The Heidi Cruz matter is one thing... but the more blatant double standard comes directly from Trump’s campaign:
in the last TV ad he specifically showed GS CEO Blankfein as a globalist villain.
Text of the Trump ad:
“It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the [Blankfeins face shows] pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.”
Mnuchin has a ‘past’ at GS. For arguments sake... fine leave it that. But Cohn is GS current President! To hire him is blatant hypocrisy.
It it really is Trumps son in law Jared Kushner pulling in these Wall Street cronies and kingpins then I am very concerned about whether Trump (who I think to be overall a good man) is really calling the shots and not being taken advantage of and given bad advice by Kushner.

I have full faith and confidence that Trump will fire these guys in a hot second if they don't do exactly what he wants done. Look at the rapid fall of Christie or the 3 campaign managers Trump fired on the way to the white house. Trump expects results and no mater how personally he feels connected to someone he has no problem tossing them out on their asses when they don't do their jobs properly.
