From Bill Bonner, Chairman, Bonner & Partners:

BALTIMORE – The mainstream press is focused on Donald Trump’s selections of his key staff.

So far, our name hasn’t come up.

These choices – of his captains and majors – are thought to be especially important. Because Trump has spent his career in private business, not in government… in New York, Florida, and New Jersey, not in Washington, D.C.

So, now that he is marching on the nation’s capital, he is going to need lieutenants who know their way around town.

There is also a presumption that the president-elect lacks firm ideas about what he wants to accomplish… and how he will do it.

Aides and Adjutants

“Make America Great Again” is a campaign slogan.

It leaves plenty of room for interpretation. And the people mugging with Trump at his golf resort in New Jersey are the ones who will do it.
