To be fair, I don't believe Trump's goal is more money for rich people.

I believe it's more money for himself but to do that he works towards more money for rich people because those rich people will in turn support and fund him further.

He's too damn selfish to actually consider people, rich or not.

Not even money, I have no doubt he just wants to be president to get out of all the rape and fraud accusations running against him.

The Romans are said to have conquered the world in self defense. Trump's plan is to ruin it instead. Easier.

It's funny to read this about self defense because I just wrote a letter to my representatives and NASA about funding for the Chandra X-ray telescope and pretty much used those terms too. We trade improvements to our shared existence in favor of "self defense" that just happens to bring us to other countries to bomb them all the time...

Before Trump, the Rich controlled America via the Politicians.

Trump just removed the middle man.
