This week's Facebook post for Trump voters (Goldman Sachs edition)

This is based on a Daily Kos post today. I wonder if any Trump voters look in the mirror and see a Charms Blow Pop inexplicably staring back at them?

Remember how incensed Candidate Trump was on the stump about Hillary Clinton's speeches to Goldman Sachs executives? Oh, it was a scandal and a caution, it was! Goldman Sachs was just the worst according to Candidate Trump, and I'm willing to bet a shiny nickel that for a number of people, Candidate Trump's tough talk against Wall Street was enough for them to put him in charge of the henhouse.

Well, guess what? Turns out President Trump isn't anything like Candidate Trump when it comes to Goldman Sachs and other high-flying financial wizards who are experts at privatizing their profits (and not paying taxes on them) and socializing their losses (so that the American people can pay for their failures as well as their successes). If you're retired or thinking about retiring some day in the next 50 years, and you voted for Donald Trump, you may have made a mistake.
