In a roundtable interview with MSNBC's Chris Jansing that included Hollywood actors and other political leaders, former Sen. Barbara Boxer said "we" have to "make" the middle class understand that Trump is not their friend. The panel included Jamie Lee Curtis, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D), a Black Lives Matter activist, and Tony Goldwyn, star of ABC's Scandal and grandson of MGM studio mogul Samuel Goldwyn.

"I want to jump in with something specific that he did on the very first day that didn't get that much coverage," Boxer said. "There was an order that was signed that made it more expensive now for middle income home buyers to buy homes, and as a result, tens of thousands fewer Americans will do it. We have to make sure that the middle class understands he's not their friend."

"In our case as celebrities or actors, we can -- we're useful in convening people. Like people come show up sometimes just because they want a selfie," Goldwyn said of their importance. .......

OMG, what a discussion panel of FREAKS!!!! ( on the floor laughing, rolling back and forth, I can’t get up, I’m laughing too hard!)

If this is who the Rats are turning to for “expert” advice, this is fabulous! The Rat party continues to gut itself, the schadenfreuda is delicious.

*Obama wanted to make it easier for people with low credit ratings to get a mortgage. So he had the government pay the lenders a subsidy to keep the interest rate lower than what the lenders would normally charge riskier borrowers. Trump put an end to the subsidy. This is what she is talking about.

Isn’t this how we got in trouble - giving subsidized mortgages to people for homes they couldn’t afford?*

Thank you for replying - I didn’t know what the President signed, but I did know the skank was lying- simply because she was flapping her gums...
