(18,124 posts)the GOP is ripping us off while their clown leader encourages hate and violence in his base. So while we are distracted as we watch their evil, no one is raising any hell about the GOPers taking, taking, taking enriching themselves while shafting the poor, farmers, seniors. Anyone living on the poverty line and struggling.

Donald Took Revenge by Cutting Off Health Coverage for a Sick Infant
The story begins after the death of Trumps father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddys family was largely cut out.
When Fred Sr. died, Freddys children sued, claiming that the will had been procured by fraud and undue influence by Donald and the other surviving siblings, according to Johnston.
Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddys grandson (Donalds grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarchs death in 1999 said that all costs for the sick childs care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didnt last long.
A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddys son (Donalds nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge.
