Goldman CEO takes lead on Wall Street in slamming Trump travel ban
Reuters ^ | January 30, 2017 | Olivia Oran

Goldman Sachs Group Inc Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein became the first major Wall Street leader to speak out against President Donald Trump's order to halt arrivals from several Muslim-majority countries.

In a voicemail to employees on Sunday, Blankfein said diversity was a hallmark of Goldman's success, and if the temporary freeze became permanent, it could create "disruption" for the bank and its staff.

Yup, the self-identifying libs are floating to the top, as turds do.

It’s long past time for a lib-O-suction.

Trump should agree to take them.

And then settle them all in Westchester and in Stamford, Connecticut.

I’ve found that to keep from overdosing on all this win that I need to start focusing on the other side, e.g. the likes of Lloyd Blankfein.

i.e. I need to focus on all the fail on the other side. When I OD on the fail side, I’ll just switch to focusing on the win side. And repeat.

So, the members of Trump’s administration who were with Goldman Sachs, really wanted out to get out of there.

This kind of crap is completely irresponsible.

To the wall street CEO:

You may invite a person to live in your basement if you wish. But then, you are responsible for feeding, clothing, and sheltering that person.

However, you may NOT invite a person to live in MY basement. In this second case, your misplaced desire to be a social warrior is putting MY life in danger.

My life is more important than your stupid social warrior agenda.

Goldman should have been put out of business back in 2008 instead of Lehman Brothers.

But there were and are too many Goldman people in the federal government.

Goldman needs to attack and discredit Trump at every opportunity as Trump is the single largest obstacle to their New World Order. Heaven help Goldman if Trump ever audits the fed.

Understand that there is absolutely ZERO chance that a criminal illegal alien or terrorist will cause any problems in Lloyd’s neighborhood.

Goldman Sachs CEO, volunteer to take a refugee family into your home and feed and educate them for life. That’s my take from the Rust Belt that you Kingmakers ignored and plundered for decades.

I’ve got it under control. I’ll be fine...

I’m slowly building up my tolerance to immense joy and pleasure.

Trump is president of the entire US.

Wall street is just a small part.
