Trump the Enabler

Today is Day 21 since Donald Trump was nominated for President by the Republican Party, and Day 21 he has refused to release any of his income tax returns. He’s hiding some really huge nasty stuff.

Donald Trump’s newly announced “economic team” consists of 14 older white men, all businessmen, many who have made their fortunes buying up distressed properties, i.e., taking advantage of misfortune that has befallen the poor. Nothing wrong with it, of course; it’s all legal. Doesn’t that make you feel better? And then there’s this: there’s not a single trained economist in the bunch, only businessmen whose aims are solely focused on enriching themselves. Come to think of it, they make a perfect team for Donald Trump.
