Polisner criticized the new head of the United States for his plans to destroy health care and social security, for disrespect for military families and hatred of immigrants, Muslims and people of a different color.

I do not support President-elect Trump, I will not help him in any way. I will oppose him in all legal ways as his policies go beyond the constitution, they are criminal and morally unfair. Therefore, I am forced to leave the once great company, "wrote George Polisner.
