President Trump said Monday he's considering breaking up some of the largest American banks — even as his Treasury secretary appeared to take credit for a stock rally in shares of those same companies.
Trump, in an interview with Bloomberg News, confirmed he was thinking of bringing back a Great Depression-era law that kept consumer and investment banks separate, which would in effect break up huge banks.
"I'm looking at that right now," Trump said. "There's some people that want to go back to the old system, right? So we're going to look at that."
Sounds good to me.
I like that idea too. It's too long since we had someone who busted up those monopolies. Takes a lot of stamina and real character.
he's done more for America in first 100 days, than Obama in 8 years.
he's 'looking at' breaking up big banks
Ok make your point. What has he done? Golf? Rent resort facilities to secret service?
Compare that to this list of 450 of Obama's accomplishments on our behalf with citations too.
So lets start right at the top of that page of yours.
1 Within his first week, he signed an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse.
2 Created the post of Chief Performance Officer, whose job it is to make operations more efficient to save the federal government money.
3 On his first full day, he froze White House salaries for the duration of the Great Recession.
4 He appointed the first Federal Chief Information Officer to oversee federal IT spending and efficiency.
1) How much money did he save government? So far all he did was just created more bureaucracy.
2) Another bureaucratic appointment without tangible results.
3) Trump doesn't even take a salary because he is rich.
4) I remember how well this appointment worked out, they spent fucking billions on that shitty Obamacare website that didn't work for months. Talk about fail.
And that was just the first 4 things you listed as accomplishments. Perhaps you should consider them as "failures", but not accomplishments.
Corporate Raider?
He will definitely break them up. Can't miss out on an easy dollar.
How long has this been in his agenda & not a mention till now?
Sounds good to me
You know what else sounded good, before he got elected and did a 180?
"I'm going to repeal and replace Obamacare "
And
“In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state. … Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen — right? Don’t we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states. But I think, medical marijuana, 100%.â€
And then he did a 180 and He appointed the face of the necrotic nepotistic status quo. I'm sure you can explain it away about how it's just another in the long list of brilliant moves by Trump, however its very telling that he would say one thing wrt how he would serve the people and MAGA, yet when the rubber meets the road, it was just a lie and he decides to harm this country and its people in a very bigly way
Only someone as delusional as Trump (a legitimate sociopath) could make the claims that the OP has.
Up is down.
Black is white.
Fiction is your reality and you're inside out.
Trump is the new Roosevelt
You wish.
That's right boys, he's done more for America in first 100 days, than Obama in 8 years.
Trump, however its very telling that he would say one thing wrt how he would serve the people and MAGA, yet when the rubber meets the road, it was just a lie and he decides to harm this country and its people in a very bigly way
At worst, he will slow down the rate at which states legalize medical and recreational.
Sessions on wrong side of history and he will achieve nothing of substance regarding marijuana
There has never been such a liar in office as Trump.
Woah, don't you remember GW Bush and Iraq's non-existent "weapons of mass destruction"?
Or Bush's huge "Mission Accomplished" banner when the war was just starting?
Trump is a fucking saint by comparison.

8 and the mess it's put us in today. Although he analyzes the transgressions of Wall Street, the author also presents a wide variety of factors including some that originated in the governmental sector and others that originated in the private sector. The book includes several rarely mentioned contributing factors such as the detrimental impact of automated underwriting systems that were heavily promoted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is an opinionated book with an attitude. However, the author, a CPA and MBA, presents economic information in a conversational tone and meticulously backs up his views with references, charts,...

I have faith Trump will grand stand as much as "Mission Accomplished" (CIA speech and widow at congressional address show complete lack of tact and good potential to "achieve" here). I'm also pretty sure he, or one of his ilk, will lie us into a war as well.
It's only been 104 days after all. He's getting warmed up. He is learning where he gets the petting and love like a puppy. (Big big praise for Syria strike. Huge war boner for MOAB. Little chub today for missile test.) We are on the road to a bigger engagement. I think we are choosing the ground and who we want the proxy fight with (Russia or China) now.
Based on the climate science though we should probably just up and invade Canada. Best long term strategic use of American assets by far. ;)
