Mitch Rudoff: Who will bail out Trump the next time?

I watched a talk show in the 1980s (Phil Donahue) and on one particular show the guest was Donald Trump. He was there to promote his book on winning and getting to the top in business. Six months later he was bankrupt. I believe his father bailed him out.

At a personal level, this may be admirable to help out a son. I hope D. Trump doesn’t carry over this philosophical mentality if he’s elected president. If Trump is elected and retains this bailout philosophy, he’ll turn the White House into an outhouse.

Mitch Rudoff, Modesto
