And listening to Congressman Torres talk about his background, growing up in public housing in the Bronx, literally in the shadow of a Trump golf course, it’s hard not to wonder at the absurdity of the gilded Trump and his billionaire gang trying to hijack the mantle of the common man.

Survey says: 88% of Americans think having billionaires run the country is a bad idea.

Unfortunately, when you ask 50% of them who they think is the right person to fight for their rights against said billionaires, they respond... Donald Trump (!?!?!?).
The human mind is beyond my understanding.

Trying to hijack the mantle? Succeeding at it, you mean.

And the common man clapping all the way.🤦‍♂️
