New York Daily News Front Cover: Trump Takes Nation To Pathetic New Low [View all]



In his 13 months of campaigning, Donald Trump has sullied the making of a President with lies, bullying, ignorance, demagoguery and more.

He generated shock at his willingness to be ever more outrageous, amazement that he had won support, wonder over whether he could ever do something so offensive as to be toxic, and fury at amoral words and actions.

Now, there is only sorrow at the depths to which Trump has plunged U.S. democracy — and taken with him elected leaders who have always before respected country and self.

Trump’s attack on the parents of a Muslim soldier who gave his life to save comrades-in-arms breaks the heart because he has made fair-game of two nation-loving citizen immigrants whose son heroically gave his life for country — and because Republicans have held firm to Trump’s suitability for the presidency.
