When is the last time we learned something truly "new" about Trump?

I'm not talking about specific outrageous things he said or did, but about the quality of his character.

We know that he is a liar, racist, misogynist, religious bigot, hypocrite and a criminal. We know that he is arrogant, selfish, ignorant, vulgar, rude and mean. But, haven 't we known all this since he descended that escalator or shortly thereafter? My answer to that is "YES" and, in all honesty, I just do not believe those who are now playing the "we didn't realize" card.

I believe that not only did they know who and what Trump was, that is why they voted for him! "He's a mean sumbitch gonna get rid of them Jews an' Messicans an' put the blacks back in their place! Then we'll all be great again!"

But, now it has finally sunk in that the guy they elected to "shake things up" is TEARING things up and even they cannot see how this ends well. Yet, many will vote for him again if he makes it to November, 2020.

"When people tell you who they are, believe them the first time".
