‘The Forgotten Men’

Bankers and financiers told the Financial Times that Donald Trump’s victory has emboldened those who chafed at “woke doctrine” and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.

Said one banker: “I feel liberated. We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled… it’s a new dawn.”

“Some Wall Streeters also feel able to embrace making money openly, without nodding to any broader social goals.”

Said another banker: “Most of us don’t have to kiss ass because, like Trump, we love America and capitalism.”
