"SNIP......

The most insulting thing Trump does is assume that America is, at its core, just as racist, transactional and cruel as he is.

He demonstrates this when he sends violent tweets, expecting people to agree. He demonstrates this when he does phony photo-ops in front of a church, expecting religious people to celebrate him. He demonstrates this when he expects to win another election.

His assumption is an insult to our national character.

That said, it's an insult because it is partly true. Donald Trump is forcing us to confront all the terrible things America can be. But what we can also do, is choose to be better.

Moreso, the New York State Attorney General in particular.

And he doesn't understand why blocking a request for a DNA sample that would prove his innocence in a rape case makes him look guilty AF...

He's really dumb. Like always been...

Lock him up.

When he had to throw his birthday into his photo op speech He was hoping for the response he’d get at one of his Nazi rallies. I wonder if that was on the teleprompter or just him ad libbing?
