(43,198 posts)I generally like people, I like to try to see the good in all people, even flawed ones. But every once in a while I come across someone whose presence and persona is just so obnoxious, so loathsome, so offensive to normal standards of human decency, that I can't stop myself from thinking, "That's just an awful person."
Well, that awful person in this case is Donald Trump.
