When he blatantly and falsely accused President Obama of not being born in America.


I realized at that moment that if he ever was put into the oval office that we were in deep trouble.

Here is a man who did not know there were three branches of government and he wanted to run for president. He had to know he knew nothing about running a country. He cannot even run a business successfully. He knows nothing about how to treat people under his command. He is a total dipshit. Plus, he announced he would let give Putin anything and everything he wanted, if elected, which was already against America's interests. So, he hadn't even gotten in yet when he was nodding and winking at Putin that the fix was in. Of course, he let Putin install him at that point, all for greed. Everything about Trump is greed and selfishness. This country does not matter to him. He was never not a traitor.

president because his birth certificate was a fake. I knew then he was a racist, gaslighting, hate-mongering, ignorant, disgusting traitor.

Not to mention "I have people on the ground in Hawaii, and you would not believe what they are finding."

I knew he was an outright traitor when HRC called him out as Putin's puppet.

knowing I grew up in N.Y., asked me what I thought of him. Without thinking at all, I blurted out: “He’s an insane, traitorous fascist. She was shocked, but didn’t object to the first two adjectives. She did object to the third, saying: “ Surely not a fascist.” “Yes, I assured her, he is.”

with Lavarov and Kislyak (forgive if misspelled) where no American media were allowed in, and he gave away that classified info. The pictures of them guffawing and laughing it up are grotesque, and STILL turn my stomach.
