Rahm Emanuel Makes Dark Prediction About What Trump Will Do To The Oval Office
HuffPost
The ex-chief of staff to former President Barack Obama said Democrats are "the thin blue line" between Americans and the special interests Trump is courting.
Rahm Emanuel has little faith in President-elect Donald Trump’s impending administration.
The ex-aide to former President Barack Obama and current U.S. ambassador to Japan sat down for a lengthy podcast interview Monday and, after analyzing why Democrats lost in last month’s election, Emanuel wagered what another Trump term will look like.
“Donald Trump is going to turn the Oval Office into eBay,” he said on “The Ezra Klein Show.”
“He is going to sell it to every special interest, and you’re going to be left paying that tab,” Emanuel continued. “And the Democratic Party is the thin blue line between the pharmaceutical industry getting everything they want or you paying everything you have.”
Emanuel certainly has experience with the workings of a White House administration: He was Obama’s chief of staff when the then-president signed into law the Affordable Care Act and Dodd-Frank financial reforms after a housing crisis threatened to plummet the U.S. into a depression. Emanuel was mayor of Chicago for two terms after serving in the Obama administration.
