The Future of American Values Is On the Ballot
The corruption of Donald Trump is legendary. He was trying to cut a deal for a Trump Tower in Moscow right up to the day of the election in 2016, and lied about it over and over and over again. He's been trashing China, but his daughter has been enthusiastically taking trademarks from that country and doing business there, and we now discover he has checking accounts in China and paid taxes in China. He paid more in taxes in China than he paid in personal income tax here in the United States, and it's increasingly looking like either the government of China or some government-connected entity there gave him a $15 million bribe right after he was elected president. His administration tore thousands of children from their mothers and fathers and put them in cages, and now more than 500 of them are lost forever. Can you imagine if someone had taken your child away at gunpoint, refused to tell you where your child was, and then you learned that your child was lost, probably forever? That is what Donald Trump and his enablers have done to our fellow human beings. Read more here. -Thom
