You call 10 … 20 … 30 … 40 … 50 … 60 former USFL players, coaches and officials, ask about Donald Trump, and they ALL loathe the man, and blame his selfishness and ego and greed for the collapse of a good football league.

I’m not saying this because I dislike Donald Trump.

The way he ran the New Jersey Generals, and bullied the league into a quick death, will be the way he leads America.

This should scare you.
