My mouth hung open because I couldnt believe that she really asked that. Shell shocked as I was, I could have answered but the place was noisy. I said Ill text you.
Help me give her a long list!!!

Anything they can get out of the old bastard!
May I steal that?
I'll leave out "elderly", though. His age is no excuse.

(7,700 posts)...school one day and told me that, in a reply to a class assignment, he found out that one student's mom did not know who the VP was (Cheney at the time.)
We can't expect others to see. Sometimes we need to tell them in a loud voice! Like yours! ThanksBigman!

(6,913 posts)It s wrong and the ends do NOT justify the means. If shes a Christian, he should be anathema. He lies, he steals, he bullies, he threatens. He violates the Constitution constantly. His threats to free speech are appalling. He flagrantly violates the law (Hatch Act, campaign finance violations among others). If she waves those illegal acts as unimportant, point out theres no reason to obey any laws if he doesnt.
I must care, its very difficult for me to type. Worth the discomfort.

(18,890 posts)Utterly incapable of seeing ANYTHING outside of himself. Deep, horrifying terror whenever he looks in his eyes.... trapped, terrified.
But he has managed to hold in the full Batshit insanity for 20 or so years.
I dont think he will be able to for much longer.

(31,261 posts)He is immoral: cheated on every wife. Had sex with teens, porn stars, playboy bunnies.
He is not a hard worker: golf and watching television appear to be his primary interests.
He is poorly prepared to deal with world issues: He is letting our country get run over by pulling out of international agreements, using poorly thought tariffs, running up the national debt by $3.5 trillion dollars in just over 2 1/2 years. Bush left President Obama $14 trillion of on/off the books debt. President Obama faced a national economic crisis coming is, but increased debt by only $4.5 trillion over 8 years.

(14,491 posts)Aside from a very long list of wrongdoing after the 2016 election, tRump should never have been allowed on the ticket. If the GOP had any respect for democracy and basic morals, they should have vetted him off the ticket but they didn't.
He has virtually no knowledge of government and diplomacy (American or international) or history and has a shady criminal background. He has a well-documented history of being a serial liar, con man, sexual pervert and cheater on taxes, his wives and his contractors.
For many years, tRump has shown every indication of being a severe narcissist and psychopath, indicated by lack of self control, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, cruelty and total lack of respect for society's norms and laws.
He's continued that historical behavior in the White House in hundreds of ways.....
