Multi-millionaire Foster Friess all-in for Trump

Source: COSMO Politics

Republican mega-donor Foster Friess says he’s decided to support Donald Trump because he doesn’t believe people should be judged based on their past, or even present, behavior.

“My success came from harnessing people’s strengths and ignoring their weaknesses,” Friess told The Hill in an email Saturday morning, explaining for the first time in detail his reasons for supporting Trump.

“And also, from assessing people not according to their pasts or where they are today, but rather based on what they can become,” Friess added.

RE: "Republican mega-donor Foster Friess says he’s decided to support Donald Trump because he doesn’t believe people should be judged based on their past, or even present, behavior."

This man now believes ones' past should not be held against them. So where does this leave us? With that logic, Bill and Hillary get a PASS on Whitewater, Travel Office, Vince Foster, Bills' Adultery and Perjury.. right?

Or does this thinking only apply to GOP Presidential candidates?

My head hurts.

Friess identifies as a born-again evangelical Christian. Despite his professional success, he was unhappy due to a "marriage flirting with divorce and emotionally distant children"; in October 1978, Friess "did one of those 'born again' things"

He doesn't want to pay taxes. He's an investment manager

Well apparently he could harness his wife and children's strength or ignore their weaknesses

should be used against THEM.

But all of Donald Trump's racist remarks, racial feelings, sexual problems, adulterous affairs, shady business dealings....Not so much.

Trump's "dangerous" views on abortion and Friess's "crazy" thoughts on contraception go hand in hand.

Friess's thoughts on contraception: "This contraceptive thing, my gosh, it's so...inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives."

Friess's implication is that if women hold aspirin between their legs, they won't open them.

"The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly,"

No shock he's a supporter of Trump's. Dangerous & Crazy

While being interviewed by Andrea Mitchell, regarding contraception, Friess said, "And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it's so – it's such – inexpensive, you know, back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly"

And that is news?

To call Republicans human feces is being disrespectful to poop.
