Kicking Money Out of Politics: Trump Boots Koch Brother from Golf Course
Katie McHugh 2 Jan 20172
President-elect Donald Trump told a critical biographer and guest of billionaire David Koch to leave his West Palm Beach golf course on New Year’s Eve, forcing Koch to leave with him.
Trump’s gesture was another slight against the pro-amnesty, pro-“free trade” billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who opposed Trump during the Republican primary season and refused to help him during the general election. It also signals Trump will not necessarily play nice with the GOP political establishment and Beltway right.
The Kochs swooped in during the Tea Party revolt in 2010, training amateur political activists and trying to channel populist energy against the Obama administration into supporting the progressive-business alliance that wanted more cheap labor and lesser sentences for drug traffickers, under the umbrella term of “smaller government.”
But the “grassroots army… was not controllable,” as one former Koch staffer lamented, and the Kochs appeared curiously unwilling to make any concessions to Americans who wanted populist, nationalist policies, and relief from the relentlessly eroding forces of mass immigration and globalization. A majority of voters— some of whom saw more demographic change take place in their communities than many countries saw in a millennia—want immigration slashed in half or reduced to zero. Trump captured that energy and it propelled him to the White House, much to the Kochs’ and their network’s chagrin.

The vile Koch Crony capitalists
are the enemy .
A they are the cheap labor express lords and Trump kicked them out.
Let’s send this scum into overseas exile along with their
smear merchant pal that brought as an insult to Trump.
Trump knows his enemies well and the sleazy Koch traitors are it.
Sorry, but this is a wet dream. You're never going to be able to kick money out of politics.
I don’t know all that much about the Koch Bros, but I did hear what you say before. They are definitely not conservative.
Horsepuckey. Trump himself is as crony capitalist as they get.
However, I'm more concerned with him as president. I am hopeful after seeing his appointments, and if he can keep our country safe, I'll eat crow and enjoy it.
Keeping our beloved republic safe is more important than the ego of me or any other American.
The Kochs are good people, not the enemy
Ivana, his ex not Ivanka, his daughter.
How can you say the Kochs “are good people”........?????
Libertarians are as stupid/clueless to me as the evil liberals....
“No, it was Ivana. From the article:”
Yes, you guys are correct. No matter though the clown should not be allowed on Trump property for writing such nonsense.
You might notice that some Never Trumpers and Bushbot Jebites are posting to this thread today.
yes that crowd never shuts .
Trump himself is as crony capitalist as they get.
Wrong. Trump is a complete pragmatist who works with whatever system is in effect. He would like to change at least some of this.
The Koch Brothers are the ones who want this system to remain as is, if not worsen.
The Kochs are neocon crony capitalists. This conservative does not consider them good for the country.
Sadly.
The Koch bros were behind that cheap labor Paul Ryan vicious media attack on Trump in mid Oct along with the Gope lobbyist crew and the Bushes crooks.
These cheap labor scum lords need to exiled to the Cayman Islands for 8 years.
The Kochs are neocon crony capitalists. This conservative does not consider them good for the country.
Very few people have done as much for this country as the Kochs over the last few years.
Appears to be a correct categorization by definition.
Hey, ES! It’s good to see you.
Happy New Year!
Thank you.
I hate to click to Breitbart articles.
______________
why?
I never used to click on them until someone here suggested I install Adblock. It’s free and works great.
Because unless you have adblock software the scripting never stops, it’s nearly impossible to view them unless you turn off scripting.
“I hate to click to Breitbart articles.”
Likewise. Get deluged with ads every time I go there. NOT interested in having my reading time hijacked that way.
