President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he would nominate billionaire Vincent Viola to be Secretary of the Army.
Viola, the owner of the Florida Panthers hockey team, made his fortune as an investor and founder of the high-speed electronic trading firm Virtu Financial, where he is still executive chairman. He is the former chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange, where he got his start as a commodities trader.
“Viola’s business experience makes him well positioned to help guide a Fortune 10-sized company, the U.S. Army,” a statement from Trump’s transition team announcing Viola’s nomination reads.
A 1977 graduate of West Point, Viola contributed millions to the academy after September 11th to establish its Combating Terrorism Center, according to the Wall Street Journal. He also helped develop a digital textbook about battle strategy.
Nice swamp ya got there Trump.
See you rust belt voters he’s working for you…
Hiring some real grass roots folks who understand your plight .
A cruel joke isn’t it as another member of the billionaires club joins the team?
You rubes this is what an oligarchy looks like
And this qualifies him for the position. And the fact that he’s rich and White.
I can see how he’d really be able to relate to the enlisted men.
How are the deplorables doing now? Another billionaire with all kinds of business conflicts with government.
Trump’s words behind closed doors that line up with his cabinet picks:
TAX CUTS…only for the very rich. tax increases for the middle class…another Bush Presidency
CLEAN THE SWAMP…of anyone who opposes billionaire rule and corruption. MONEY is the only power that America should honor…long live the corporations and billionaires. To hell with the working class.
Trump agrees with Putin: The USSR never should have crumbled under Reagan’s cold war…the USSR will be rebuilt by Putin with lap puppy Trump going along for the ride for a few golf courses along the north sea.
The US will not survive Trump’s term…the Republican congress is not up to the job of actually doing an honest week’s work and Trump knows it.
I hear he’s a whiz at Call of Duty and Battlefield 1, which is what convinced Dumblefuck that he was The Perfect Choice.
The US army/military is not a business.
That is all.
