Icahn: Sure, Trump Let's do This
cnbc.com ^ | 7 Aug 2015 | Everett Rosenfeld

Posted on 08/10/2015 5:24:43 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Pundits have largely deemed Thursday's debate a misstep for real estate mogul Donald Trump, but he may have won over billionaire investor Carl Icahn.

The activist investor tweeted Friday afternoon that he had decided to accept a Trump offer for Treasury secretary. Still, he noted that "the methods of electing our corporate and political leaders have become completely dysfunctional."

First Rev Graham, now Carl Icahn....

Can’t they see Trump is not a conservative?

Trump has lost millions of $$ with the cancellation of his show, The Apprentice. He also has a Mexican mafia narco-trafficante contract on his head. And idiots are still claiming that he is doing this for Hillary.

Liars!

If he did indeed have any other agenda aside from saving the country, I don’t think he and Cruz would be on as pleasant terms as they are. I’m sure Cruz would see through it and call Trump out. That’s the main reason I discount the Hillary ringer talk.

This guy is like no other. Just handing out cabinet positions on twitter. I am dying.

I can see the GOPe, like the old lady, “that’s not the way it works.” Lol.

Excellent. Not only getting on board, but bringing up a crucial issue- the vulnerability to fraud in our election systems, of his own. I wonder if the disgusting behavior he’s seen from Trump’s detractors is what convinced him. God Willing, more people who have ‘’made their pile’’ will step up to try and save America before it’s too late. We are in a fight for our very survival.

Carl Icahn is a total POS.

He virtually destroyed my hometown with a takeover and shutdown of a paper mill that was making money and providing many, many well-paying jobs. Apparently, it wasn’t making ENOUGH money fast enough.

Be careful what you wish for, people.

You lie. Graham said some nice things about Trump, but he did NOT endorse Trump in ANY way.

Trump followers like you are such twisters of truth.

Those who claim Trump is doing this for Hillary, are so far removed from any knowledge of finances. They do not understand that $10 Billion in assets means next 100 generations of Trumps will EACH inherit $100 Million. Why would Trump want to go through all this trouble of running for president just to help Hillary? At age 69? While living the most luxurious lifestyle? These people have no clue.

You are bent out of shape because a Christian leader said nice things about Trump. Get used to it.

Maybe this is a joke. Icahn as Treasury Secretary?

Here’s what he did to a company I used to work for:
