This is a response to anyone who thinks that those who oppose Trump should not be welcome within business establishments or anywhere. I will be civil because Republicans are now demanding civility. (Ironically, I’ve always strived to be civil but have been accused of sounding “politically correct,” a derogatory euphemism which I equate with civility.) I prefer the company and business establishments of people who support the Constitution of the United States and who uphold truth and decency. I trust them more!
Trump’s businesses go bankrupt, as do his morals. My description of a Trump supporter is a person who cares so little for the truth, he/she willingly and blindly accepts Trump’s myriad, daily, all-encompassing lies, which get repeated so much they become accepted as “truth.” (Trump even lied to Forbes to get on the Forbes 400 list.) I won’t go into detail, because my position is easily supported by many online fact-checking sites, such as Politifact. I’ve included only one here, but the list is staggering, and some of his lies are dangerous to America’s national security.
Trump supporters, you’ve been conned. It should be at the top of all our bucket lists to live again in a constitutional democracy. A summit with our country’s deadliest adversary, Putin? Seriously? If you think this is OK, truly, you’ve drunk from Trump’s “Golden Showers.”

At least it says opinion at the top of the page. Well I think your opinion is idiotic and I am sure you feel the same about mine. He is doing exactly what I elected him for – making America great again. You are still butt hurt and consumed with Trump derangement syndrome a year and a half later because your flawed and corrupt candidate couldnt shatter that glass ceiling. Oh, Im sorry. You were probably a Bernie supporter. You should be even more upset that your candidate got screwed by the DNC and the swamp…
I agree with you, Mary. Unfortunately, there are people like Haleraiserdad3 who enjoy 45’s hateful rhetoric and, for some reason, seem to think he has the potential to “make America great again”. The key word in his dog whistle slogan is “again”. Make it great again for whom? African Americans? Japanese Americans? Native Americans? Women? the LGBTQ community? Let’s just work towards making America great. For all of us.
I think people like Haleraiserdad support trump because he’s a mean and nasty guy and they are also mean and nasty people, happy at last to have a public outlet for their inner demons. Hale’s post is just dripping with condescension, as it typical of his cult.
We should have listened more carefully to Mike Bloomberg.
Most of us who have created a business know that were only as good as the way our employees, clients and partners view us, Bloomberg explained. Most of us dont pretend were smart enough to make every big decision by ourselves. And most of us who have our names on the door know that we are only as good as our word, but not Donald Trump.
Bloomberg ripped Trumps business history, including his multiple bankruptcies and approximately 3,500 lawsuits. The current Bloomberg LP CEO also added that he didnt need a million dollar check from his father to start his company.
Trump says he wants to run the nation like hes run his business. God help us. Im a New Yorker, and I know a con when I see one.
Trump is a reeking sack of rat feces soaked in cat urine & his moronic supporters are smears of brown on wads of buttwipe. They’d get toff on Putin whizzing into their mouths.
