"Trump is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library"......USA Today editorial!

USA Today is NOT a liberal newspaper. It does not strain the brain to read and understand it, and yet, has just come out and SLAMMED Trump for his Tweet about Gillibrand.

A president who'd all but call a senator a whore is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine George W. Bush's shoes:
With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash, President Trump has shown he is not fit for office. Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low.

This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt.

Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.

Barack is 'Light'.
He has the aura.
A true human being personified.
Those eight most wonderful and peaceable years went all too quickly.

I want him back bad.

Yes he represents our better angels.

Maybe he can help behind the scenes or take a more public role.
He is starting to make speeches warning us about how quickly dictatorships can form.

He's never cleaned one in his life. He is too incompetent to accomplish anything he considers a menial task.

Even in dropping the hammer on Trump our “liberal media” has to go w/the “both sides do it meme. Obama
did not tell lies and he was and is decent man. w bush missed 70 + warnings about 9-11 and then used it to
start an unneeded war in the middle east that killed > 1,000,000 people, that left 230,000 Americans
with traumatic brain injury (includes Iraq and Afghanistan), given brain cancers to over 5,000 G.I.s, and created ISIS
(which led to the massive migration of people from Syria) he is not a decent man.

All it takes is a few to step forward then the rest will feel safe enough to pile on, then the remaiing will fear being left out and jump in.
and THEN...the up to now way too silent repubs. will start clearing their throats.
Lastly, of course.
which we will remember AND remind people of, come next year.

I have not been this furious about that party since Nixon.
