Rahm Emanuel: Trump Is Going to Walk Out $4 Billion Richer, ‘You’re Going to Walk Out $4 Trillion Poorer as a Country’

‘He’s on the phone every day about a ballroom to himself’

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: “Kasie, look, I mean, I added to that, you — I said three Gs. There’s greed, grievance, and grandeur. And don’t lose sight of the fact — I mean, there’s a story out today about his intervening at the White House, in the Pentagon, to throw a contract to a company that his own kids are investors in. He’s going to walk out $4 billion richer. You’re going to walk out $4 trillion poorer as a country because of his presidency. The grandeur, and also an example of the cost on this, you hear every day, whether it’s a ballroom, the arch, or the Reflecting Pool, he’s on the phone every day with the head of — the Secretary of Interior about some monument to himself. You ever think he called the Secretary of Education about the fact that 50 percent of our kids can’t read at grade level? No, but we know that he’s on the phone every day about a ballroom to himself, an arch to himself, and also on the Reflecting Pool.”
