He is a buffoon, a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, and the scariest human being to ever be in such a position of power. And my opinion of ANYBODY that supports him, are also all of the above. How can people be so daft? This guy doesn't even seem like he has a grade school education.
He is scarier the Kim Jong-Un in my eyes. All he can do is posture with his 50's era military equipment. Trump has his finger on the button of the most lethal arsenal on the earth. I'm not saying I would condone it, but I also wouldn't be devastated if something were to happen to remove him from power via a tragic amount of force. I truly believe this lunatic is a massive threat to the security of this planet. I believe he would start WW3 just to assert his dominance and pacify his ego.
Hopefully the guy just resigns or has a heart attack. At least Pence isn't mentally ill. This was entertaining at first, the buffoonery, but it's actually getting pretty damn concerning now.
Cannot fathom how anyone can support him one iota. It's baffling.

It is the system has gotten so out of hand because of the fundamental pressures of the first past the post system has devolved Americans to our side vs. their side. The Republicans could nominate Corrupty McCorrupterson as their nominee for President and have a guaranteed 40% of the vote and the Democrats can nominate Grandma Nixon and still can expect at least 40%.
In addition, the media has stratified and consequently solidified the positions of the populace and shockingly the supposedly independent judiciary thought it would be prudent to put a D or a R next to their names. It has gotten to the point where there can only be two possibilities either a civil war or a strongman seizes power and effectively puts politics on hold for decades or more.
The scary part is what Trump is doing may be the better solution of the two end points for the United States and the only way to avoid either end is for the voting public to soundly take back democracy and defeat him and his party by more than 10%.
