Are their tax cuts worth it? For certain industries, sure they may not see a direct hit. But for retail industries - what happens if their businesses takes a hit due to the hate that Drumpf continues to stoke? What happens if people become so fearful they stop going to the malls, walmart, JC Penny, Macys, Chilis, Applebees, Red Lobster, movie theaters, etc?

These business owners should be speaking out. Do they want the streets to become the wild wild West? Do they want mass murders in American malls? Can they not see how this would possibly affect many local businesses? If businesses in the malls, movie theaters, are not making money - then the people working there are not taking that money and spending it in local areas-

If Drumpf continues to stoke racism and violence, this could very well happen. Are their tax cuts worth this?

When people are incited with hate and fear on a daily basis. How long before he suggests it's ElPaso's fault because they are liberal and many immigrants are there? He gets people angered by doing that for many reasons.

Trump was elected solely because he smeared good people coming here for work. You can say we don’t want them. Fine. But when he smears them as rapists, as MS13, as drug dealers, many believe him. Some want to kill based on that big lie. Trump really does have blood on his hands.
