The ordinance would prohibit any person convicted of treason, sedition, related offenses, or a hate crime, from doing business with the city. But co-sponsors disagree on exactly how that could end up affecting Trump. – Fran Spielman (COMMENT: Expect that ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will punish those who do not hate Trump. In 2021, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. In 2020, they promoted LGBTQ big time in downtown Wheaton.)
