Donald Trump is many things. He is without morals, a sexual predator, an egomaniac, uneducated, mentally incompetent, and without an iota of class.

As a young man growing up in Los Angeles, I was taught many lessons about how to become a good, honest, and respectful man. Among the many lessons my mother and grandparents taught me was how to act in someone else’s home.

If invited to cocktails, dinner, or for any other reason, never come “empty handed.” A bottle of wine, or a bouquet of flowers was always appreciated. When in another person’s home, be careful what you say. Never insult your host or hostess. Never say unkind things about their home or furnishings. And leave any form of rudeness outside.

Trump was not raised properly. His arrogance, hate, lack of simple manners, and rudeness are unacceptable for any man or woman and unforgivable when that man claims the title of President of the United States.

Today Trump is in England. He was invited by the Queen and the Prime Minister. On Monday he is being served a meal in Buckingham Palace, the home of Queen Elizabeth II. He did not bring wine or flowers, he brought insults and personal attacks. He has proven that he is a very unsavory guest.

Before he arrived in England, Trump insulted Prince Harry’s wife, Meagan Markle. He continues to attack the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, calling him a “stone cold loser.” He has never met the man, but the fact that he is a Muslim is enough for unwarranted criticism. As for Ms. Markle, her father is Caucasian, and her mother African American. Let’s never forget that Trump is the leader of the white supremacist movement in America.

During Trump’s last visit, more than 250,000 Englishmen protested Trump; mostly for his unwelcome beliefs. Once again, the “Trump baby balloon” will rise over the streets of London.

Trump is living in the past. His bigotry and racism are at the core of his support for white supremacy, Islamophobia, Homophobia, Misogyny, and anti-Semitism. It is no surprise that he is a man filled with hatred for all non-whites and non-Christians. Only ignorant men and women harbor unwarranted prejudices, and Trump has proven that he is the most ignorant of them all.

Prime Minister, Teresa May, is stepping down. Trump displayed extreme rudeness when he spoke in support of extreme right-wing candidates. Meddling in another country’s politics is an unforgivable sin. Trump gladly accepted interference by Vladimir Putin in 2016, and will again in 2020.

Everyday I become more ashamed that Trump has been allowed to remain our nation’s illegitimate president. This amoral and trashy man does not deserve my respect or my loyalty.

The 2016 election was stolen by Trump with the aid of his handler, Vladimir Putin. Impeachment should have happened within his first six months on a golf course; refusing to learn the job for which he was elected.

Tell everyone; “The Truth Lives Here.”
