President should practice what he preaches

Posted July 04, 2019 1:00 am

Donald Trump's administration wants to put new limits on aid for low-income Americans. He says he wants them to have an incentive to work so they can become self sufficient. This from a "businessman" who has refused to pay his contractors, cheated workers out of their deserved wages, and filed bankruptcy multiple times.

The Trump campaign still owes the city of El Paso. Texas, $470,000 for a campaign rally in February. That figure is 63% of the city's budget for a year. According to The Washington Post, the new owners of the former Trump Hotel in Panama have uncovered records showing that the Trump Organization evaded Panamanian taxes. This is presented in a legal filing.

If Donald Trump is going to insist that low-income Americans stop taking government money, he should look into a mirror. Here is a "rich" man who doesn't pay HIS bills.

Trump needs to practice what he preaches before he goes after others, especially those who don't have influence and powerful friends to protect them.
