Despite railing against Goldman Sachs loudly and frequently during the campaign, President-elect Trump has turned to three Goldman Sachs executives to fill posts in his administration.

They work for him.

He does not work for them.

Goldman Sachs was consulted by Barry Soetoro 6 weeks before he took office and asked who they would recommend for cabinet positions.

He implemented their list nearly 100%

I never attacked Ted Cruz over Goldman Sachs unlike Roger Stone and others on here.

Wonderful pick. The establishment is furious they aren’t political hacks that they can control with bribes paid to their wives and siblings. This is the greatest thing I have seen in my life!!

And? There are good and bad folks in any institution/corporation/organization.

Do you have reason to believe that he is not picking quality folks who will do the job and follow his agenda or are you another concern troll trying to stir up crap like the "Russia subverted our electoral process" low-lifes?

Do something useful to show you're not 100% troll material:

Donate to FR

These picks suck. If we can’t banish G&S from the government sphere now, it will never be done. They will continue to hold the reins after Trump moves on.

Repeating this like a mantra doesn’t change the fact that Trump is rewarding GS scoundrels (which he blasted during his campaign) with highest posts.

This is NOT good.

Cue the simplistic reasoning and handwaving that there are no good financial experts outside GS...

It is no consolation that Hilliary would have equally meant a GS financial regime.

And they signed contracts to keep from becoming lobbyists and other self-interests. Wake me when he picks Neil Bush to head finances.

I am with you. In the primary, I said just because someone is from Goldman or has in the past does not automatically taint them. There is good and bad there. Lots of globalists but plenty of just plain smart people doing their thing. I don’t know these people but I I don’t see a reason to bash trump about it unless they start pushing NWO crap.

I voted for him. Implicit in that is my confidence in his ability to hire the right people.

So far, so good.

“We have a globalized work force, so when I need to go out and hire the incremental worker, I go out and look around the world and see where that incremental worker is available.”...

That’s just great.

Now the FR capitalists and free trade at any cost folk will come crawling out.

WHAT HE MEANS is the cheapest, Sh.ttiest workers he can find that are breathing.

Like the Indian graphics dept set up for Lazard when I worked in the NYC Graphics dept for them.

We had to correct ALMOST EVERY document they worked on and after three years it closed down.

MANY others did not. Just took the sub par work and pocketed the coin.

This is a great pick.

Because I wanted someone worth $200 million dollars and sounds like a YUGE one world govt guy to be picked for a position /s

So do we like or hate Goldman Sachs at FR these days? It is so hard to keep up with the changing winds sometimes.

We like smart people. The COO of GS sounds pretty darn smart.

I get it! Good: Mnuchin, Cohn, and Bannon. Bad: Heidi Cruz.

Heidi Cruz intended to be our next Hillry ... Her VAT tax was so very European.

In time you may be proven right. If so, I will have been too patient.

Lets see how it works out.

Trump has his goals. I think he’ll achieve them.

Surely you must realize that a good capable CEO and a terrible incompetent CEO will achieve different things with the same people.
