5. His speech impediment is not the issue

The biggest issue is his lies, and the simple message that has a scary feeling of George Orwell's "1984" method of communication.

I strongly suggest everyone read this article, and please pass it around, this is real:

Also, Paul Krugman's warning should be taken very seriously:

"I've been mostly writing and tweeting about economics, simply because others are covering things like the Mueller investigation very well and I know something about econ. But the tax bill, awful as it is, isn't what keeps me up at night 1/
What's obvious, looking both at Trump and Trumpist media, is that they are terrified. They know or strongly suspect that revelations of massive corruption and collusion are just around the corner. What we already know would have led to impeachment proceedings if Trump were D 2/
And the fact that they're terrified should have us terrified. These are people with authoritarian instincts, no respect for democratic norms, facing personal ruin, disgrace and quite possibly jail time. They will lash out -- and it will be a moment of truth for America 3/"
~~ Paul Krugman
