"I said, 'Because that's the kind of thinking we want ... because they're representing the country. They don't want the money."
"And I love all people — rich or poor — but in those particular positions, I just don't want a poor person," Trump said. "Does that make sense? If you insist, I'll do it — but I like it better this way."
That seems to directly contradict the whole anti-Wall Street rhetoric Trump was were elected on.
For example, during the 2016 primary election Trump said: "I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They have total, total control over [Ted Cruz] ... just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton."
Hmmmm.
