when Trump said ' people are trying to destroy our history and our heritage', I think about Trump's family history and heritage, from his grandfather ( the pimp/tax evader) being thrown out of Bavaria despite pleas to the government to let him stay, to Trump's father,
who marched with the KKK, who also was taken to court for severe discrimination against black people, that is the Trump heritage, it is not ours.

me to no end, because my maternal grandfather's family emigrated from the kingdom of Bavaria (and hearing about Trump, my first thought was please God, don't let me be related), but here's the backstory on this...he was deported from Bavaria for not fulfilling military duty & not unregistering from his hometown. Reading this, I sort see where the mental pathology in this family started. Also the irony of getting out of military duty...

it's just a TV Show.
Do you suppose his daughter -- at the very least -- is just a little bit embarrassed by her father? After all, who wants other folks to think one's Dad is either stupid or just demented, or perhaps both.....

Barring some organic illness that could be diagnosed/treated, his behavior at every step is emblematic simply of a spoiled child who was never told no. In his case, it was the family money that insulated him from consequences, and whatever financial success he has enjoyed has further taught him that this is exactly the way we want him to act.

He's right. Enough voters in enough states wanted this circus, so they made us inaugurate a clown. He didn't get where he is today by moderating his speech or actions--he's done little of either--but by the excesses we've trained him to display.
