Donald Trump is in Orlando to announce the kickoff of his re-election campaign.
Were here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who were not endorsing: Donald Trump.
Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent.
Because theres no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump.
After 2½ years weve seen enough.
Enough of the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self-aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies.
So many lies from white lies to whoppers told out of ignorance, laziness, recklessness, expediency or opportunity.
Trumps capacity for lying isnt the surprise here, though the frequency is.
Its the tolerance so many Americans have for it.
