Donald Trump is a big fat racialist bigget as far as I am concerned.  He
does not deserve to be president at all.

Good morning Brad and everyone!

     Hallelujah!I'm glad I'm not the only one saying these things. What
really excites me is that we have a presidential candidate that if elected
will do much to change the mindset of the American people with respect to
success and financial literacy. One way to improve employment prospects for
Americans including the blind is to have more job creators which is exactly
what entrepreneurs do. We deeply admire someone who is not afraid to tell
the American people exactly like it is even if it may seem over the top at
times. It's a matter of strategy. All of us can achieve what Donald Trump
has accomplished and much more if we treat our businesses like businesses
not as welfare programs.
