Someone like Trump shouldn't be in the top tier.

I witnessed a man threatening to hit an elderly, disabled person parked in front of the grocery today waiting to pick up his wife who is also disabled and uses a walker. I gave my name to the store manager if the police needed another witness.

He was hitting his window and saying he'd kick his ass, and telling him he was what was wrong with this country. For parking in front of the store waiting for his disabled wife who had the grocery bags strung on her walker as she navigated her way to their mini-van.

Things are getting really weird, in a bad way, out there.
