  1. Trump has been encouraging violence since he was on the campaign trail in 2016. There is proof of him giving a full throated green light for his cult followers to engage in violent acts. MARCH 2016: " Part of the problem is no one wants to hurt anyone anymore."  Trump said this during a rally in St. Louis as protesters were being escorted out by security.  Trump became frustrated that it was taking so long to escort the protesters out. He then said " You know, part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore." FEBRUARY 2016: " Knock the krap out of him. would you?  I promise you,  I will pay your legal fees." Trump said this at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This is the same man that used brute force against peaceful protesting American citizens, just so he could stage a 5 minute photo-op. He treats Putin like he's a fellow comrade, and citizen, and he treats our troops, and the American people, like we're the enemy. Let that sink in for a moment... Has anyone ever heard of a president behaving in such a manner? Has anyone ever heard of a president inciting Americans to engage in violence against other Americans? Let's face it, America today, is leaderless. In fact, America has been leaderless since Trump was sworn into office. President Obama was America's last president. What we have now, is a mentally impaired Russian asset, masquerading as president. And he's obsessed with only two things: lining his pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars, and staying out of prison. In Trump’s second book, Surviving at the Top (released as Trump’s empire was crumbling under massive debt in 1990), he described his temperament in ways that wouldn’t seem to bode well for America. “I get bored too easily,” he wrote. “My attention span is short and probably my least favorite thing to do is to maintain the status quo. Instead of being content when everything is going fine, I start getting impatient and irritable.” This is Trump openly admitting to being an agent of chaos and destruction. Placing an extreme narcissistic sociopath like Trump into any position of leadership, where his actions will have a direct affect on people's lives, constitutes a criminal act. Nothing good has ever resulted from anything that Trump has ever touched or been involved with. He is void of any and all goodwill or human decency. He is a purely toxic, insidious and malevolent being, who constitutes a malignant affliction on this country. The economic fate and national security of America should have never been placed in the hands of a mentally impaired, and emotionally unstable demagogue, who will take a wrecking ball to anything, simply because he was bored

  2. Recent books by Timothy Snyder, Masha Gessen, and Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig have traced Trump’s growing pattern of lies and lawlessness. Yes, nearly all presidents have occasionally engaged in hyperbole, lying, corner-cutting, or press-bashing, though none have done so daily, if not hourly. One lie does not undermine democracy, but 20,000+ lies can; one governmental reversal in court is not tyranny, but scores of such defeats reveal an administration at odds with the constitutional injunction to “faithfully executive the laws.” If we added up the anti-democracy maneuvers of the prior 10 presidents over the past 60 years, they wouldn’t equal Trump alone in under four years—indeed, if you compare the eight close associates of Trump convicted or indicted in his almost-one term of office, that would again exceed those of all presidents combined (excepting Watergate felons) from Kennedy to Obama. In May of 2018, When China's President Xi Jinping, who is the leader of the COMMUNIST PARTY of China, changed the country’s constitution to allow him to stay in power indefinitely, Trump praised him for it. Just let that sink in for a moment. In remarks at Mar-a-Lago, Trump praised the Chinese president’s power grab and said he wouldn’t mind trying it himself. Trump: “He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great,” Trump said. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday.” June 15 2018 Trump praises Kim Jung Un, the dictator who continues to threaten America with nuclear war, for his authoritarian control over his people. Trump: "He's the head of the country," Trump said of Kim during a Fox interview. "And I mean he's the strong head. Don't let anyone think anything different." "He speaks and his people sit up at attention,"  Trump added. "I want my people to do the same." Sept 30 2018: At a rally, Trump confesses to the love he has for Kim Jung Un, the most brutal dictator in modern history. Trump: "I like him, he likes me. I guess that’s okay. Am I allowed to say that?” Trump said. “And then we fell in love, okay. No really. He wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.” These are the inexplicable and indefensible words of a sitting US President. And no amount of lies, spin, or deflections will ever justify them, or erase them.
