Polis: 'I'm not a socialist like Donald Trump'Gov. of Colorado Jared Polis tells Chuck that he does not support bailing out corporations because, 'I'm not a socialist like Donald Trump.' Trump the socialist, now I'm done.😜😷👀 Stimulating the economy is not the same as permanent UBI, universal healthcare or 'free' everything. It's a leg up during hard times, then taken away once we recover. The latter would bankrupt the country in months or years. I am out. I cannot even with this year.
