I am just sickened by the WaPo article

describing how Trump exploited illegals so he could build and maintain his properties, Bedminster golf course in particular.

Yet, it doesn't surprise me a bit, knowing how Trump operates his "businesses". And I'm sure he's not the only one who does this. But he is the only one who is president, and who claims to think the practice of hiring illegals is so unfair to Americans.

You have to figure, in between hiring cheap illegal labor, demanding state and local tax abatements, and the big fat tax cuts that Congress gifted these billionaires -- they sure are riding on the gravy train. Yet, if you ask them, they will probably insist that they alone made themselves into what they are, through the virtue of their own hard work, with no help or handouts from anyone!

But corporate media and many of his challengers did not mention this and if they did it wasn't much focus on it.

When I hear him talk about "brown and black" immigrants and the fucking wall and know that his supporters suck it up, I wonder how stupid they or they just care. He is a con and karma has his number.

lying, cheating, stealing, demeaning, and bullying. Did I forget treason? republicans have a lot to answer for, and history will not be kind.
