Trump should practice what he preaches before going after others, especially low-income families who don’t have powerful friends to protect them.

Donald Trump’s administration wants to put new limits on federal aid to low-income Americans.

He says he wants them to have an incentive to work so that they can become self-sufficient. This from a “businessman” who has refused to pay his contractors, cheated workers out of their deserved wages and filed bankruptcy multiple times.

The Trump campaign still owes El Paso, Texas $470,000 for a February campaign rally.

According to the Washington Post, the new owners of the former Trump Hotel in Panama have uncovered records showing that the Trump Organization evaded Panamanian taxes. 

This is presented in a legal filing.

If Trump is going to insist that low-income Americans stop taking government money, he should look in a mirror. Here is a “rich” man who doesn’t pay his bills. Trump needs to practice what he preaches before he goes after others, especially those who don’t have influence and powerful friends to protect them.
