"Donald Trump's presidency is a morality lesson.

Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character."

THAT is saying a lot, because we (as a nation on the North American continent) have done some really horrific shit, but compared to the abject failure, hypocrisy, theft, prevarication, assault (sexual or other) and constant bloviating that is the Tangerine Menace, the aggregate can't hold a candle to his mendacity and grift.

I hate him more than any other human being ever. If I could watch him be tortured, I would not try to intervene or stop it. If I could push a button and he would end by universal karma, I would hit that button so hard it would need to be made of diamond to avoid cracking.

IS HE DEAD YET?????

EVERYONE knew that Trump was an incompetent criminal clown. He basically ran the stupidest race to the bottom campaign of all-time ("eating the dogs, eating the cats"???? REALLY????) and somehow convinced enough racist people to not vote for the much better qualified minority woman. Its a gut punch to anyone of room temperature or better IQs.

ANY vote for Trump, EVER is a disqualifying act for me. I want NOTHING to do with any of them, but a save a special place of enmity in my heart for the Fox News watching "triple Trumpers". Unforgiveable.

He served his country in multiple ways and did not denigrate people. He was an advocate for civil rights and gay rights. You could say his views were eclectic, but never mean.

I will say that there is not a single Republican currently in the Senate that can measure up to him.

Another 5 percent or so would keep supporting him over any Democratic candidate.
