Irony of Trump’s illegal workers

If some people are still supportive of Trump after the most recent news, I will be very surprised.

After all of his not-so-petty tantrums regarding the “border wall,” including shutting down the government because of “the criminals, rapists and drug dealers,” we learn he hired illegal immigrants at his golf courses. Years ago.

I suppose some will say it is moot as all those workers have been fired. Those poor people have lost jobs after years of employment with the Trump organization. It appears the management knew their papers were not legal. Trump should have known as well if he’s such a spectacular business man.

Trump has been an employer to several illegal immigrants including during his presidency. How can anyone endorse this behavior? The Trumpster is playing the citizens of our great country. He claims to care for our safety while employing the very people he claims are dangerous to us.

You just can’t have it both ways! This should be the straw that breaks the Donald’s back. Conflict of interest seems to be the standard for this administration. It’s past time for him to go.
