To The Reader’s Forum:

I just read this headline in a periodical I subscribe to that pretty much sums up the current administration:

US President does infomercial at White House for company owned by his biggest political donor

That donor, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla which Trump just did an advertisement for, also received $20-30 billion dollars in grants and loans from the federal government he is now trying to dismantle. He recently announced his intention to donate another $100 million to various PACs aligned with Trump.

Way back in 2014 when reporters were trying to figure out where Trump got his funding to build golf courses since US banks wouldn’t loan to him because of his repeated defaults, Eric Trump said this: “Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia. Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.”

Follow the money. When do you suppose it will finally dawn on the Trump voter that they are being swindled by a proven con man, before or after the recession?
