(10,836 posts)It was always Donald Trump first.
In disingenuous claims, greed, idiotic proclamations.
The con was clear from the start: the admission that he'd spent his entire life greedy, greedy. greedy; the beautiful story of the snake he kept repeating during the campaign, the snake that eventually kills its rescuer; the comment that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose votes, etc., etc., etc. He telegraphed the whole crazy spiel, the endless lies, the rat-a-tat-tat disrespect for the press along with his ignorance, bigotry, sexism.
There was never 'another' Trump as Hillary rightly pointed out during the campaign. What we saw is what we got: the Ugly American boasting, bullying, braying like the jackass he is and has been throughout his life.
Always the Trumpeter first, a family code of dishonor.
America? A distant second if considered at all.
