Many Hispanic voters heard secure the border and deport violent criminals. What they got was cruelty to: workers, parents, grandparents, children, longtime residents and people with no criminal conviction. This is buyer’s remorse on an epic scale. #LetsGetVoteReady

Trump is planning to host a third gala for the top investors of his $TRUMP crypto coin. He and his family have raked in $2.2 billion from their crypto ventures, while their investors have lost almost the same amount. They’ll fleece anyone they can — even their own supporters.
