Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to appoint cabinet members with significant personal wealth, arguing he doesn’t “want a poor person” in charge of the economy.

Trump was speaking about Gary Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs banker the president appointed as his chief economic advisor—despite promising to “drain the swamp” during his presidency.

“I love all people,” Trump said during a campaign-style rally in Cedar Rapids, IA. “Rich or poor. But in those particular positions I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense?”

And the crowd cheered and cheered and cheered. Did they beat anyone up at the rally? I didn't watch.

1. But I don't want a morally bankrupt person in charge of the economy, Donny Two Scoops.

3. Trickle down economics

"A poor man never gave me a job before."

They believe it. They think it will happen. They are unfamiliar with facts and history. And they won't bother learning either.
