Trump does not disappoint me as much as his supporters do

Trump's words and actions are to be expected from an extremely damaged con man like Trump, but to have 60 million Americans of such low moral character that they will support anything this man says or does simply for the promise of racism and greed is not only truly disappointing, but it's embarrassing to call these people Americans.

Whenever he lies or pulls another stupid stunt or finds his own new low, I always find myself returning to one thing:

So what does this say about the people who voted for him? What does that say about them? By NOW? With everything we've seen and heard and been disgusted by, so far? Seriously? And they're STILL with him? Then what does that say about THEM?

We all know he’s a prick, but how can people just accept this stuff? Sometimes I wonder just how much longer it is before decency finally gives way and this whole country just explodes.

And I'm convinced they're becoming a real problem that must be dealt with if we are to get our country back on the right track.

country into hatred, lies and extreme right wing propaganda. Does he do it just for money, or is there more too it. How come he's never investigated. He has singled handily worked hard to destroy decency and intelligency in this country.

them, as their country slips away. And I wondered as a youth how someone like Hitler rose to power. What were the people of Germany thinking.

we Democrats keep hoping the day comes that the "next outrage" will be the one that makes the deplorables turn way from him.

Um.... not going to happen. They LOVE the outrage. They don't even seem to care if what drumpf does hurts them personally as long as it pisses off everyone they LOVE IT. Anarchy is what they voted for.
