Tons of folks don't follow news & may think of Trump as a successful business man due to the Apprentice.
Know anyone like that? In case they missed it, recommend the 2018 documentary "The Confidence Man," S1.E6 of Netflix's DIRTY MONEY.
Ties to Russian oligarchs noted.

Please Labour,
Stop with this Reform-aping arseholery. We see it for what it is and we hate it. We’re v tired of the nastiness, the cowardice and the dishonesty of blaming immigration for govt failures.
Put this nasty messaging in the bin and do better.
Thanks
