We have been fleeced – it’s deplorable!

Ryan Zinke, Trump’s most recent grifter, is out. How about Steve Mnuchin, Scott Pruit, Ben Carson? And let’s not forget the oh-so-upright General Flynn, offered what, five million bucks to kidnap a cleric for Erdogan and the Turks?

Trump promised he would hire only the best people. Obviously he meant the best grifters. Of course, our Grifter in Chief knows a top-of-the-line grifter when he sees one. I’ll bet his tax return will show giant Deutsche Bank loans guaranteed by the Kremlin. He’s evidently taught the trade to Kushner, famously “in the pocket” of either the Saudis or the Chinese, or maybe both.

And now Ivanka, with the revelations about the incredible inauguration money and her rip-off for the Trump D.C. hotel rooms. It just never ends.

America, we’ve been fleeced. How deplorable!
