I think I can trust him, I really do.

I think I can trust him to lower taxes on the wealthy and corporations
I think I can trust him to reduce spending on infrastructure and social programs that help average people
I think I can trust him to insult most if not all foreign countries and leaders.
I think I can trust him to carve out special favors, powers for his corrupt friends.
I think I can trust him to destroy the lives of many millions of Latino's, Muslims and others.


Yeah, I actually can trust him.

If I were, I wouldn't look at either of these losers.

For president, however, I do have some standards, although they are minimal.

You must not be a crook and you must not be a buffoon.

In my opinion, both candidates flunk the first test, and only one passes the second, albeit narrowly.

12. I've been a vocal critic of Trump's since the 1980's. Some people went to his wedding and such.

That would not be me. I was on to him even before this:

November 25, 1988: Trump Tower Thanksgiving Action - ACT UP protests a lack of housing for PWA's while city gives tax breaks to wealthy developers. Numerous affinity group actions and arrests are made.

or this
October 31, 1989: Housing Committee passes out candy, condoms and literature about AIDS and homelessness in front of Trump Tower.

Remember Trump's father was the same brand of nasty. It's not news.

that people need to keep being reminded that Donnie T will be a thousand times more horrific than any other candidate for President.

reality show where Trump said, "you're fired!".

And I thought to myself, "Eeew, what a total douchebag".

That is all.
