Trump Says He Doesnt Want Poor People In Charge Of The Economy



President Donald Trump, addressing criticism that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and others in his Cabinet are too rich, said at an Iowa rally Wednesday that he doesn’t want poor people in charge of the economy.

“These are people that are great, brilliant business minds, and that’s what we need, that’s what we have to have so the world doesn’t take advantages of us,” Trump, told a crowd of about 6,000 in Cedar Rapids. “We can’t have the world taking advantage of us anymore. 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? Does that make sense?

“If you insist, I’ll do it, but I like it better this way.”

And the rich people in power will take away all access to education, healthcare, housing, infrastructure, and natural resources for themselves. All social safety nets will be discarded and any tax dollars collected will be redistributed to the wealthy because they are brilliant and deserve to be richer.

Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Of course it makes sense to Trump and his spawn.

Honestly, just turn everything his administration is proposing into an ad with his own words....but change one " We can't have the GOP taking advantage of us any more". Start calling him a carnival barking thief.
