Trump repeating some behaviors he criticized in Clinton

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump spent the past two years attacking rival Hillary Clinton as crooked, corrupt, and weak. But some of those attacks seem to have already slipped into the history books.

From installing Wall Street executives in his Cabinet to avoiding news conferences, the president-elect is adopting some of the same behavior for which he criticized Clinton during their fiery presidential campaign.

Here's a look at what Trump said then — and what he's doing now:

___

GOLDMAN SACHS

Then: "I know the guys at Goldman Sachs," Trump said at a South Carolina rally in February, when he was locked in a fierce primary battle with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. "They have total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton."

Trump bragged often of being corrupt. He is. She's not. Yooooge differences.

like a true sociopath, he was just saying whatever worked, whatever got a reaction out of the audience.

and the media amped it up as if it were true and legitimate news and a real concern.

that goes for many of the slanders and lies against hillary.

the media is heinous in this regard, though they couldn't help themselves because they had already been doing that to hillary for decades.

is just as responsible for this shit - they repeated the fake news over and over,
GEM$NBComcast has an ad running showing Joe Scum saying Groper Don the Con was no longer going to investigate Hillary Clinton - he never had any such authority - but they repeat it over and over.

If I were Hillary Clinton I'd sue them all

The more he goes along the more he is doing the very things he insinuated Clinton would do, but at a much worse level.

I hope to hell the media, and the Sanders Warren wing is noticing and soon will be bringing the story more to the public.

I'd like to see this brought forth by a more well known outlet than Bigstory.
