And Trump will clearly do whatever is in the best interest of the Trump corporation as managed by his children. Where are you going to find this magical president who has never worked for a corporation or whose spouse or children have never worked for a corporation? You can make up some silly conflict of interest for anybody.
As a conservative, I have never woken up in a cold sweat after a nightmare about Goldman Sachs. Destroying Goldman Sachs has never been a top agenda item for me. Why are they such a boogeyman suddenly, other than as a convenient line of attack against Cruz?
When has Cruz ever gone against a conservative position and gone with something Goldman Sachs wanted instead?
If Cruz governs pro-life, pro-gun, anti-NSA surveillance, anti-same-sex-marriage, tax-cutting, budget-balancing, nominating Scalia-like judges, anti-Obamacare, etc., I couldn’t care less if he outright sends a billion-dollar check to Goldman Sachs. It’d be a worthy trade-off.
I've considered Goldman Sachs to be dangerous for a long time.
Among things I've read, this article has some interesting insights: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-20100405
Or, if you accept without question that anything Trump is involved in as just as dangerous to America as Goldman Sachs, I'll understand if you choose not to read it.
Wissa, there is simply no comparison between the Trump Organization, which is about real estate development, hospitality and lifestyle merchandising, and the Goldman Sachs investment banking firm. Look it up on Wikipedia. Trump had a few bad years when the bottom fell out of Atlantic city and Atlanta real estate markets, and also when he built a beautiful resort on the Scottish coastline and tried to get them not to build a windfarm in direct line of sight; otherwise, he builds it and they come — all over the world.
