TRUMP: Not now, or ever

Why would any thinking person vote for Donald Trump? Trump for president of the United States? Trump, whose only pursuit in life has been attention, money and trophies?

I keep thinking this is a bad joke or a nightmare and can’t believe there are so many gullible, unthinking lemmings in this country of ours who can conceive Trump as president of the most powerful nation on this planet. REALLY?

Why would anyone vote for a self-serving egotistical billionaire and think he understands the problems of average Americans? Why would anyone vote for a trophy-hunting (three trophy wives, worldwide trophy properties), attention whore, shallow (“The Apprentice;” Miss America contest host) adulterer with no sense of tact or diplomacy; an unapologetic narcissist who thinks he’s God (“I’ll never let you down”). REALLY?

Trump is such a coward he refuses to release his tax returns. Doesn’t that say a lot about him? He, who for years kept the “Birther” lies about Obama alive and demanded proof? Well, we DEMAND his tax returns NOW! What’s he hiding? Show America proof of the way he’s done business. His investment tentacles reach around the world. How could he be fair when making decisions that affect his investments in foreign countries? For a close-up look at the business operations of this bully, Google the ghost writer of the book “The Art of the Deal” if you want the firsthand truth about how Trump operates.

In good conscience, could we REALLY do this to our children, grandchildren and future generations? Do we really want Trump’s finger on the button? He’s not just a danger to America, but to our planet.
