Here’s what I don’t understand. Donald Trump has relentlessly maligned his own appointees in business and in his administration. He has relentlessly maligned political contenders in his own party and other parties. A guy who has never served his country (claimed bone spurs)—nor have his children—maligns those who have served in the military. He continues to malign government institutions. His comments about women are crude, rude, racist, and misogynistic. So, given all that, why is anyone still loyal to Donald Trump?
Trump claims that, “If they’re coming after me, they are coming after you.” Folks, Trump is not your friend. “They” aren’t coming after you. He is coming after you. Why? Because he has come after virtually everybody else. Below are just a few cases in point.
Jeff Sessions, his attorney general. Trump said his appointment was “one of the worst mistakes I ever made. He’s an idiot.”
John Bolton, his national security advisor. Trump said, “If I had listened to him, we would be in World War 6.” (What?)
Michael Cohen, lawyer for the Trump organization. Trump said, “If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen. He’s a weak person, not a very smart person, a fraudster.”
Steve Bannon, Chief Strategist, White House. Trump later called him “Sloppy Steve.”
Omarosa, former Apprentice contestant and later a Trump campaign director. Trump called her “not very smart,” a “lowlife.”
Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State. Trump described him as “a moron,” “dumb as a rock,” and “lazy as hell.”
General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump called him a “traitor who deserves the death penalty.”
Nikki Haley, UN Ambassador. Trump called her a “birdbrain” and later sent her campaign a birdcage and bird feed. Haley’s campaign manager called his actions, “weird, creepy, and desperate.”
These people are Trump’s political appointees. He chose them. Please help me understand why any sane person would agree to serve in his administration should he be reelected.
Here are a few comments that Trump has made about those who have served our country. Trump called those who served in the military and died “suckers.” He did not want to be seen in the presence of amputees because it didn’t make him look good. He refused to visit the graves of soldiers in France. He called them “losers.” Please help me understand why any veteran or any parent of a child who served in the military would vote for this man.
Here are just a few nicknames Trump has for his adversaries: Crooked Hillary, Little Rocket Man, Little Marco, Low-energy Jeb, Pocahontas, Crazy Maxine Waters, Sleepy Creepy Joe, Little Adam Schiff, Shifty Schiff, Wild Bill Clinton, Cheatin’ Obama, Lyin’ Ted, Alfred E. Neuman, Nervous Nancy, Mr. Magoo, Slime Ball James Comey, Ron DeSanctimonious, Meatball Ron, Letitia Peekaboo James, Deranged Jack Smith, Psycho Joe.
Here is just a sampling of the institutions that Trump has maligned: the FBI, Department of Justice, Department of Education, CIA, US Courts, the Military, and NATO.
Here are a few derogatory comments Trump has made about women: slobs, pigs, dogs, fat, ugly, and horseface.
Here is how Trump describes himself: “Great looking,” “smart,” “a true stable genius.”
My case rests.
Maria Grant was principal-in-charge of the Federal Human Capital practice of an international consulting firm. While on the Eastern Shore, she focuses on writing, reading, gardening, piano, kayaking and nature.

This should be taught in every school in every classroom in the USA!!
While President Trump is infamous for some of the barbs he has leveled at people, those around him in France stated they never heard him make the statement about servicemen who died. You are reaching with this accusation.
See recent confirmation by his former Chief of Staff.
His comments are members of the armed forces are documented and even recorded, pull your head out of the sand and face reality, the guy is soulless.
I do believe Trump is very much a moral and mental psychopath
If elected again he will ruin and destroy this country and try to destroy our democracy to become a dictator for life. He will jail, torture and kill anyone who opposes him in this mad power grab
There will be violent civil war in which we will be fighting for our lives and true democracy
If he and his followers gain full power there will be full and organized genocides of liberal Jews, democrats and of course gays
Blacks and Hispanics might lose their citizenship and their lives
We must stop this nightmare from ever being born as a fascist threat to us , our children and our democracy and civilization. He must never be allowed power again
I agree 100%..who is a right mind would vote for this POS!
Trump is an abused person that was abused as a child. He will never get over it. He has no feelings for anyone or anything. Can’t be trusted with our country again.needs mental help right away. He needs to be declared insane and kept from anything that has anything to do with politics. He says Biden is too old and crazy. I feel safe with him in office and the choices he makes with our country. Scared me when I seen him in a gun store with a gun in his hands smiling. Something needs to be done and very soon. Do we want to go through the same ordeal with him when he looses again. It will be worse this time. He had the capital attacked then I don’t care how many Republicans don’t want to believe it. Some said he was responsible for it then said he wasn’t. I think those that changed their minds was in on it. Things need to be checked out farther if you know what I mean.
I agree with you 100 percent!
I think he is a narcissist and instead, lived a life of privilege and excessive praise, giving him the belief that he’s special, the greatest, the smartest, the best looking, etc., etc. He elevates himself by putting others down. I agree that he was probably abused as a child at one point by someone, but he definitely lived in the lap of luxury and privilege, not wanting for anything. He was probably not given limits as a child and was probably pretty annoying too, just as he is now.
Well put. I agree 100%.
His followers think he cares about them. What a joke.
Thank you.
Wonderful, wonderful summation of little donnie and his viewpoint of people. No one matters but himself, his cult followers haven’t figured that out yet, but they’re not very smart.
Trump 2024, because your democratic party and your president have screwed up our country so bad it’s almost unbelievable. Let’s hope we don’t go to war before next election
I would have been more concerned about his admiration of our adversaries. Given his regard for Putin and wanting to have a Trump Tower Moscow, I wouldn’t have been surprised if he handed Alaska back to Russia.
This is a why he was supposed to fivest himself from his business assets!! He refused, trading his $400K/yr salary for them with the commitment to donate it to charity insteaf. So, instead of his $400K salary he made millions every time he hosted national and international meetings at his hotels and resorts and we got to pay for it all AND donate the $400K, that comes out of our taxes, to charity. It wasn’t refunded to us.
Really? What has Biden done other than lower unemployment? other than not cater to the religious right, anti-vaxxer morons and gun nuts? How have you personally been harmed?
I’ll make it easy for you: give me a stupid reason you don’t like him.
I know just what M. Grant is talking about! Trump is bad news for our country.The people whom is following Trump is losted people whom need someone to hold on to or some thing to justifies their wrong feeling about others.
Unfortunately, none of this surprises me, especially by a narcissist.
He is the prime example of why we need to insist on psych evals for all candidates for president. It would have picked up on any pathological personality disorders that would make him a clear and present danger. I can think of at least two.
In 2015 I said trump was installed he was unfit to be a dog catcher
Trump cares on like Hitler trump wants to be a dictator he has a cult family like Jim Jones
His people refuse to admit how lost They really are They refuse to admit trump is a coward and loser.who has never succeeded in anything.
Maybe he’s ahead in the polls b/c of the people who take them are committed to him ,(MAGA)& are making every effort to hog the polls.
Maybe the rational & sane ones who aren’t in his corner just stay away from the polls.
And psychologically, abused people tend to have a loyalty to their abusers. They’re confused & hurt & mistreated, but want more of it.”poisoning of the people” is what he’s doing. Mind control. Sick stuff.
How do people justify supporting this terrible thing.
All this is so true it needs to go viral
