Trump Just Dragged Another Wall Street Titan Into the Ring—Goldman’s CEO Takes the Heat

Another Big-Time Executive Is Hearing It From Trump. This Time It's Goldman's CEO.

Another day, another billionaire in Trump's crosshairs. This time it's Goldman Sachs' chief catching strays—because nothing says 'stable markets' like a former president roasting bankers on main street.

Wall Street's golden boy finds himself in the political grinder as Trump turns up the heat. No numbers, no mercy—just pure, unfiltered executive drama.

Finance insiders shrug. After all, what's one more public lashing in an industry built on 'creative destruction'? The real question: Who's next on the hit list?

Maybe Solomon Should 'Focus On Being a DJ,' Trump Says

Trump took his critique further, offering feedback on the career choices and hobbies of Goldman CEO David Solomon, who has moonlighted in music as a DJ. Goldman Sachs in an email to Investopedia declined to comment.

"I think that David should go out and get himself a new Economist or, maybe, he ought to just focus on being a DJ, and not bother running a major Financial Institution," Trump wrote.

Solomon and Tan are just few of the executives Trump has called out publicly for various reasons. His willingness to spar with Elon Musk, the Tesla (TSLA) chief who was one of the biggest financial supporters of his last campaign, earlier this summer took a big bite out of the EV maker's market cap, though it's recovered since.

Goldman's stock is up nearly 4% today amid a broader rally for U.S. stocks.
