1. I was a bit disappointed by Thom on this interview
I was listening and I really thought he should have been more probing in his follow-ups or call Trump out and force an answer out of him.

2. Agreed.....the first question about the disproportionate impact on the Commons was great.....
.... but then he let him off too easily.

4. I did audio for a "motivational" event where Trump was a speaker
and I had never heard anything like it before or since. The man's religion is money. I couldn't recognize one bit of humanity in that man. He was.... cold.

6. The super-rich don't retire, because their "work" is making MORE money
they don't roof houses, lay carpet, build roads, etc..

People who do what THEY do, don't NEED to "retire"..
