I try very hard to be a positive person, and find the best in everyone. I do not always succeed, but I continue to make the effort. I tried to find something good about the FOX Noise entertainers, and discovered that every once in a while Bill O’Reilly tells a smidgen of truth. That made me feel better. It was hard to find the good in George W. Bush until I realized he was not very bright, and many of his disastrous mistakes were because of the influence of the devil’s brother, Dick Cheney. (I couldn’t find one thing which was good about Cheney, but I tried.) When Sarah Palin became the great embarrassment of the United States, I realize that she was an Alaskan redneck, and had no idea about what she was saying. Inbreeding was the likely cause. After I studied Glenn Beck’s history, I realized that he was desperate for attention, and money was his only god; he was a sad excuse for a human being, and I forgave him for his depravity, likely the result of neglectful parenting.

The one person I have never been able to find even a tiny bit of good, other than Cheney, is Donald Trump. For more than a year, I have been trying to describe the man in a single word, although many despicable terms are applicable. Finally, a word I never hear in the United States was recently used by a British politician which sums up the leader of the Republican Party; repugnant: “Causing a feeling of strong dislike or disgust.” And there it is.

Trump has no redeemable attributes, no qualities which are defendable, a severe lack of morality, and a void of intellect which is the root cause for his unredeemable persona.

The fact that he hates America for its principles and belief in human rights and equality is deplorable, but the fact that he actually sees himself as a demagogue removes any possibility of understanding and forgiveness. He is the poster boy for what is wrong with America and why we are not, and never will be, a great nation.

I’m not blaming Trump alone for this fact, he would not be the Republican Party’s standard bearer if his supporters did not believe in the same things as their fascist leader.

I find nothing to like about Trump. He has nothing which I can even consider to be normal and offers no actions and words which I can find forgivable. His tactics of fear and hatred are offensive and offer proof that he has nothing to offer to the American people or the human race.

He is unqualified to become the leader of the free world in many ways, but none no more deplorable than the fact that he hates the Constitution. If asked, he would tell you that he knows more than our forefathers, and that they were mistaken when they wrote the Bill of Rights.

Trump is a white supremacist with a bad ‘rug.’ His rhetoric is destructive, and poses a danger to our nation and the world.

“Repugnant” is a perfect word to describe this egomaniac. I just wish that the media would be honest and denounce him for what he is, and what he isn’t.
