RINOs unite

We knew that as a businessman Donald Trump lied to his contractors and his employees then stiffed them when they wanted to get paid. We know that businessman Donald Trump lied to the students of Trump University and they had to sue to get their money back.

As a Republican candidate he said he was the great negotiator and so far he has torn up or tossed out trade agreements with China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union and has negotiated nothing. We now have a trade war looming because President Trump is raising tariffs like we haven’t seen since the 1929 Smoot-Hawley Act where stocks dropped 66 percent from their 1929 highs and was followed by the Great Depression - and we may repeat that with President Trump’s trade war. It is starting to affect manufacturing, dairies and farmers.

Over the years Republicans who had the backbone and moral integrity to stand up against their party were labeled RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and forced out of office.

Maybe the Republican RINOs can start another party with backbone and the moral authority that the current Republican Party lacks and have the Charging Rhinoceros as its party emblem.
