Trump has the emotional stability of a two year old and the attention span of someone who is afflicted with an "Attention deficit disorder". He's semi-illiterate - forced to use Twitter because he apparently lacks the ability to write in complete sentences. He's conducting Nuclear proliferation policies on Twitter and insulting the Chinese who are our biggest trade partner while kissing up to Russia whose economy is in tatters. He thinks Global warming is a hoax and that the world had an unlimited supply of fossil fuels.
He ships jobs overseas for his products while criticizing others who do the same. His best big buddies are the President of Israel and President Putin of Russia. We used to describe people like Trump as having constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the mouth. He has no concept of "conflict of interest". He doesn't read or study issues before spouting off for all the world to hear. Forget about Income tax laws and policies. He'll decide who pays taxes and how much. Forget about treaties- he'll decide which treaties to honor and which to ignore. The same with immigration, foreign affairs, the United Nations, and health insurance. He looks in the mirror every morning and says "people love me". God save us. God save the world.

Christians for Trump?
This is not fake news. Many Christians actually voted for Trump - a man who demeans and gropes women. Trump mocks disabled people and war heroes who get captured. He brags brags about the size of his daughters breasts. If you're a Christian what do you think Jesus would say about Trump's behavior?

Not fake!
Trump doesn't want to listen to dull repetitive security briefings. Remember when President Bush felt the same way? Early in his first term Bush flew home to Texas as often as he could and apparently missed the briefing about the terrorist plot to weaponize commercial aircraft. How many lives and wars might have been avoided if Bush has taken the warnings seriously and ordered all commercial airplanes to install security doors in order to prevent terrorists from gaining access to the cockpits? Being President is not a part time job. You don't get to go home every weekend and watch football games on TV. You don't get to tweet instead of holding press conferences and being held accountable for your actions and works by the Press. You don't get to run a business while you're running the Country.

Not fake!
Trump puts a climate change denier in charge of the EPA. An advocate of using pubic money to fund Charter Schools in charge of Education. The chairman of a fast food giant who opposes minimum wage legislation in charge of the Department of Labor, a retired physician with no experience managing a large government agency in charge of HUD, a General whose son publishes fake news stories in charge of Intelligence gathering, and a bunch of White Nationalists on board as his advisers.
You can't make stuff like this up folks. Trump makes up his "facts" as he goes along. Get ready for impeachment hearings when he fails to divest himself of his various business enterprises. Conflict of interest is Trump's middle name. Bankruptcy is his business model. Sexual harassment is his life style.
His popularity ratings are lower than the sitting President or Hillary Clinton. The man is an egocentric
con artist.

Fake News
Donald Trump, in a sudden reversal of his campaign promises, is going to urge the Senate to confirm the nomination of the Supreme Court candidate that President Obama sent to the Senate. He's also agreed to reveal his income tax records and sell all of his business interests in order to avoid any conflict of interest.

Trump verses Castro?
There are troubling similarities between these two leaders. Both prefer to deliver long speeches than actually govern. Both think they are above the law. Both punish those who disagree with them. Both are populists who attract the disaffected and impoverished but their policies favor the bankers and the political elites instead of the working people. It's interesting to note that the history of populist leaders usually evolves into cruel dictatorship governments where those who speak out are jailed or murdered.

Trump Protesters,
How many of you actually took the time to vote? How many of you didn't like either candidate and decided not to vote? If you're protesting now, it's too late. If you didn't vote you have no right to complain or protest.
We have no way of knowing if Trump is a racist but we do know for sure that he attracts racists and we do know that he's giving racists positions in his cabinet.
Those of you who voted for Trump hoping he would create jobs, have to ask yourself why he has all of his products made in foreign countries instead of hiring American companies to manufacture those products. When he complains about illegals ask yourself why he hired illegals to work on his buildings.
All those promises he made- listen and watch, he's already backing off on most of them and he's not even in office yet. The wall is going to be a "fence" now and it's not going to be everywhere.
Rounding up mexicans and muslims and deporting them in the firsts 45 days? Now becomes only deporting known criminals. Global heating is a hoax? Guess what. Alternative energy is creating thousands of new jobs. Bomb the hell out of ISIS. Guess what- not practical- chose another option.
Cancel all trade agreements? Guess what- there goes our export income. Cancel Obama care. Guess how many low income Republicans that's going to put in bankruptcy. If you bought Trumps promises you've been had by a real con artist folks.

Crooked Hillary?
If anybody should be "locked up" it's Crooked Donald Trump. He's a serial sexual harasser and groper who cheats on his income taxes and doesn't pay his bills. His college is a complete sham. Students are suing for a refund. He employs illegal immigrants and hires unregistered foreign Nationals and government agents on his campaign staff which is illegal. He lies about a putting up a wall on the Mexican Border- knowing that it will never happen. He insults physically handicapped people and war veterans. He lied to get out the draft for Viet Nam. He lied on his income tax statements. He encouraged Russian hackers to break into his opponents emails- which is illegal. He incites people to punch people who protest against him- which is illegal. He discussed details of his National Security Briefing which is illegal. He took aides to his National Security Briefing who had no security clearances. He lied about President Obama's birth certificate. Lock him up!

Our two party political system is the cause of many of our problems- especially when the two parties self identify along ideological lines. Life is not black and white. Life is all shades of gray. Politics is not the American League and the National league playing for the World Series. Conservatives and Liberal are not natural enemies- rather they're both sides of the same coin. When we flip a coin there are only two possible results- a winner and a loser. Our challenges are too complex to be debated and discussed in terms of winners or losers. Children bicker because they see things in terms of black and white. They only see their own self interest. Adults are capable of seeing beyond their own self interest. Adults know that we're all in this together. If there were no political parties our chances of finding agreement on the increasingly complex challenges we face would be greatly enhanced. After all we're all adults. It's time to put aside the school yard bickering and come together as a team - with mutual respect for each others points of view and enriched by diversity of those views.
