A Letter To The Editor: Palmer Gillis Is Donald Trump

Joe,

I have sat quietly and listened to the many comments about the article written by Palmer and his wife. As someone who has some knowledge of Palmer’s history I must tell you I am shocked. When you look at the similarities between Palmer and President Trump you have to ask yourself… has Palmer looked in the mirror lately? Is this the pot calling the kettle black? The similarities between the two men “on scale” are amazing. Like President Trump, Palmer is a builder developer. But the similarities don’t stop there! Both men in their own right have built significant wealth buying land and developing that land. Both men have taken advantage of their positions (public and political) to make deals that others could not make. Both men have had previous marriages that did not end well for similar reasons. Both men have been active in their children’s lives and helped their children get good educations and become successful and decent human beings. The rhetoric used by Palmer to describe the impact of the Trump flag reminds me of something President Trump would say in a 3 AM tweet. Many people call President Trump crass, arrogant and many other things. In my humble opinion for Palmer to think that his sphere of influence is so great that other should do things his way and his way only is pretty arrogant.

Maybe Palmer is just jealous of Trump. I know many people don't like Palmer because of his shady dealings over the years. You can't keep stepping on the little people and intimidating others and expect people to like you Palmer. Fact is they don't like you and talk about you behind your back.

We've been hearing since the day President Trump announced he was running about all these ruthless business deals. How he owes money to so many sub contractors and how some even had to go out of business because of Donald Trump. Funny thing is no one has yet to produce any of these people. That' because it is fake news-All Lies.
For the record in Atlantic City people were paid well above market value for their properties for him to develop the Taj Mahal. By well above I mean 10x's what they could have sold for on a good day in AC. 100,000$ properties many shacks that had seen better days and no money for the owners to make repairs and keep up sold for 1 million.

So true.

Personally, I don't think that Palmer wrote the letter himself, but just put his name to it. Who has the power to make him do such a thing?

"Both men have been active in their children’s lives and helped their children get good educations and become successful and decent human beings." Is Brad Gillis really a decent human being?

but Trump got his from working deals. Gillis got his from screwing people over.
