He spits on graves: One of the many reasons Donald Trump is incapable of uniting the nation
When civil rights hero John Lewis passed away, it wasnt just fellow Democrats issuing encomiums for a life well-lived. Lewis earned praise from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Mike Pence, who Monday visited the 17-term Georgia congressman as he lay at peace in the Capitol rotunda, the first African-American legislator to do so.
Donald Trump barked, I wont be going. Reason number three in our list of 99 reasons he mustnt be reelected: The one American who must find a way to be a bigger man, our president, is constitutionally incapable of doing so. Unable to give respect, he cannot foster a climate of mutual respect. With a tone from the top of bitterness and bile, America is doomed to spiral ever apart. Young Americans see in the highest office a nasty, swaggering, payback-obsessed bully.
When Sen. John McCain was healthy, Trump said the once-tortured POW wasnt a hero; hed only been captured. When McCain was dying of brain cancer, Trump mocked him. After his funeral, Trump complained that he never got a thank you for arranging it (he didnt arrange it).
At a rally in the home of recently deceased Michigan Rep. John Dingell last year, he said that Dingell might be looking up, a not-so-clever way of saying hed been sent to Hell. Paul Mitchell, a retiring Michigan Republican congressman, said, Were here for a purpose, and its not this petty, childish bull---t.

(964 posts)He's got to sit through speeches that praise the life of others which he can't tolerate. He's so petty that it's not about him, he won't go. Someday, it'll be his turn, but there won't be any praise.
