Stomach-churning sport

It was revealed this week, that Trump has used various loopholes, attorneys and schemes to avoid paying millions of taxes dollars over the course of his real estate career. This has now been well documented. But to the astute, this is not new news. Just put together the pieces.

In defense, Trump took to social media to proudly explain that the wealthy and corporations avoid taxes as a matter of "sport."

So let me get this straight: The poor and middle class should work for Medicaid and Social Security benefits, but when the wealthy and corporations avoid taxes, it's a sport? Most of us know of this set of processes. As vile as they are, But, for the president to come out and then take pride in this dehumanizing, "winner take all" formula as a "sport." as he put it, is nauseating beyond any gastric issues I've had in quite some time.

Please, pass the Pepto and be quick about it.
