Robert Reich: The Only Success Trump Has Had Is ‘Not as Businessman But Really as a Con Man’

EXCERPT:

REICH: “Donald Trump’s only other policy is to reduce taxes on mostly the wealthy and big corporations, as he did before. He promised, you'll remember, that that would improve everybody’s bottom line by $4,000. Well, did it yours? Did it mine? I can tell you, I don’t know anybody who got $4,000 wealthier because of the Trump tax cut. And finally, Joy, all of his notions about — well, he’s a successful businessman, I mean, the only success he’s had is not as a businessman, but really as a con man. He’s a successful con man. But if you had taken all of the money he got from his father and put it into an index fund, just a stock index fund, closed the door, never looked at it again, it would do better than he now has done. It would be actually — he would be wealthier than he is today."
