Yes and no. Trump was elected on a platform of tearing up TPP, TTIP, NAFTA etc, all of which are loved by large corporations looking to offshore work and evade taxes. There are a lot of people who voted for that anti-corporate message, and against Hillary who was obviously in Wall Street's pocket.
I mean, the guy has been in the public eye since what, the 70's? He has been photographed socialising with people of all races, he employs plenty of women in senior roles in his companies, he married an immigrant - yet the big, corporate media conglomerates are determined to paint him as a racist sexist etc etc - they all loved him while he stayed out of politics - doesn't that seem a little odd?
- mulmen 9y agoNobody loved Trump when he stayed out of politics, he just didn't matter. When he injected himself into the political world and started influencing the national conversation that's when people started to care. I'm not even going to debate with you on the racist or sexist fronts, if you reject facts there's not much of a conversation to be had.
- andrepd 9y agoThat's why he stacked his administration with Goldman Sachs and Big Oil types, right?
