In his syndicated column Sept. 29, Cal Thomas wrote that “only one candidate for president is capable of overturning the ‘money changers’ in Washington.”
He refers to Donald Trump — the same non-money-changer who filed bankruptcy at least four times — each time short-changing his investors and financing with more junk bonds.
That is the same non-money-changer who, as his casinos failed, made millions for himself, often by shifting his personal debts to his businesses.
That is the same non-money-changer who, when he pulled out of Atlantic City, put numerous local subcontractors out of business by failing to pay them.
According to the New York Times (June 11, 2016), Atlantic City’s top casino regulator remarked, “So when he left Atlantic City, it wasn’t, ‘Sorry to see you go.’ It was, ‘How fast can you get the hell out of here?’”
Let’s hear it for the non-money-changer.
