Capitalism at least gives a chance and the freedoms and liberties, while socialism and communism give nothing. Author of this book does not believe that the liberal democrats are sincerely interested in prosperity of the migrants, immigrants and the minorities. All they want is to use them for their own benefits. Trump does. Buy this book from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Trump-2020-Thoughts-Minority-Migrant/dp/1733867813/
