Read up on Trump
I am not a Republican, but I have met many fine, honest, decent people who are. Therefore I would ask them before they consider voting for Donald Trump, read a recent book, “The Making of Donald Trump” by David Cay Johnston, an investigative reporter who has worked for the Philadelphia Enquirer and the New York Times.
The book is fact-checked. If it weren’t true, Trump would have sued him by now, and he hasn’t.
Trump claims to be a multi-billionaire, but this should be taken not with a grain of salt but a full shaker. If he had to repay all the people he has defrauded, his fortune would be vastly depleted. He keeps lawyers to delay doing that as long as possible, one of whom is Roy Cohn, of House Un-American Activities Committee infamy, who has ties to the Mafia.
Hillary has been vilified over and over and has been acquitted of committing any crimes. But if she were a bank robber, she’d still be a better president than Trump.
