Please tell us if you find one deal which doesn’t benefit Trump or his family or insiders!
In talking to anyone from New York for example who has ever been in business with Trump gotten a fair deal?
One New Yorker among many I have talked to over the years, recently pointed out that his friends who were unpaid contractors for Trump’s various real estate projects when complaining about not being paid were told to “Sue me”!
Who knows the extent to which that reply may have come?
Perhaps the most egregious example of failing to live up to a commitment appeared in the October 22 article in the Washington Post, entitled “He supported the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Now he may be deported to the Taliban” about one Afghan loyalist who helped us when we occupied Afghanistan, who now faces US deportation, even though he has all the papers, has worked continuously to improve himself, has children and a wife here and is fully committed to American citizenship.
In short, he is precisely the kind of productive, honorable law abiding immigrant we seek, and yet his arrest by ICE has plunged him into a situation where personal trauma has yet to be relieved by proper adjudication.
Fortunately, this Afghan US helper has a US lawyer, and as the Post article makes clear facts are in his favor, but still the trauma of his experience of being cuffed and imprisoned and treated without cause by ICE!
You can read this outstanding example of investigative reporting About the post in full here.
He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.
Then ICE arrested him.
If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him. https://t.co/v9CfM4wKXq

Trump has literally struck vicious illegal or unnecessary actions against everyone. The beef farmers only yesterday. Wonder who will be next on his daily list of crazy, cruel unconscionable announcements. With such ome unconscionable deeds daily what’s the gutless GOP do? You tell me!
As one who long felt disputes between responsible government entities could be handled equitably, the situation has gone completely out of control, and we have lost responsible conduct from the GOP members of Congress, as well as the majority of the Supreme Court of the United States.
We have long passed the tipping point about what the vast majority of American people stand about Trump who is acting in a totally unbalanced and dangerous manner which even suggests that he is going crazy in his efforts to feather his own nest gained complete financial access to the government resources and taking no account that he might be stopped because it would appear then at the moment he cannot be.
Donald Trump is exactly the kind of person that our founders warned us about. He cozies up to dictators like Putin because he idolizes them. His actions are dangerous and un-American. pic.twitter.com/0L84FMRV68

Recent efforts by the Democrat party to stand against this seem to be gaining more and more support but at this point we seem to have no clear path to stopping Trump’s successes even at the midterm elections.
Will Trump be able by various machinations to stand for a third term or will he only be able to get his own separate unacceptable proxy JD Vance to run with his continued supervision?????
Of all Trump’s immoral shenanigans so far one that symbolizes so keenly his unwillingness to meet a critical moral obligation is the story about the Afghan now under such attack.
Integrity lost can’t be readily regained. The US federal government under Trump has lost its integrity.
