If Trump is not the most clearly unfit President in US history, then I'm Barack Obama himself.

Treason: Check.

Bribery: Check.

Profiting off the Presidency: Check.

Abusing the Presidency for political gain: Check.

Not taking care that the laws be faithfully executed: Check.

Violating the Emoluments Clause: Check.

Violating the Oath of Office ( "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”): Check.

Demonstrating utter contempt for any check on or balance to his power/blatantly violating the separation of powers in the federal government: Check.

Using federal funds as a political weapon against “insubordinate” state governments: Check.

Obstructing and corrupting government and criminal investigations into himself and his administration: Check.

Demonstrating his rank incompetence as a decision-maker and almost certainly below-average cognitive function, well below that required for presidential duties: Check.

Demonstrating all kinds of deficits of character that are not just counterproductive in a public servant, but outright dangerous: Check, check, check.

That’s all off the top of my head. SHALL I GO ON?

as long as he avoided the square mustache and the nazi armband.

now i know that this isn't true.

if donnie grew a square mustache and a put on a nazi armband, the entire republican party would happily do the same.


they are incapable of recognizing evil, unless it's a democratic politician. of course, they claim all democratic politicians for evil, which still means they're incapable of recognizing evil.

Going forward the dictionary definition of "to trump" will have to be changed; the verb should be made synonymous with "murder," or some other more horrendous act. Bush was unfit, Trump is evil.
