#Trump Remarks Reveal a [Callous] #Billionaire Out of Touch

With his generational wealth, his 20-acre Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, FL, & his lucrative family businesses around the world, Trump has never…[been]…an ordinary American.

Instead, he has argued that he could use his [bogus] business savvy to help lift up the country’s forgotten men & women.

But in recent weeks, as Americans feel deep economic strain from the #war he launched in #Iran, Trump’s actions & words have opened him up to accusations that he is either out of touch with — or indifferent to — the lives of everyday Americans. [why not both?]

The costs are ballooning from Trump’s renovation, re-decoration & building spree in Washington, DC, & at the White House. He goes on social media posting frenzies that often focus on his pet projects, gripes & personal triumphs, including a 22-year-old newspaper review of his TV show, “The Apprentice.” But perhaps the most striking example came Tuesday, when #Trump was asked whether the economic hardship Americans are feeling would motivate him to make a deal to end the #war.
