Dump Trump

Donald Trump embarrasses me. He’s a rude, offensive bully who seems to relish his megalomania-like tendencies to rule the world. The Apprentice showed him at his best: ridiculing other people simply because he could; humiliating people viciously just because he could; and running roughshod over others because that seems to be his primary management style. He doesn’t seem to have a kind word for other people, but he expects others to show him top-notch courtesy because … he’s The Donald.

I don’t like Trump representing me as an American. It scares me to think that there are far too many Americans taking him seriously as a presidential candidate. I don’t want the rest of the world to think that we’re all like Trump and then fear that he could become our President. Imagine what other world leaders must be thinking … .

UPDATE: Donald totally shows his true self with the recent comments he made about a female politician. He asked who would vote for her the way she looks, then backed off and tried to amend his statement by claiming he meant her persona. First, his amendment makes it clear that he has no idea what a persona is, but secondly, it's bad enough that Donald says the things that he says, but when he's called to account for his vicious personal attacks, he should own them -- not try to weasel out by saying he was misunderstood.

Those of us who are listening to him know exactly what he meant and are offended by his lack of candor in not owning his words.
