ESPYs Jimmy V. Award recipient versus Loser Trump

If you saw the Jimmy V. award for perseverance on last night's ESPYs, you saw a truly inspirational young man. Rob Mendez was born without limbs. They showed clips of his life including one as a very young boy in which he's just rolling around on the floor smiling, enjoying life. During his speech he thanked his mother saying, "I know you never wanted me to feel left out of anything. So if there was a way for me to participate, you always found a way."

He went to football practice and the coach asked him of he wanted a jersey. So he saw that maybe he could participate in football as a coach. In one instance, he was let go as an offensive coordinator which really depressed him. But her persevered and became a head coach of a nearby school. He ended his speech shouting, "Who says I can't? NOBODY!"

Contrast this to Trump and how he's treating the people in his concentration camps. The mothers are just finding a way for their children to live. He told them that America is full and we don't have room for them. We all know this is a lie of a selfish man. We know that there is a way for people fleeing famine to find a place in our society. There is no question, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the world. Trump is looking to take us back to a terrible time, selfishly lying instead of moving America and humanity forward. Trump, they're always telling you, you can't, not because it's not possible, but because it is either harmful or wrong.
