Trump Openly Said He Wants To Punish The Poor. Believe Him

[B.See]

Apparently Trump thinks only the well-to-do deserve to own a home. Which should come as another EYE OPENER for his poorer red state maga devotees who also depend on assistance programs, Medicaid, the ACA etc.

But many of them will give that a pass too, seeing as how Trump has them convinced some demonized minority BOOGIEMAN is the cause of their woes, and not the corporate elite, or grifting sobs like HIM who've been cruising their whole fkng lives.

Some interesting introspection in this op-ed.

Trump Openly Said He Wants To Punish The Poor. Believe Him - Newsone

...when Donald Trump says housing prices should stay high to protect homeowners, he isn’t offering a bold economic vision — he’s repeating one of the oldest scripts in the country: protect wealth at the top and call it fairness.

And then he said the quiet part out loud: “People that own their homes, we’re gonna keep them wealthy. We’re gonna keep those prices up,” he said. “We’re not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn’t work very hard can buy a home.”

Because... Donald Trump hates the poor. He always has. Which is why he’s spent his entire life working to create this image of opulence that always comes across as overly wrought and tacky....

Affordable housing isn’t a threat to stability. It is stability. And when Trump notes that he doesn’t want to open up the exclusivity of home ownership so that “somebody who didn’t work very hard can buy a home,” it’s because he equates personal economic instability to laziness which is rich coming from a man that has had his whole life from properties to The Apprentice to his current squatting address gifted to him. 

Happy holidays, MAGA: Trump’s war on the poor is hurting everyone The government shutdown may be over, but we can't forget which party wants to punish working people

1. It's pathetic

The rich Need to be forced into poverty if this bullshit they tell themselves about the poor translates into poverty hatred via legislation.

Every incoming senator must do two things to get thier seat.

Take the food stamp challenge
and
live on SSI wages and have only Medicaid for 3 months living in a randomly selected subsidized apartment complex .

No access to any other money sources no credit cards nothing.

They will lose thier cars private drivers etc.and take the bus or walk. If they cheat they lose thier seat.

Thier arrogance about poverty would take a serious challenge and they may stop the poor bashing. On the other hand I enjoy watching rich people live in thier biggest fear, being poor.

Some billionaires need more poverty so they can’t buy our government ever again.

I hate rich people because they steal from everyone. That theft to cover up what it is is called profit. Rich people are the lazy parasites the richer they are the more parasitic they are. And poor bashing from these parasites is laughable if it was not so cruel toxic and evil.

4. Every time...

... you think that this evil bag of rancid pus and his malignant minions can't possibly sink any lower... it's Tuesday, and they're OFF!

Republicans, you are going to pay for what you've done to the American people, whose name you so love to invoke when you're about to fuck them over... AGAIN.

I wish there really was a Hell, so we could take some grim satisfaction in knowing that you are ALL going to roast in it for eternity.
