Pledge Hedge
The incoming administration vowed on the campaign trail to do everything in its power to benefit American workers. “We will build American, buy American and hire American,” Trump said during a rally in August.
Despite that pledge, the Republican leader’s own businesses sought to hire more foreign guest workers this year than any other year on record, according to a review of government labor data. Companies linked to some of the Republicans’ top political backers and administration picks have also been given the green light to use guest workers this year.
Is it too early to call him a liar? …. Oops, too late. America already KNEW he was a liar and a convict.

For Sale
To say that the structure of the economic policy Trump is planning will be “especially vulnerable to corruption” is like saying that being struck by an automobile moving at 70 mph in the 25 mph zone in front of my house might make my grandchildren “especially vulnerable to serious injury.”
Really? Is America for sale?
Is that it? Are we done now?
Let me know. Thanks.
