THE LAST WORD

Forget about Trump’s alleged political positions, as bad as they may be.  All patriotic Americans, regardless of Party or political beliefs, must oppose and denounce Trump because he has been proven to be -

·         Ignorant and incompetent, unwilling to listen or learn

·         Totally self-absorbed, caring about absolutely nothing but himself and his perception, whose only agenda is feeding his ego and lining his pockets.

·         Enamored with and envious of dictators and authoritative leaders.

·         Incapable of dealing with criticism like a mature adult.

·         Incapable of admitting and accepting responsibility for errors.

·         Delusional and mentally unstable.

·         Do you need any more reasons?
