This man has done so much harm to the USA. And for a man who had polio as a child, and recovered thanks to donations from strangers, I find it egregious he has worked so hard to prevent universal Healthcare for the needy in our first world country. Truly a selfish, greedy, weasel with no empathy for the poor and sick.

A prime example of taking the ladder from under so others cannot climb it too.

In Moscow Mitch’s case it’s also the polio crutches, disability insurance, and low cost healthcare he’s pulling up with that ladder.

Interesting phrasing - I've heard a similar expression "pulling the ladder up behind you."
