This is a historic post because you have been where millions still are right now, and you can help lead them out of the woods without judgement.

You were conned but you had the guts to admit it, and the strength to rebuild your life. I admire your humility and fortitude.

Please consider starting a 12 Step Program for the millions who will need support as they recover from Trump’s abuse.

Totally serious.

I love these commentaries. They are raw, unfiltered, but most importantly, the truth. Keep up the good work Michael.

The farmers won’t come back from this. America will never be the same. The world has had enough of our bullshit. The policies we had in place were shattered, and should have been protected against con men in the WH. Same with our voting rights. We knew who he was.

Wow. One of your best articles and they are all good. This one needs to go viral. I pray for the farmers to get clarity and worry for their families. But, this man may on them into thinking this is short term and it’s not. Keep it up Michael we need you. Your courage is our strength.

Excellent piece. If this is not a wake-up call, then they are more brain dead than I thought. Meanwhile, my IRA is bleeding, and someone hid the bandages.

I'm pretty sure we'll see tariffs lifted in a few days after tRumps inner circle has had a chance to buy back all of the stock they need to cover their market shorting. In fact, this trick will be played over and over because anyone doing the regulating or enforcing has been fired or replaced.

No one knows better than Michael that Trump saves no one but himself. And that's over.
