3. The "U.S.A." sign off insults me...

I love this country, but I HATE that fucking chant for what it has devolved into...

I remember the Lake Placid Olympics and the Miracle on Ice that popularized the chants of "U!S!A!" during that tourney and especially during the 4-3 game against the USSR and the Gold Medal game against Finland. It is a treasure memory/emotion/feeling for me and it has been violently usurped over the years by the knuckle-dragging, "liburl-hatin'", Neo-confederate assholes that chanted it ad nauseum during Trump's campaign. I especially LOVE to see that chant in crowds carrying the United States flag AND the fucking Confederate Battle Flag....real deep thinking crews.

The fact that he is using that as part of an incredibly irresponsible tweet is incomprehensible. This is the REAL THING little Donnie...you are NOT pretending to be President goddamn it...even though 3+ million more people voted against you...you ARE the President. Start fucking acting like it or choke to death or have a debilitating stroke or heart attack and become incapacitated. Either way, this is behavior more suited to an ill-adjusted 7th grader than a 70+ year old man.

Mike Pence is an ideological nightmare and completely horrible in his own right, but I fear nuclear exchanges with North Korea with Trump in power...
