPMorganChase traders charged with and convicted of “spoofing” the monetary metals futures markets. In the very last paragraph of its July 31 report about the trial, Bloomberg News reported:
“Another set of important clients were central banks, which trade gold for their reserves and are among the biggest players in the bullion market. At least 10 central banks held their metal in vaults run by JPMorgan in 2010, according to documents disclosed in court”:
A mechanism for governments to use for surreptitious manipulation of the monetary metals futures markets was already in place at CME Group, operator of all the major futures exchanges in the United States. It is called the Central Bank Incentive Program, whereby CME Group exchanges provide volume trading discounts to governments, central banks, and international organizations for trading all futures contracts on CME Group’s exchanges.
CME Group’s master statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission says: “The customer base of our derivatives exchanges includes professional traders, financial institutions, institutional and individual investors, major corporations, manufacturers, producers, governments, and central banks”:

……….
You are an idiot who thinks he is smart trying to go out of his way to justify pure stupidity. I don’t know if the story is even real. If it is, prepare for a second failed term if he even overcomes the voting fraud he never tried to stop. A smart president would put Larry fink in prison with all the other blackrockers and vanguarders and the others who tried to get him killed
there’s only one way for them to recover that outrageous expense.
Hell no.
As someone who has worked on Wall Street, I say “hell no” to Fink.
I don’t personally like Jamie Dimon but I think he would be a good choice for Treasury Secretary. I think he is a good manager and has good instincts.
Yeah, so let me ask you then, what song played at the end of the R convention? Is that just a random song? What does it mean/imply then?
Also, why U MAD, BRO?
People have written off Trump 1,000s of times so far. He’s still standing.
And your comment about he didn’t try to stop voter fraud. Ha! He was a broken record on the topic! That’s why the media says he never “accepted” the results of the 2020 election.
You want to rail against someone, try Pence, or Romney, there’s a long list of RINOs who only know how to LOSE.
Apparently you number among those who do not represent legacy Americans, if you are unwilling to go vote.
I myself will wait to hear this from Trump. Not the NYP with a column with no name.
Have never heard Larry Fink floated and I seriously doubt this.
People are sure working hard to bring us a Kamala debacle.
If Trump doesn’t give these people a seat at the table, he doesn’t win. That’s the system. Can he still make life better for the average American? Of course...if he is allowed to win. He has to gain the office again, first. But the President is not a King.
You expect moi to participate in a corrupt political system that only benefits foreign interests?
No thanks.
The illegal aliens will cancel out my vote anyway
