When Will Donald Trump Die?

Everyone is dying, left and right. Karl Malden. Steve McNair. Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson. Robert McNamara is gone.

May you and your stupid ambtion rot in hell, Mac …

Why not Donald Trump? He’s going to die eventually …

The Donald’s favorite line was, “You’re fired!” He’d fire a dude on TV for failing to sell enough ice cream on some NY city street corner.

I can certainly take the Donald’s program a lot farther than he ever could. Just make me President for one day.

Here is a new article from Barry Ritholtz from Andrew Cockburn taking the time to list the various Goldman- Sachs and Citigruppe employees who now have high level government positions:

• Robert Hormats, Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs, is to be installed as Under Secretary of Economics, Business, and Agricultural Affairs. (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Jacob Lew, Chief Financial Officer of Citigroup Alternative Investments Group, as Deputy Secretary of State
(Lew’s dept. lost $509 million in the Q1 2008)
(You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Michael Froman, Citigroup, Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs. Froman was formerly Chief of Staff to Robert Rubin at Treasury, before following him to Citi. (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Froman’s deputy, David Lipton, ran Citi’s global country risk management effort. (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Lewis Alexander, Citigroup’s chief economist and now Counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Neal Wolin, President and COO, Hartford Insurance Company, Property and Casualty Group now Deputy Treasury Secretary (Hartford received $3.4 billion in TARP funds). (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Gary Gensler, Goldman Sachs partner, now Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Note: It was Gensler who was a key proponent (as Clinton’s Assistant Secretary of Treasury) in pushing the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Mark Patterson, Goldman Sach’s lobbyist, now Treasury Chief of Staff (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

• Linda Robertson, Enron lobbyist, Chief PR Federal Reserve (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.)

Left off this list of connected insiders is New York Federal Reserve Bank President Bill Dudley, (ex- GS executive), board members Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan- Chase) and James Immelt (GE) and the recently ‘removed’ Chairman Steve Friedman ( ex- Goldman CEO) who was given the boot after the conflicts of interest became too obvious to ignore. (You’re all fired! You just don’t know it yet.)

The- (You’re fired! Security will give you 20 minutes to vacate the premises.) is my presidential activity in the first twenty or so minutes of my administration. I would also fire Geithner, Goolsbie, Summers, his entire staff and would publicly demand Bernanke’s resignation. I would demand all the above @ the NY Fed fire themselves or I would make the board’s tenure so torturous they would all wish themselves dead! I can do this in 24 hours.

I would fire the useless shadow Eric Holder and hire Andrew Cuomo as Attorney general with the task of investigating and clearing out ALL the corruption and double- dealing on Wall Street and in Washington. I would demand prosecutions and more prosecutions. I would demand the investigations continue even if they reached the offices of the preceding presidencies.

Long prison sentences would serve to warn others.

I would demand Congress investigate what (the hell) happened during 2007 and 2008 with regards to a) the economic collapse and who was responsible for it and b) actions of the governments – both Bush’s and Obama’s to maneuver around the consequences. I would want to know who got paid off and how much!

It is outrageous that neither Congress nor the Administration have taken any steps to find out what really happened and is currently happening in our economy and around the world.

Just 24 hours, that’s all I need …. GRRRRR!
