Donald Trump is the epitome of what people used to call “The ugly American.” He slanders everybody and seems to believe that any non-Trump entity must be a “loser.” He is famous for the words “You’re Fired!” He defines himself as a successful entrepreneur. He is one definition of entrepreneur:
noun
noun: entrepreneur; plural noun: entrepreneurs
- a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.
| synonyms: | businessman/businesswoman, enterpriser, speculator, tycoon, magnate, mogul; |
He is proud of the fact that he is a billionaire. He is a candidate for POTUS and is clearly of, by and for the 1%.
He has repeatedly called Bernie Sanders a communist, which is but one of his many outrageous lies. However, let’s assume he is right and Sen. Sanders is a communist. What does that mean?
Historically, members of the Communist Party have fought for working people, the oppressed and the underprivileged. In other words, the 99%.
Mr. Trump says that given the choice between an entrepreneur and a communist, he will choose the entrepreneur. Of course he would, since his interests lie squarely with a 1% and he is opposed to the interests of the 99%.
Mr. Sanders repeatedly says that he will fight for the interests of the 99%. It is crystal clear that Mr. Trump will fight for the interests of the 1%.
It is clear that people in the 1% should vote for Mr. Trump. It’s just as clear that people in the 99% should vote for Mr. Sanders.
We will see soon if working people fight for their own interests or shoot themselves in the foot once again.
