2. Please trash him Trump! I don't know anything about the guy, but Trump calling him

a horrible person, says bad things about me or whatever, should be entertaining.

Doolittle also referenced Trump's mimicking of a New York Times reporter's disability on the campaign trail.


'I have a brother-in-law who has autism, and is a guy that mocked a disabled reporter. How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves his hands? I can't get past that stuff.

'I want people to know that I put thought into this and, at the end of the day, I just can´t go,' Doolittle told the Post.

5. Wish more people in the public eye would denounce 45 as a liar, bigot and thief.

Among other things.
