No Good Citizen.

       What s it with Trump? Everything is going his way. The economy, pretty much anything a president could ask for. So why is it that he's likely to loose the House to the Democrats? What is it that keeps him the most disliked president since Nixon? On the one hand he's thin-skinned but on the other hand he seems to take delight in doing things that make his detractors show him as a low life.
       For one thing, I think its his show of dislike for women. He has no respect for women, of course he seems to have little respect for anyone outside his family. He lies incessantly, even when he has no good reason to lie, even when he has no reason at all. He even lies about his lies. He uses hateful name calling even against friends.
       But its the disrespect for anything or anyone that will be his downfall. He ignores our most basic principles, our Constitution, our laws our reputation as a leading nation. Fairness, a staple of our country is of no use to him. He uses his position for personal gain. No law has any meaning to him unless he can use it to his purposes.
       Normally we Americans see these traits as despicable, and anyone demonstrating them as outside the norms of our citizenship. Honesty and integrity have always been the hallmark of our democracy, but to Trump, they are trash to be swept away. Charity and goodness are against his instincts, to be used and abused, not enjoyed. He claims to Make America Great Again, but he destroys that which has always made America great.
