  • Clark Howard, Wes Moss, and Trump

    When I read or watch the news and I hear about the outrageous & racist things that Donald Trump says on Truth Social, you can thank Wes Moss. Wes Moss helped Donald Trump found Truth Social.

    I hope Wes is NOT Clark’s successor.

    Some would say this is political, but I see it as rights & wrongs. So much human suffering has been unleashed by Trump and his acolytes. I can’t support you anymore Clark. Do you hold the same values as Trump/Moss Clark??
