Several years ago, I had a girlfriend who argued a lot with me. One of the many things we disagreed on was money. She seemed to think because we were dating, I was going to help her out financially and wanted me to help her with her new car payment. I pointed out that I drove a used car. I said, “How can I help you with your car payment when I’m driving a used car? I didn’t tell you to go out and buy a new car.”

That is my view of money. How can someone in a good financial situation ask someone who’s earning less for help? That is one of the many reasons I looked askew at former President Donald Trump.

The Begging Billionaire

This man claims to be a multi-billionaire but is constantly begging for money. He bills himself as a financial genius, yet money slips through his hands quicker than Lindsay Graham avoids a date with a heterosexual woman.

There are several memes online indicating that you have to be dumb to send money to a man who has a private jet. Of course, Trump fans are grossly unintelligent; that’s a polite way of saying stupid.
