Tremendous! You describe a demagogue, showman, gaslighter, egomaniac, self-obsessed 'person'. In their film, "Unfit", Duty to Warn describes him as 'psychologically, morally, intellectually & emotionally unfit for the highest elected office in the land.' He is a master of deflection: often used by narcissists to blame others for what goes wrong, to take focus off own behavior. Thanks for starting my day w much needed truth AND humor in a serious situation.

There have been a small number of traitors famous in history. Uppermost is, of course, Judas, betrayer of Jesus -for money. Brutus betrayed Caesar fearing he would be made king. Quisling betrayed Norway as a Nazi collaborator, his name becoming synonymous with traitor. Benedict Arnold who belittled others, was loved, however, by his soldier followers, lived in a grand house,betrayed America for money. trump is America's modern Arnold, adorns his life with gold, collaborates with America's enemies, ridicules those who disagree with him, has fanatic followers who idolize him no matter his indiscretions and with secretive stolen information, would no doubt sell out this country for money. You have well enumerated all his blameless, not my fault creations . How an apparently dumb man who cannot speak in sentences, never reads, knows not the Constitution, lies in every sentence can attract millions of followers who believe in him, are willing to put their lives on the line for him, is unfathomable. As is said, the threat of liberty comes not from without but within. America would be best served if he would soon join his first wife on the first hole of the golf course. Sorry it is in New Jersey. I love New Jersey.
