Trump “the populist” signals his intentions

They aren’t good:

It’s obvious that he’s contemplating some privatization plan that will benefit all his rich Wall Street buddies. I’ll bet some of them were in his ear at Davos, telling him all about the “profits” the US Treasury will make if it invests in the markets. Hey, he might even propose that the Trump Organization form a consortium to use Social Security funds to develop some cheap beachfront condos with his name on them to get himself a taste. And Republicans will probably go along with it.

But don’t be fooled. He will not run on it this year. He knows very well that his older, racist, white voters must be kept on the team and messing with their Social Security will scare them. But once he no longer has to face re-election, he will be setting up himself and his family with massive financial gains the minute he leaves office.

I have no doubt that privatizing Social Security would be a scam that he plans to get a piece of. He never leaves a penny on the sidewalk.
