In reply to the discussion: Bette Midler tweet: Trump told Fox News he was going to cut entitlements last night [View all]CaptYossarian
(6,448 posts)29. He most likely is going after poor people who can't afford to give to his campaign.
I learned that from watching Scott Walker, when he screwed nurses, teachers, and fire fighters. Those unions donated to Tom Barrett.
Trump's tax "cut" only helped the 1%. Average folks like us have to pick up their tab.
Quid pro quo didn't start with Ukraine.
(If he truly was a billionaire, like Steyer and Bloomberg, he wouldn't need any help in his campaign. You can't file bankruptcy unless you can prove your liabilities outweigh your assets. With all his high-rises, golf courses, and other properties, how can he have more than $1 billion in losses? He's one piss-poor businessman if that's true.)
We absolutely MUST get those 1040s.
