I have always thought I could find some good in just about everybody. I do believe all of us are basically rotten, but most people can at least control their rottenness to some extent and show compassion for others.
I believe Donald J, Trump is the first person I have encountered that I can say without question is rotten to the core. His personality disorder apparently prevents him from showing any empathy or concern for others, so he can make terrible, hurtful comments about other people and have no regrets. His inability to apologize for mistakes or ask for forgiveness are sad reminders of a man trapped in a mind devoid of true emotions of love, empathy, concern for others, etc. He can not care for others because his mind will not let him. He sees only himself and how he is treated and does not have the mental capacity to put himself in someone else's shoes emotionally.
Donald's handicap does not allow him to understand how other people can show love and concern for those who are hurting or are being unjustly treated. His reaction is to label concern or love as a sign of weakness. He became a bully because of his handicap and continues to act as a bully today because he has no capacity to understand or feel the pain of the person being bullied.
Donald is a cold, empty shell of a human being and should be removed from the presidency as soon as possible.

WHO IS TO BLAME?
Both political parties are to blame for Trump's ascendancy to power.
The Republicans field just did not know how to respond to Trump in the primary. They all looked like a bunch of weak kneed incompetents and he made them look like fools. They Just did not know to react to a man who lied all the time and called them names and ridiculed them. They could have pulled the plug on him at the convention, but they did not have the guts to do it. Result---we get an amoral candidate who becomes President.
The Democrats blew their chance with lack of a plan to deal with those in the Rust Belt and rural areas of the country. I personally saw the strategy when I asked a staffer about rural areas during the campaign. The campaign according to him was focused on new voters in the intercity (minorities) and was not going to spend money on other areas. Apparently this was done nationwide and was instrumental in Hillary's loss.

DONALD MUST GO
Sometimes you have to get really sick before you get better.
That is what we as a nation are currently going through. Any one who has the illusion that they (the KKK, Neo-Nazis, the white nationalists) are the problem needs to look in the mirror. The continued polarization of the the country along racial and cultural lines has been on going for hundreds of years. We are all part of the problem and thus can be part of the solution.
The monumental changes over the last 50 years have been too much for many Americans. Think about it. From "Jim Crow" to a Black President. From Gays in the Closet to same sex marriage. From Coal to Solar. From wall phones to cell phones. From stick shift to driverless cars. From a farm raised President to a billionaire President. For most of us, this progressive movement is exciting; but for others, it scares them to death. Along comes Trump and he will solve all their problems and take care of them, as only he can. For some he must appear almost "god-like" in his attraction. When you watch Trump's rallies, think of them as religious revivals and his rantings as the "gospel according to Trump". When does he start extolling them to violence? That is when the real problems begin and our country may be destroyed in the process.
We as humans have a tendency to blame others for what ever causes us difficulty. "The other" is a common refrain throughout history when searching for the seeds of conflict, unrest, wars, etc. Our current "seed thrower" is President Donald J. Trump and he is doing a bang-up job of finding "the others" to blame for his failures and is successfully convincing his core supporters to agree with him. People who are fearful are always vulnerable to manipulation by demi-gods and conmen. Thus Trump's cult-like following. They are the proverbially lemmings jumping off the cliff. This is not new. Mob rule is often depicted in movies and stories; and always follows the same pattern of fear followed by violence against the supposed threat. The Salem witch trials are a classic historic example.
Mr Trump is a con-artist pretending to be President. He has survived his whole life by lying to people and convincing them of his sincerity. If they resist, he threatens them with all kinds of dire consequences and he usually has come out on top, because of his wealth and power.
Donald J. Trump must be removed from the Presidency as soon as possible He is a threat to our country's future and to the well being of the entire planet.

IT IS TIME
IT IS TIME
Chaos reigns in the White House. Donald TWEETS insane threats about war with North Korea and attacks Republicans for lack of action in Congress. But the incident that put me over the top was his thanking Putin for kicking 755 diplomats out of Russia.
It is my belief that President Donald J. Trump suffers from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and he is now showing the beginning signs of Alzheimers Disease (His Father died of the disease.). He is increasingly impulsive, erratic, and jumps from one topic or issue to another with little or no connection to reality. This man has his finger on the Nuclear button and we all need to fear what he might do next.
Over the first 8 months of his rule he has demonstrated the following:
1. He does not know how a democratic government works.
2. He shows no interest in policy or the details needed to run the country.
3. All he wants is a "WIN", no matter the cost to others.
4. He is a con artist who cares only about himself and does not seem to know how to keep the promises he has made.
5. He is obsessed with the investigation into his connections to the Russians and is scared to death of what may come to light.
6. He has a love affair with Vladimir Putin and does everything he can to please him.
Donald is bordering on being insane. His delusional tweets and rants are the vocal expressions of a brain that is NOT normal. He does not think or feel like most of us. He does not understand or empathize with people who are hurting, either physically or mentally. He believes in lashing out and attacking an opponent's weaknesses to make himself look good or superior. He is a cold, unfeeling man who could destroy others and have no regrets. He once said "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and they would still follow me", when referring to his supporters. Could he push a button and kill millions of people and not think twice about it?
IT IS TIME.
Donald has to be removed from the Presidency now, before he destroys the world as we know it. He has no real understanding of what awesome power he has at his fingertips.
I do NOT believe the Republicans in Congress will impeach him. They are cowards and fear they will be "primaried" by some right-wing nut who likes Trump. So they will cower in a corner, cover their heads and hope that the hell Donald creates will not hurt them.
The 25th Amendment to the Constitution allows for The Cabinet and/or Congress to decide if he is unfit either physically or mentally to serve as President. He can be removed by a major vote of either body. I do NOT believe these people have the "guts" to stand up to Trump, so this will never happen.
The citizens of the United States must rise up and demand that Trump step down as President. Why would he do it? Only one reason---family ties. If Donald agrees to resign, gives up his TWITTER ACCOUNT and the Trump family vacates the White House, then all prosecutions of Trump Family members involved in the Russian Investigation would stop.
IT IS UP TO US, SO LET'S GET TO WORK.

KING DONALD THE LAST AND SUPERFLY
KING DONALD THE LAST AND SUPER-FLY
There once was a kingdom ruled by King Donald The Last. He ruled by tantrum and tweet; and being blind and deaf he depended on his trusty sidekick Super-fly Jared to buzz around acting as his eyes and ears to the world. His Queen Melania, banished to the Golden Dungeon in the city of Always Awake, watched as the King and his daughter Princess Ivanka ruled from the Dusk House in the city of NO.
Upon his acendancy to the throne, King Donald was faced with an unhappy peasantry. He had promised wonderful things when he became king and they were slow in coming. The peasants wanted their piece of the pie and the king wanted to keep the pie, so a tug of war ensued that created a big mess.
Meanwhile the sinister forces of the sly, evil Vlad Putt and his buddy Sneaky Stevie were doing their best to "stir the pot" of oil and water to see how long it would take for it to boil over and explode.
The world watches with rapt anticipation as the battles go on with a new twist with each Tweet or Tantrum. The peasants are heating up the tar and plucking their chickens as they gird themselves for the war that is sure to come. They are loading their pitchforks, just waiting for a new Joan of Arc to come forward and say, "it is time to turn the city of NO into the city of YES.”

DONALD, THE GLACIERS ARE MELTING
DONALD, THE GLACIERS ARE MELTING
Donald, there are more than 50,000 glaciers in Alaska and they are all melting. At some point in the not too distant future the only way people will be able to visit your Mar-a-Lago estate will be with scuba gear and a snorkel.

UNDER THE BUS
UNDER THE BUS
The health care bill that died in the House last week would have bumped an estimated 24 million people off their health insurance plans. They would be back using emergency rooms or die early.
That was OK with President Trump because all he cared about was A BIG WIN no matter the cost to the most vulnerable citizens of our country. In the end he demonstrated what many of us suspected all along---that he cared not a wit about the people who supported him; he only cared about himself and his image.
He was willing to throw the poor, the sick, the poorly educated, the underemployed and all his adoring followers UNDER THE BUS to get HIS health care bill passed in the House of Representatives. What will it take for his CULT-LIKE FOLLOWERS to realize that this man has used them to get to the White House and has no intention or ability to deliver on the simplistic promises he made during his campaign?
