TRUMP: Consider the big ifs

| September 2, 2020 1:00 AM

If you:

• Donated to the Trump Charitable Foundation, Trump used your money to purchase an expensive self-portrait. Thank you. His charitable foundation had to be dissolved due to corruption.

• Enrolled in Trump University, you received no recognized education of value. However, your wasted tuition dollars made the Trump family richer. Trump University had to close when Trump lost his lawsuit, requiring him to pay $25 million to students he defrauded.

• Are a member of the NRA, your dollars purchased designer suits and luxury family vacations for Wayne La Pierre. Also, your money was funneled to Trump’s 2016 campaign. Trump recommends the NRA move to Texas instead of cleaning up its organization’s financial shenanigans.

• Donated to the 2016 Trump Inaugural, well, let’s just say they are still trying to figure out where all that money went.

• Sent money to support “We Build the Wall,” Trump, Steve Bannon and his crooked accomplices thank you. The wall is poorly and cheaply built, but Bannon and others lined their own pockets quite nicely. I wonder if Bannon can spend that much money in jail after he is found guilty of fraud.

• Support Trump, do you ask yourself why so many of his buddies have been arrested, found guilty, with some serving jail time? Remember these swampy guys: Flynn, Cohen, Roger Stone, Bannon, Manafort, Rick Gates, Igor, etc. Pardons for loyalty, anyone?

Donald Trump says: The coronavirus will miraculously go away. There are good people on both sides. The economy is amazing [for the rich and those who own stocks].

You get the picture.

Is Donald Trump a stable genius? How about the best conman ever? He likes being No. 1.
