Trumpism: Rust Belt vs 'Goldman Sachs'

Washington

AS A journalist I can relate to the authors of a recent article in The Washington Post that purported to expose a "class war" taking place in the White House between a group of economic populists, led by strategist Steve Bannon, and the pro-business types aka "Goldman Sachs", like economic advisor Gary Cohn.

Journalists like to frame what is happening in Washington (which in most cases includes mind-numbing facts) as narratives that recount "battles" between colourful individuals with strong egos.
