It's immoral to hoard hundreds of millions of dollars when all around you people suffer from hunger, homelessness, and a lack of personal freedom caused by unfettered greed. Money is a tool, it's an expression of our values and energy. It needs to be in circulation, not hoarded!

This maniac Felon told NBC that if Iran does not immediately agree to a nuclear deal there will be “BOMBING THE LIKES THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!” Remember, he pulled out of a nuclear deal in 2016 negotiated by Obama. They are now days or weeks from having nuclear weapons!

This needs to be said more and loudly.

He is his own ponzi scheme.
