are other corporate executives and 3rd rate celebrities. I'm sure those folks will do well under Trump - as long as they don't piss him off.

why? This racist fascist doesn't like to see brown skinned people in general or just African-Americans specifically, or both? I know which one I think is true. What a piece of work. Germany 1933 redux is upcoming. He'll probably build walls around inner cities also.

bad taste in my mouth - just to refresh my inner gut feeling - my research led me to - yep - Hitler..my my my - go ahead republicans..sell your soul to the devil - I can't believe what I have been hearing from the dumpster - but this, Workers Party - over the top..

Seems many many authors have the same feeling -

We do have support from all corners of our country to push back against dumpster..it is not about self - it is about US!

He's a mean, selfish, narcissist who hasn't a shred of compassion for others. It's all about HIM and his insatiable quest for power. This is an extremely dangerous man and the fact that he's actually the repuke nominee quite simply terrifies me.

PLUS he loves being in the news

I have seen where Trump is going, since he started his quest for the presidency - and been told I am hysterical, and ignorant - even if the similarity between Hitler and Trump is chilling to say it least.. As he have used the same rhetoric, the same script Hitler used to great effect in the 1920s and 1930s - and now seen to be re-integrated into Trump's idea of things....

He is a Fascist pure and simple - and will do terrible damage to the US if elected President... Maybe even be the end of the United States of America as we know it. Far worse than even GWB was able to do to the US when he was in office..... And he will also do terrible damage to the world, if elected, as he is angry, short tempered - and revengeful, and more than willing to use nuclear weapons than every president before him....

The fact that he is a presidential nominee proves what H.L. Mencken said years ago: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."
