The thing about Trump

Here’s the thing about Trump and his followers. If an individual supports Trump because of his policies (and I admit some may be supportable), then how many have been effective? How many have not been destructive? How many have been acted on with intelligent awareness of their consequences?

That’s the political side of things. But Trump’s failings as a human being are as clear as can be. He flaunts them. Persistent lies, demeaning comments, low class public speeches, name-calling, arrogance, shady behavior, sexual inappropriateness, and more.

Many tolerate him and some even admire him and behave like him. But the worst sign to me is that most Republicans consistently support him. It’s hard for me believe that over and over again these Congressmen can put ideology and party above decency, honesty and humanity.


In effect, someone who follows a man like Trump is in danger of diminishing his own humanity.
