Barrack Says Trump Will End ‘Negativism’ at Advisers’ Urging

Bloomberg

Colony Capital Inc. Chairman Tom Barrack said Monday that those around Donald Trump are urging him to “move on from all the negativism and find the little degrees we can move as a group.”

“He’ll do it,” said Barrack in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Erik Schatzker. “He’s got very good people around him now who are saying, ‘Look, you’re better than that.’”

Barrack, a longtime friend of Trump’s, offered his view after another weekend of clashes between the Republican presidential nominee and the news media.

After the New York Times reported Saturday that people close to Trump and his campaign described him as “exhausted, frustrated and still bewildered by fine points of the political process and why his incendiary approach seems to be sputtering,” Trump fired back in a series of messages to his nearly 11 million Twitter followers.

Barrick was all in for Privatizing Social Security and what he called reigning in entitlements,which is a buzz word for zero funding for Health Care,zero funding for Schools and Roads or any infrastructure. Thought I was watching a Ayn Rand interview.
