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.

GO TRUMP!!! The “author” is a liar and the Kocks are for DRUGS!!
Ivana was his wife...Ivanka is his daughter.
Drugs, open borders and abortions are what Libertarians like the Koch brothers stand for!!! GOOD RIDDANCE!!
It would be wiser to clean up this party as three is a crowd. Every time a libertarian runs the Reps lose and Dems win the White House.
Guess we better get used to this. I have no problem with it. that biographer is right up with Rosie O’Don..

Yep, the Koch brothers need a reminder, a painful one.
The ex wife is Ivanka. Ivana is the daughter.
It’s good to see you too, dear pax! :)
