Trumpism will still be here after 2020

I think the 20204 Republican nominee will be Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump, Jr. It’s a cult.

Adelson donates $75 million to Trump

We need to get big money out of politics.

Here's the state of American democracy. You get one vote for president. So does Sheldon Adelson. Except—being a multibillionaire—he gets to invest $176 million to elect candidates who represent the rich. We must overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections. https://t.co/yL0UNFY06r

Trump’s tax cuts have saved Sheldon Adelson’s company at least $700 million.

The Adelsons just donated $75 million to a Trump super-PAC in a last ditch attempt to get him reelected.

Trump campaign distorts Fauci’s words

They won’t take the ad down. Networks shouldn’t have run this latest misleading Trump ad. Fauci is non-partisan and shouldn’t be used in a political ad. Fauci should quit. Trump isn’t listening to him, anyway.
