I don't even like it when people refer to Trump as inhuman. He's inhumane. He's an asshole, a narcissist, a racist, a misogynist, a criminal, a cruel man, a truly broken miserable profoundly flawed individual. I won't shed a tear over his obituary. But I still get chills when I see him referred to in dehumanizing terms. We have to be better than that.
