Abominable vulgarian

-

I believe to the majority of Americans, Donald Trump’s shortcomin­gs were glaringly obvious from the beginning. That this abominable vulgarian literally insulted, bullied and lied his way into the presidency by flaming the fires of division and promising the impossible is an American tragedy.

Surely there’s a pathology that describes his condition. Seriously, is there a doctor in the house? Let’s recall how he promised to act “so presidenti­al” if elected that we’d all fall asleep with boredom. Yet it seems he continues to act less presidenti­al than anyone in the history of the office.

When will he tire of the ridicule he heaps upon himself? It has got to be wearing on his thinnest of skins.

Surely this emotional adolescent will wake up one morning and get it. You act like a clown and people will call you out with a zeal befitting. Respect him as the president? He should try respecting the office! Until he starts behaving like a president, he’ll be continuall­y brutalized in public discourse. And bit by bit he will lose credibilit­y, even with those who voted for him, excepting of course the David Dukes and Dylann Roofs of the world. He’ll be their man to the bitter end. PAUL JEROME
