Anyone, even racists, sexists can be president

There is a man who made it OK to publicly make racist and sexist remarks. He did not even find it a bit embarrassing or shameful to be supported by the Ku Klux Klan.

There is a man who made it OK to publicly humiliate and call people names, even responding with violence if you did not agree with them.

There is a man who threw tantrums and whined like a little child if things did not go his way. He never took responsibility for his own actions, because everything was everybody else’s fault and he had nothing to do with it.

Donald Trump has proved anyone can become president of the United States. May God bless us all.
