Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

“Our old horse is blind. He walked into the creek and couldn't find his way back out... He kept turning toward the deep water. His donkey waded in, leaned up against him and walked him to the bank one step at a time. They've been best friends for eleven years.”

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
