Wall Street Executives Flock to Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 10 Jun 2024 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 06/10/2024 11:11:26 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Wall Street executives have started flocking to former President Donald Trump after feeling the brunt of the Biden administration’s anti-business policies.

Politico reported a host Wall Street executives, many whom have previously sworn off Trump, have started to embrace the former president’s reelection campaign.

Hal Lambert, the founder of Point Bridge Capital and a GOP donor, said, “I don’t know that anyone really believed he was a threat to democracy.” Lambert had backed Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) presidential campaign but not supports Trump.

Lambert is not the only one.

Hedge fund executive Nelson Peltz, hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, and Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, have embraced Trump.

Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, and Citadel’s Ken Griffin are starting to consider Trump.

John Castimatidis, the New York radio station owner and real estate investor, said Trump “is a much better choice than what we have now. Just check out the four years that Trump was in office versus the three years that President Biden was in office.”

Um no they don't.

Wall Street is 1000% Biden/Democrats, since Trump won't let them recoup their losses through public funds money laundering schemes.

It would take a mountainous, gigantic, huge shift in Wall Street donation patterns to even make R contributions even with D contributions.

D’s have been the recipient of 90% plus of Wall Street money for decades.

A couple of rich guys donate to Trump and suddenly Wall Street has changed sides. LOL.

Dems talk up the rabble by saying they are going to go after the rich, while taking the huge contributions, and passing legislation that allows them to unfairly get even richer.

“The State of New York will crush any business figures who express an incorrect opinion.”

I don’t think anyone seriously believes that. The NY prosecutions were Donald Trump specials. No one other than Donald Trump would ever be charged with such stupid crimes.

Similarly, the Michael Flynn prosecutions were similar. Noone other than the fixer for the Trump administration would be prosecuted for saying I don’t remember when the FBI agent conducting the interview believed him.

Similarly, the bizarre Ukraine impeachment was specific to Donald Trump. Joe Biden admits proudly that he behaved in a far more inappropriate way with Ukrainian officials than trump. Trump Charged. Biden Applauded.

Similarly, Biden’s treatment of classified documents was far more careless and with far less authority to have them ( Biden was a senator who coudl not declassify). Trump was president and could dclassify Trump prosecuted, Biden is just a sweet ol’ grandpa. Whe wan’t to charge sweet ol’ grandpa.

Similarly, HRC paid for a malicious and false Steele dossier and laundered the money through he law firm, Perkins Coie..Listed as legal fees. It was clearly designed to influence US elections. As a resident of NY, surely Alvin Bragg brought at least 34 feolony counts against her. It was exactly what he charged Trump with and even worse because HRC paid for known lies about Trump to influence the election.

Similarly, HRC “Wiped with a cloth” her computer conatining all the email she did not want DOJ to see while that computer was under subpoena. Not even a wrist slap. Not to mention that she unabiguously violated federal law by have a secret server for her emails.

The point here is that nothing a deep state member does sticks to them unless the deep state decides they must go.

OTOH, anything an opponent of the deep state does sticks to them hard. In fact, if they don’t do anything illegal the deep state will just make shit up.

So NY cuck businessmen can rest comfortable. NY prosecutors only abuse the law, violate their oath of office , and perjurs themsleves to the court if the defendante is Donald Trump

“Lambert had backed Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) presidential campaign but not supports Trump”

Check out the third to the last word “not.“. I use voice activation input and many times see that auto correct has changed the positive/negative meaning of my statement. If typing, the W and the T are not next to each other Changing “now” to “not” is one of the easiest ones, but there are several others..

My phone has still not realized that Trump should be started with an upper case T. We Conservatives have a mountain of obstacles to overcome

Wall St Executives flocks to Donald Trump

If the presumptive Republican nominee were not Pres Trump, I would not cast a vote for President.

Having friends that have worked Wall St for over 30 years, the very large majority of worker bees on Wall St are Conservative.

The management, high level corporate scumbags, folks that started hedge fund, etc are the prototypical hypocrite, limousine liberal that drops million of illegals on the country, for example, as long as all they do is mow lawns at the Hampton homes.

I firmly believe that liberals, college kids - academics - affluent WHITE liberals, are the root cause of all things bad in this country. All of it funded by Wall St sccumbags.
