http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/who-does-wall-street-want-be-president?cid=sm_fb_msnbc Famed investor Byron Wien of Blackrock, who previously spent 21 years at Morgan Stanley, voiced major concerns when it comes to Donald Trump potential ascension to the White House. “Donald Trump is attacking Mexico, he’s attacking pretty much all of Europe, he’s attacking the Muslim religion and he’s not denounced the Klu Klux Klan,” noted Wien. “It has been, so far, a difficult year. I think it will be a down year, and I didn’t [initially] anticipate Donald Trump’s ascendency, but he’ll contribute to that,” the investor added. Economists on both the left and right have had choice words for Trump’s controversial positions on trade and immigration. Some think his threat to slap tariffs on China could lead to a trade war, or even a global recession. Wien also faulted the billionaire real estate mogul’s plans on trade, which could isolate the U.S. economy from major trading partners. *READ MORE: How Bernie Sanders supporters shut down a Donald Trump rally in Chicago <http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/how-bernie-sanders-supporters-shut-down-donald-trump-rally-chicago>* Joseph Grano, who as a key figure in the merger between UBS and PaineWebber and now works as Chairman and CEO of Centurion Holdings, echoed Wien’s concerns. “Donald’s got to show us some depth,” warned Grano, who also served as Chairman of the Homeland Security Advisory Council. “If he doesn’t start acting more presidential, and tone down the hyperbole and the rhetoric, he may get the [GOP] nomination, but I don’t think he can win the presidency.” _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
