“The part about business owners in New York worrying about being treated like Trump is nonsense.”
New York State and city have been corrupt since the founding. Operating a business in New York requires payoffs to politicians, state and local bureaucracies, unions, and organized crime. When a business, or its leader, runs afoul of the system of corruption, the system punishes and often eliminates the threat. Those who play the game, and don’t make waves profit and are protected.
During his 2016 campaign Trump spoke openly about payoffs to players in the system of corruption. He chose to buck the system and is paying the price. The other millionaire and billionaire business people in New York have no fears. Many of them are salivating at the prospect of the riches they will reap as the state dismantles Trump’s businesses. Hence no outcry from them.
White businessmen SHOULD be afraid. Because if black prosecutors take down Trump, they will be shaking down the rest of them next, Democrat or not.
