He was on NPR last election cycle claiming Trump would not a lot of things he was threatening to do.
Claimed he knew him and we all needed him as President.

We do not need Billionaire Catsimatidis. He is anti-democracy and pro not being fairly taxed. He is typical of those who want to use the infrastructure we have built up to make themselves super rich and then trash our society.

This chapter is fully responsible for the Trump tyranny. He appears to be totally unrepentant.

Gristedes’s sounds like a horror show. Wonder who works there.
