Trump: Poor People Shouldn't Run the Economy

[GMDino]

And I kind of agree.  You should have people who understand how the economy works making decisions.

But that doesn't mean they have to be billionaires.  And it certainly doesn't mean it should be people who got money from daddy and made horrible decisions but helped shape laws that made it impossible for them to fail because they already had money.

Quote:



The president explained that Ross and his economic adviser Gary Cohn "had to give up a lot to take these jobs" and that Cohn in particular, a former president of Goldman Sachs, "went from massive pay days to peanuts."

Trump added: "And I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular positions I just don't want a poor person. Does that make sense?"

File this under rich guy who thinks only rich guys are smart and successful.
