DFA: Trump Sells Out the American People to Wall Street

February 3, 2017 - 1:08 pm

Democracy for America Executive Director Charles Chamberlain called out Donald Trump for signing executive orders designed to benefit the financial industry at the expense of American workers:

“Donald Trump is selling out the American people to Wall Street once again, betraying the voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania who drove his narrow electoral college win. From appointing Goldman Sachs executives to run the Treasury to today’s executive orders rolling back critical rules protecting retirement savings, Trump is putting his billionaire friends on Wall Street ahead of seniors and the working class.

"The resistance has a warning for Donald Trump: Every time you betray the working class, we will expose you for the corporate fraud and Wall Street puppet you really are.” -- Charles Chamberlain, Executive Director of Democracy for America

“A lot of people are jaded,” desperate to see Washington “actually start to move some stuff,” said Yvette Simpson, chief executive of the progressive political action committee Democracy for America.

Ever since Congress passed Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill earlier this year, Simpson said, “we’re flatlined. There’s no real significant change that we can see for anything else on the horizon.”

If Democrats can’t break the logjam, she said, the party will pay for it in 2022. “I think it hurts the energy. I think it hurts the momentum.”
