How Trump Is Using Westchester to Stir Up Suburban Fears
In an appeal to racism among white voters, the president says that

justice system, reveal a deep misunderstanding of how the world works.
People with money and power run our societies. The Harvard oligarchy study
found that what they want is what matters, and that the opinions of the
rest of us don’t matter. […]
"The best government money can buy"
