I invite the press to report on one selfless act Trump has committed in his whole life.

He ran a marketplace where people bought and sold bad stuff. A few people died from products sold on his marketplace.

But he didn't, himself, sell a product that kills thousands like, say, cigarettes, oil & gas, guns, or health insurance. Where are the life sentences for execs of those companies?
