Egad!
Trump insults our nation. Almost every time he tweets or opens his mouth.
A list of the insults, aimed at individuals and groups, would be far to long to repeat here. But the accumulated impact is a massive insult to the nation.
One seeking the presidency of the United States should, above all else, be serious. By words and actions, the candidate must demonstrate he/she understands the enormity of the position they seek.
Clearly, Trump does not.
With the verbal eloquence of a recalcitrant child, demeanor of either a bully or horrible Las Vegas lounge comic, and social media persona of an immature teenager, he has most assuredly made a mockery of the office.
Histrionic to the extreme, his utterances, tweets, and boasts demonstrate absolute unsuitability for the presidency. One example makes the point.
Stipulating that the DNC unquestionably chose to have Mr. Khan speak as a provocateur, Trump's scurrilous response was unacceptable.
A response was not in fact required.
If compelled to respond, Trump could have simply said, "Like all Americans, I honor all Gold Star families." But he did not. He chose to insult the Khans multiple times.
Again, a extremely long list of other examples could fill volumes.
Bottom line: Mr. Trump insults the nation and its people and is unworthy of their votes.
Footnote: To be completely clear on the matter, Ms. Clinton is equally unworthy of our votes.
