Day 145:

Nobody Likes Donald Trump:

And for the insane hold-outs who still don’t like him, but think he is politically valuable, they are going to change their mind soon.

Trump is a steaming pile of radioactive political death.  If you are a politician and haven’t figured this out yet…well lets just say you need to stop thinking with your checking account and start thinking with your brain.  Any republican that hitches to Trumps wagon is going to go over the cliff with him.

Enough tortured metaphors, lets just be clear.  The public doesn’t like trump, the media is turning on him, hell even basketball players wont go see him.  His status as turd dropper in chief is well earned.  He ran on hatred, sexism, racism, and bigotry.  He governed on “screw everyone I am going to get mine.”  His policies are only good for the rich (except his insistence global warming is scam, rich people own a lot of coastal real-estate).  He is a hateful person, and is rightly looked down upon by all moral people.  He should resign, publicly apologize for his behavior over the last 70 years, and then exile himself to a tiny island far away from everyone else where he can live out his remaining years alone.
