Quotes · Heidi N. Moore

“Trump’s historical function imo is that he exposes any system he’s in. As a real estate investor, he exposed the greed of the banks that lent money to him by playing them for fools. As a TV show host he exposed the cynical clawing ambition of people who work for him by showing how they would step on anyone for a job. As president he has exposed...what America wants to let itself be, what cruelty we will allow as a country. He has also exposed the hypocrisy of Europe and Israel. Trump doesn’t do this intentionally nor does he care about justice. He participates in the evil and by participating, he shows how ugly these systems are.”
