11. Deciding to be happily single or happily divorced (or happily partnered) isn't

the same as being a loser. I bet you have better control over your personal life than donald has over his. You might even have better control over your finances.

Donald can't easily go through another divorce while he's prez unless Melania is caught cheating on him, and then he'll get some sympathy. Maybe. Maybe not.

All that being said, yes, the OP doesn't quite feel right and attacks in a generalized way that could apply to almost anyone. Even married people have bad marriages sometimes and feel like losers if their situations constrain options for resolution. I think your point should be taken as an excellent counterpoint.

12. By right wing standards, which he should uphold

that does make him a loser, though they are such hypocrites they supported his thrice-married, adulterous ass. But according to what they say, his marriage should be solid. And never had any problems (as they would consider the Clintons a failed marriage). They apply their standards only to others.

If only those were the issues, I wouldn't be much upset with the current state of affairs.

I'm like CurtEastPoint in this.

What's your beef?

IMO, trump has a very high percent of Neanderthal DNA. Republicans have to stay on his 'good side' or trump will "rip their face off" in an instant. Sunlei 3/2017

13. As a gay woman, for most of my life I was unable to marry.

I'm not his age, but I don't anticipate marriage by the time I am.

What is your point? Married people are the only successful people? What bs.
