That’s because Trump doesn’t care about LITERALLY and I do mean literally, anything- or anyone- but himself.

Trumps sole reason for existence is exclusively to benefit himself and himself only. This is the grossest embodiment of American culture, Puritan individualism.

If it came down to it, Trump would throw every single member of his own family off a cliff it it meant saving his own ass.

He is the epitome of what a disgusting human being is. This should’ve been obvious actually 4 years ago, but at this point if you can’t see it, it might be you that’s the problem.

So true.

Which is why any self-respecting Republican shouldn't mind getting rid of him, even if it means voting for the other party this time around. He is the worst thing to happen to their party.

According to that page, this endorsment of "Not Donald Trump" was The New England Journal of Medicine's first-ever endorsement in a presidential race in its 208-year history:

Quote:
In 2000, Wendy McCaw purchased the Santa Barbara News-Press, one of California's oldest newspapers, from The New York Times for $100 million.[1]

In 2006, McCaw was accused of interfering with the newsroom editorial judgment at the News-Press.[2] Five editors and a columnist resigned over the controversy. A number of other publishers and editors have resigned since she purchased the paper in 2000 over differences with McCaw.[1]

In December 2006, McCaw sued Chapman University professor Susan Paterno over her article in the American Journalism Review that had criticized her management of the paper.[3]

As of 2016, staff at the newspaper had dropped from 200, from when she purchased the newspaper, to 20.[1] In 2016, the Santa Barbara News-Press endorsed Donald Trump for president, making it then one of only six newspapers in the country to do so.[1] According to biographer Tyler Sam, there was no question McCaw was "behind the endorsement.“

Reading the Biden/Sanders manifesto (no, this is not a mistake, Biden has taken Sander’s mandates as his own), we realize how much trouble our nation and we as individuals, would be in when such draconian totalitarian policies were enacted, as they surely would be.

President Trump is a man who respects law and order, unlike the Democratic governors and mayors who persist in allowing rampant looting, anarchy and lawlessness in their states and towns, and unlike the Democratic candidates who continue to want to defund, or “reallocate the money for” the police — and who not only accept the violence and mayhem in these states and cities but are using these crises as blackmail — saying all will stop after they are elected.

Basically it boils down to freedom and opportunity versus dictatorship and socialism — the government in every area of our lives versus the constitutional freedoms we now enjoy.

What happened to the man? He might've been full of himself then too but at least he was coherent and capable of acknowledging that certain left wing ideals held value.

Somebody cut out part of his brain following the Apprentice I think.

Also someone needs to jump on these Taliban endorsements and use it against him.

Vote for Trump, vote for Taliban.

Even the republican southerners would hate it.
