OPINION — Trump threw paper towels to the crowd on 10/03/17 at Calvary Chapel in Guaynabo Puerto Rico during a relief visit after hurricane Maria. How demeaning that was.

Now he is going to give me $5,000 of my own money to vote MAGA? How demeaning is that? My vote can’t be bought or sold. 18 U.S. Code § 597 makes it illegal to solicit, accept or receive any such expenditures in consideration of a vote.

In the scheme of things, $5,000 means little to me. In fact, I’m going to send $5,000 to the DNC to get MAGA defeated. I would pay that and more to stop the MAGA crowd from pillaging our economy and driving up the national debt for the benefit of the rich billionaires.

It would be worth $5,000 to me to stop Trump from tearing down buildings and plastering his name all over everything. I believe he and MAGA are pillaging and destroying our country and economy for their own aggrandizement.

Shame on them and those who vote for them.
