Donald Trump is a disgrace
Donald Trump won the presidential election but he didn’t wash off the stain of his character. He’s not my president and he never will be.
As a young man, he had a chance to fight for his country but he chose a military deferment. When he had a chance to rent one of his vacant apartments to a qualified black woman, he chose to ignore her rental application and later, he rented that same apartment to a white person.
He cheated on his wife or should I say “wives.” He scammed students who enrolled in his Trump University. He called some women “pigs,” “ugly,” “fat” and he even suggested that one woman was not attractive enough to sexually assault.
He shamed a Gold Star family, who lost their beloved son in Afghanistan. He shamed a military hero for being captured. He even said he knows more about military strategy than our generals.
This man is a disgrace.
So how did Trump become president? He became president by selling us empty rhetoric of “Making America great again.” Oh, and he threw in the promise of wiping out ISIS with a secret strategy.
Many Americans believed him. The majority did not and neither do I. Trump is an empty suit who only wears racism, bigotry, xenophobia and a Chinese tie for adornment.
