Goldman Sachs CEO trolls Trump with Statue of Liberty photo: ‘Despite all the sh*t, American values will shine through’

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 01/12/18 03:18 PM EST

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein delivered a thinly veiled jab at President Trump on Friday after the president allegedly slammed immigration from "shithole countries" in a private meeting a day earlier.




The tweet appeared to reference Trump's reported remarks decrying immigration from "shithole countries," like Haiti, and references the Statue of Liberty's reputation as a welcoming symbol for immigrants.

Engraved on a plaque on the statue is the poem, "The New Colossus," by Emma Lazarus, which includes the famous line: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

Former FBI Director James Comey quoted the poem on Twitter Friday in response to Trump's reported comments.
