Mentally deficient, egomaniac, malignant narcissist, immoral, white nationalist, unfit: there are many other terms to describe this illegitimate president. A mentally stable man who claims to be the president of 330 million people would never attack his critics personally, but #45 is not a man and not mentally stable.

Trump has proven time and time again that he is incapable of using coherent sentences to communicate. He cannot defend himself when he is criticized because he is always guilty. Trump has committed crimes throughout his pitiful life. Beginning with his father, someone has always bailed him out including the Saudi Royal Family. Today Moscow Mitch McConnell is protecting him. Moscow Mitch chose to violate the Constitution in February when he refused to give Trump a fair trial in the senate. After he was impeached, the Constitution requires a legitimate trial. Moscow Mitch created a sham. Unlike what occurs in a court of law, the “old man in the senate” refused to allow witnesses or new evidence. The truth is that Moscow Mitch should resign or be forced from office.

Let’s be brutally honest. Trump did not win the Republican nomination in 2016 by discussing the issues. He won by belittling his opponents with personal attacks, and it worked although he was the least qualified candidate in America’s political history. There was “low energy Jeb,” “little Marco,” “lyin Ted,” and other nicknames intended to demean his adversaries. He also attacked Cruz’ wife and father, calling Heidi Cruz “ugly,” and accusing his father of involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy.

The truth is that the same issues facing our nation on January 20, 2017 exist today. Immigration, education, the opioid crisis, income inequality, racism, and domestic terrorism remain serious problems which Trump has refused to address. He’s far too busy golfing, holding hate rallies, watching television, and tweeting attacks against his critics to work for the American people.
