What were your views of Trump before he became president? Steve Harrison, lives in Brooklyn, NY Since I’ve lived in NYC since 1970 I had the opportunity to watch Trump before he polished up his self-serving PR act for the road. My opinion of Trump locked in in 1972. I was living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in a brownstone which was also home to two other musicians. One of them was a drummer for a popular singer/songwriter. He told me that his mother had been denied an apartment in Trump Village. She was a registered nurse at Roosevelt Hospital but had landed a new job at Coney Island Hospital which would put her in closer proximity to her aging mother. She had a friend in Trump Village who wanted to live in Manhattan so they decided to switch apartments. They got approval from the respective management companies of both apartments to assume the current leases. One of those management companies was Trump Organization, which had recently been handed over to a 26 year-old brat named Donald Trump. My friend’s mother was black but her friend was white. When she went to the Trump office to sign the lease, the agent got flustered as soon as she saw who was moving in. Or rather, her race. She got her boss (Trump) who told her the apartment was no longer available. “What do you mean no longer available?” There were two years left on the extant lease and they already had written approval from Trump’s management company for her to assume that lease. “Someone else is on the waiting list for it.” How could that be when the current (white) tenant had never given notice and was in fact entitled to lease renewal under NY Rent Control? There was no “waiting list” at Trump Village. In fact, they were advertising available apartments for rent on the office bulletin board. “So rent me one of those vacant apartments!” “Sorry, they’re already rented.” She said she knew a racist when she saw one. She was one of the complainants leading to Trump getting sued by the DOJ in 1973 for racist business practices in Trump Village under the Fair Housing Act. That was my first impression of Donald Trump. It slid even further into the mud when Trump attempted to bully tenants with leases, some of them in their 70s and 80s, out of a building he bought and wanted to condo: the infamous 100 Central Park South. He engaged in a campaign of harassment against them: turning off their heat, their hot water, disabling the elevator, even removing the lobby security door to force them out. (As always, Trump disclaimed any knowledge of what his building manager did, even though the company he hired was known for precisely these aggressive, illegal tactics). I got the details from my attorney, David Rozenholc, who also represented the 100 CPS tenants. Trump lost big time in court. Trump sealed the deal he cut with the tenants but I met one of them later and know that Trump got hosed. If he had simply bought them out of their leases, which was the convention among professional developers, he would have been tens of millions ahead. But being an arrogant jackass he refused, telling my lawyer that he’d never pay someone to leave his property. As if leases are a one-way street. Since then, he’s managed to sink even further. He ripped off a friend with a catering company for 50 grand as well as musicians I knew who played at his various self-aggrandizing events. Trump is beyond redemption and rehabilitation in my book.

Is Tucker Carlson on Fox News correct that so many people have addictions because of liberalism? Steve Harrison, Bass Player Let’s see: Drug Use by State: 2019’s Problem Areas What I see in the Top 20 states with the highest drug problems are mostly “red” states. Of the 82 US counties with the worst opioid addiction and death rate, 77 of them voted for Trump in 2016. Is Rush Limbaugh saying the same thing? I doubt it.
