Trump: Our movement is about replacing...
*static noise*
Roger Stone: He's not part of the Washington buddy system.
He's not part of a broken system that's brought this country to its knees!
*sudden stop*
*faint ambient ring in the distance*
Trump (faintly): - a government controlled by you, the American people.
Donald Trump is an outsider.
He’s a straight shooter who tells it like
it is.
He’s a billionaire for the people that’s
shaking things up.
That was the message on the campaign trail,
but with over a year since his inauguration,
it’s time to ask: How much of the swamp
has actually been drained?
60 minutes lady: But your own transition team - filled with lobbyists!
Trump: It's the only people you have down there!
And now he's gonna go after Goldman Sachs? Doesn't work that way!
Goldman Sachs owns him! Remember that folks. They OWN him!
The Trump administration is littered with
former members of Goldman Sachs.
A total of 7 former Goldman members have been
nominated for top positions in the administration.
After 1 firing and 2 resignations, there’s
4 left.
*pretty and somber music*
These include the Secretary of the Treasury,
Steve Mnuchin, who worked for Goldman for
17 years, and President Trump’s chief economic
advisor, Gary Cohn, who was the President
of Goldman Sachs for over a decade.
That’s all pretty confusing after everything
President Trump said before the election.
Trump: Let me tell you. Goldman Sachs and Citi Bank have him totally under control folks, believe me! Okay.
Me, I'm not takin' money so it's very easy, ok? *crowd cheers*
But it’s possible Trump merely picked these
people because they knew the system.
Trump: - the system.
Maybe the actual policies they created together
would help the average American.
But that is not what we’ve seen.
Let’s start with Trumpcare.
Every version of that bill was incredibly
unpopular with the American people.
The nonpartisan CBO found that the reform
was a huge tax break for the top 1%, all while
throwing millions of people off health insurance.
That has got to be a step in the wrong direction
for a nation where about 45 thousand people
die every year because they don’t have adequate
access to health care.
Then there’s Trump’s tax reform.
Two different reports, one from the widely
respected Tax Policy Center and the other
from Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation,
both clearly show this plan is regressive
- the biggest tax cuts, both in dollars and
as a percentage, go to the wealthy.
While corporate business seems to be booming
as stock markets cross all-time highs, it
pays to remember that 84% of stocks are owned
by only 10% of Americans.
With wages stagnant for 4 decades and half
of Americans making less than 30 thousand
dollars a year, we need reform that helps
all of us, not just the rich.
To President Trump’s credit, he did fulfill
his campaign promise to pull out of the TPP.
But some of the worst provisions of the TPP
are now a part of his re-negotiations of NAFTA.
Despite all of Trump’s flaws, his supporters
did get something right.
There is a problem with a corrupt Washington
establishment.
We now know that even presidential primaries
for major political parties have been rigged.
What the people want turns out to be much
less important than the interests of the rich
and powerful.
But despite his anti-establishment rhetoric,
the best pieces of evidence for President
Trump really being an outsider...
...are his eating habits. 
*drops the mic*
Now I give you a choice.
The rest is up to you.
*slowed down version of Apprentice "money money money" song plays in background*
