'He Is The Swamp': Trump Gets Blasted on Twitter for Goldman Sachs Hypocrisy

Give @realDonaldTrump some credit! He's so committed to finding Clinton's Goldman Sachs speeches he put their guy in his cabinet!

On the campaign trail Donald Trump threw a lot of shade on Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton for their associations with Goldman Sachs, much to the delight of his supporters. Now it seems like he’s had a change of heart. With former Goldman Sachs partner Steve Bannon already on Trump’s team, he chose Goldman Sachs veteran Steve Mnuchin to be his nominee for Treasury Secretary. Now Trump is considering Goldman Sachs COO Gary Cohn as a potential director for the Office of Management and Budget. Naturally, critics on Twitter couldn’t let something like this go without shoveling some snark. Here’s a selection of some of the more entertaining tweets.

Why don't we just merge Goldman Sachs with the federal government and be done with it?

I'm old enough to remember when Ted Cruz's wife working for Goldman Sachs meant that Cruz was a corrupt Wall Street insider.

The tweet Thor is referring to:

Was there another loan that Ted Cruz FORGOT to file. Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer!

So Trump blasted HRC for taking money from Wall Street and he appoints two Goldman Sachs guys to Treasury? He is the swamp

Mr Trump, this is bullshit. Can you hire someone who doesn't work for Goldman Sachs?

What about that swamp? Huh? https://t.co/t2QkXsrtBy

Oh, you thought he really meant all that stuff he said during the campaign?
