Goldman Bans Partners From Donating to Trump Campaign

According to Opensecrets.org, Goldman Ball Sachs employees are some of the top donors for the H. Clinton roadshow. Having established a firm bias in the race, the sages at Goldman decided it was a good idea to change their firm rules, bend and twist them, in order to prohibit donations to the Trump-Pence team. The idiotic result from their stupidity is horrendous media coverage and a further tarring of Clinton as Goldman’s anointed candidate.

“Effective Thursday, September 1, all partners across the firm are considered ‘restricted persons’ as defined by the firm’s Policy on Personal Political Activities in the US. As outlined below, restricted persons are prohibited from engaging in political activities and/or making campaign contributions to candidates running for state and local offices, as well as sitting state and local officials running for federal office,” the bank wrote to its employees.

The step aims to prevent “inadvertently violating pay-to-play rules, particularly the look-back provision, when partners transition into roles covered by these rules,” according to Goldman.

Goldman said the measure was “meant to minimize potential reputational damage caused by any false perception that the firm is attempting to circumvent pay-to-play rules, particularly given partners’ seniority and visibility.”

“Among the type of donations that are banned are any federal candidate who is a sitting state or local official (e.g., governor running for president or vice president, such as the Trump/Pence ticket, or mayor running for Congress), including their Political Action Committees (PACs),”

Since America fucking despises Goldman, this is being viewed as a very positive development for Trump.
