On Tuesday, GOP mega-donor Sheldon Adelson died. Within hours ...

Donald Trump issued a statement proclaiming that, "The world has lost a great man. He will be missed."

Last Wednesday, Capitol Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by a mob of right-wing thugs who had been summoned to the District of Columbia by Trump, and were then urged to proceed to the Capitol building in order to "show strength" and to "fight".

Four days later, Trump finally got around to putting out an offhand statement ordering the flag which flies atop the Capitol to be lowered to half-mast in Officer Sicknick's honor.

To reiterate ... Donald Trump is not merely the worst President ever to be inflicted on the American people. He is also one of the worst people ever to contaminate public office.

The "man" is scum.

Criminal scum.

.... up the Middle East, primarily Israel. Propping up Netanyahu, moving the capitol to Jerusalem, taking Palestinian lands, then financing the Israeli settlements - were all his brain children.

How anyone who claims to support Israel could act like a Nazi is just mind boggling. Of anyone in the universe, those of Jewish ethnic extraction should know better not to treat others so ugly and disparagingly.

They say power corrupts,... add to it obscene amounts of money,.. now your equation is additionally contaminated with gluttony and greediness.

Life does not get more Fascistic than that.

Humanity needs to hone and burnish their skills towards treating one another more compassionately and respectfully. We are stuck at - might makes right,.. survival belongs to the fittest,.. we need to move beyond the Neanderthal warrior mind set.

they used to say large wealth lasted an average of 3 generations. Unless you're like Trump.
