In an interview published today, former Goldman Sachs CEO and lifelong Democrat Lloyd Blankfein said, “I think I might find it harder to vote for Bernie than for Trump”
published Friday that he could have an easier time voting to reelect President Donald Trump than for Sen. Bernie Sanders, should the latter secure the Democratic nomination for president.
Both Sanders and Blankfein have relished their slap fight: Sanders included the financial mogul last summer on a list of "anti-endorsements" of his presidential bid, while Blankfein snarked on Twitter after Sanders' win in the New Hampshire primary that the Kremlin might consider interfering on the Vermont senator's behalf in the presidential election because he was the candidate “to best screw up the US.
“I don’t like that at all,” he said in the Financial Times interview, likening it an "assassination by categorization." “Look, it’s crazy not to acknowledge the economy has expanded under Trump,” Blankfein said, attributing the growth in part to the 2017 GOP tax law and Trump’s elimination of “dopey regulations.”
