It was not an accident: We are bought and paid for by the 1%.

They are not "creators", they are just the typical con artists that separate us from our money and our rights.

At some point, we will realize this and stop paying into their piggy banks.

And maybe demanding some piggy skin.

Donald John Trump is the greatest con man who ever lived. Everything he has ever done was designed to make him richer at the expense of middle class and especially poor Americans.

That's all you need to know. It explains everything.

Every time he goes to his Florida resort he ensures that it is packed to capacity with people paying him money.

How about a find raising campaign directed to the Billionaires This would be a win whether it succeeded or failed.

Which organizations could best do a fundraiser such as this with Press Release that gets media attention?

If the Meals on Wheels program already utilizes volunteers, the fundraiser would just be asking for matching funds to match the hourly volunteer contribution

Surely the sprit of the yuppies is still with us.

At the same time we could ask for billionaire matching funds for the cost to the treasury of each golf session of Trump's. It can go into a fund called the Presidential Golf Fund for Meals on Wheels.

Now I know charity funds are not our our sole objective- There are things we want government to do to provide for the general well-being. but Billionaires for Meals on wheels and the Presidential Golf Challenge can be great "marketing" tools.

I think Chambers of Commerce across the country should be asked to back these initiatives.

He might want to check up on how well that worked out for Marie Antoinette.
