Trump is just a fundamentally bad guy.

I didn't like the policies of prior Republican presidents but I can not thoughtfully say they were fundamentally bad or mean people, even Nixon who was caught on tape disparaging Jews, gays, African Americans, et cetera. I think he had a moral core somewhere that told him what he was doing was wrong. Trump lacks a moral core. He really is a golem. I believe I could sit down and have a thoughtful discussion with any of them. With Trump no f--king way.


I watched as much of his rally as I could stomach last night. It was basically him just denigrating other people and groups.

"a fundamentally bad guy." ... a text book case of a narcissistic sociopathic person.

I used to think I couldn't despise anyone more than George W. Bush, but compared to Trump, Bush is looking to me like nothing more than a sweet, addled-brained, bumbling old fool. He seems harmless by contrast. I know he started the Iraqi war, but I think there were a lot of people behind that and I don't think he was anything more than a puppet.

Hell, I could actually see sitting down with W and having a beer and a few laughs as long as we didn't discuss politics. I couldn't imagine being within 50 yards of Trump without wanting to gouge his eyes out. Even Michelle Obama seems to get on with W.

He reminds me of the guy who gooses the barmaid at a club and when she turns around he points to you. He reminds me of the guy who would get two homeless men to fight with a promise of fifty dollars to the winner and then not pay the victor.

they’ll just post a picture of tRump.

He always thought he’d have a special place in history, especially after being President. Well, he has but in ways he never imagined. There is nothing he can do to redeem himself, either. No act of charity or good deed, no kind words. He has done quite enough to assure his place in history. That in itself makes me very happy. I shouldn’t gloat over someone else’s misery, but with tRump I’ll make an exception.

Nixon said some horrible things about Native Americans. But he did more for them than any other president. He was an odd man.

Trump, on the other hand, is evil.

Don, Jr. is dumb as dirt, socially clueless, completely lacking in empathy, combative, congenital liar, etc. Just like dear old dad— who he wants to follow into the White House.

Plus, he joyfully kills exotic/endangered animals, and shows off his offensively engraved weaponry on social media.

Pardon the disgusting imagery, but this turd didn’t fall far from the asshole that sired it.

and The Orange One is definitely one of them.

There are selfish, greedy, ignorant, and stupid people in the world, too. Plenty of them. Many of them are delighted to support the traitorous con man that is 45, because he validates their hatred of people to whom they feel superior.

It's a sick relationship between the wannabe dictator and his wannabe noticed by a "rich" man supporters.
