I believe in progressive and often liberal ideals, policies and positions. I do not, however, identify as liberal or libertarian or Republican or even progressive. I am a humanist.
I agree in spirit Molly but let's get the facts straight: Fred Trump's initial "loan" to his son was to the tune of 60.7 million dollars or about 140 million in today's dollars. Through the years Trump received $413 million from dear old dad through a variety of tax dodges and shady means. In 1992 Fred Trump created a sham company (All County Building Supply & Maintenance) as a purchasing agent for Fred Trump's properties. Cleaning supplies, boilers and maintenance materials were marked up as high as 50 percent and the profits went to his children. Fraud is one way to build intergeneration wealth.
Love your letter Molly. Scott's comment above is perhaps factually correct, but misses your point. It's a "Whatabout" in true Trump spirit. I'm a Democrat, and I plan to vote for Biden, but I believe there are plenty of bad Democrats and even more good spirited Republicans.
Let's fix this mess together, and either forget about Donald Trump or make the best of the situation if he is re-elected.
