    I don’t understand how anyone in the wright mind could support Baby Trump, he is a narcissist, liar, cheat, conman and a bully, yes we needed a change from the carrier politicians but this is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Trumps rhetoric is dividing the country, he is a racist and his policies have driven long time allies to the brink, the Economic Sanction to promote the US form of democracy is causing a humanitarian crises, how would we like it if the EU decided to do the same to the US. The US world domination policies are also hurting US citizens, think about it.
