Wealthy and spoiled

Fri., Sept. 27, 2019

I am 72 years old, about the same age as Donald Trump. While us poor whites, blacks and Hispanics were being shot up in Vietnam, Trump managed to get five draft deferments because his family was rich. And yes, I remember Jane Fonda. I put her in the same category as Trump: wealthy, spoiled and utterly lacking any credibility. Two people who never had to and never will worry about health care. Two people who do not live in the real world with the rest of us.
