Opinion: Let’s give Trump cash reparations — in exchange for his retirement
By Dana Milbank Dana Milbank Op-ed columnist covering national politics Email Bio Follow Columnist May 6 at 7:31 PM How can we ever repay Donald Trump?This is why we should welcome Jerry Falwell Jr.’s proposal: America owes President Trump reparations.
Certainly, others have a more compelling historical claim on reparations. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren floated reparations for Native Americans, who suffered genocide. Another Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, has revived the idea of reparations for African Americans, for centuries of slavery.
Additionally, his fellow conservatives are being “treated so horribly” by Facebook, and “it’s getting worse and worse.” His opponents are playing “very dirty . . . like never before.” Andrew Napolitano, once an ally, is now talking about Trump’s guilt on Fox News . A less messy solution: cash reparations — a victim’s fund for our beleaguered billionaire. This would be relatively simple to implement, because we already have considerable experience shifting funds into Trump’s pocket.
