Robert Reich: Kamala Harris Dragged Trump for 90 Minutes Straight

Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
Donald Trump went to Wharton ... but Wharton is not spreading the word! My views on Trump are clear. I see him as a despicable character who is all about himself, and 'to hell' with everbody else.

I am an old white man. I was born in 1940 in the UK during the early days of WWII and grew up learning something about faschism and the Nazis. Trump is a little bit younger than I am, and grew up as a 'rich entitled white brat' in New York City.

I have lived in the United States for most of my adult life ... and have done work in something like 50 countries around the world. I got to meet Trump in Atlantic City in the 1990s and was appalled at his 'modus operandi'. His casinos in Atlantic City 'failed' but Trump lost little in the bankruptcies while thousands of workers and small contracters lost everything. This is the essence of Trump.

It bothers me that Trump got to be President of the United States once ... and the idea that he could win again raises serious questions about the mental state of the American populace, its media and its institutons!
