A FB post that I can't decide how to respond to

Actually, I won't, not on-line...but I had to share. A conservative who hates Drumpf, but has very odd ideas of reality.

Trump owes 1.6 Billion in Junk Debt including $900,000 to Saudi billionaires and hundreds of millions of dollars to powerful Russian Billionaires. Conservative spokesperson George Will have noted that Trump refused to release his tax returns to avoid disclosure of his ties to and huge debt to the most powerful billionaires in Russia. That is also why Trump disparages NATO and tries to weaken NATO.
All Democrats, all Republicans, all National Security and Law Enforcements agencies must demand that Trump immediately disclose all of his Federal Income Tax Returns and Tax Returns of companies he controls, for the past five years to determine if, as I believe, Trump has too many communist ties and commie debt to be president and is committing treason when he disparages NATO in order to have even closer ties to Russia.


I think it's the idea of "commie" billionaires that throws me....

Was always an oligarchy. It just pretended to be communist (pretty much like every communist state so far) by putting on a facade of state ownership. All that happened in the Glorious Revolution is the oligarchs changed their names and method of ownership.

I was particularly irked to see Soviet flags at the DNC for this reason.

Apparently they don't know that the Soviets were a murderous regime that made Hitler look like a piker.

under Castro or Ho Chi Min. But there's always a privileged class of some sort in any political scheme.

It's interesting that he takes money from the Saudis, who fund some radical Islamists, but, maybe he has no plans to repay them anyway. Thus he attacks radical Islam by reducing the money available to them.

Nah. He just doesn't like paying his bills. Wait until he finds out bankruptcy court doesn't work with the Russian mob.

Whaddya wanna to bet he takes money from the Chinese, too?

Honestly I would just let it go. At best any reply would just go over his head. At worst you get a rage filled response because you are too stupid to see the truth.

they start out ruthless and uncaring instead of having to learn it like those from more liberal systems.

Look at China.

Maybe there is a trend out there to get the word out about his debts.
