Crossing the line

-

As election day grows near, I findmyself wondering where is the line President Donald Trump must cross to lose one’s support? Is it the total lack of honesty, integrity, decency, and empathy he has shown all his life and nowas president?

Is it the mocking and name-calling and firing of anyone who disagrees with him? Could it be the cheating on 3 wives and paying prostitute­s to keep quiet? Is the false patriotism he displays at his rally’s then calling our dead, wounded and captured veteran’s suckers and losers? Perhaps it is failure to believe in science andCDCexpe­rts to containCOV­ID-19?

Maybe that line was moved back when he gave the richest 1% a whopping tax break while adding $4 trillion dollars to the deficit? Then there are the endless promises broken on building a wall Americans will not have to pay for? The promises not kept on a better and more affordable health care plan?

Could it be his total disregard of the intelligen­ce department­s on foreign interferen­ce in our elections while embracing Putin? Clearly his support of white nationalis­ts and gas-lighting theBLMmove­ment would cross your line in the sand? Could it be the nepotism of his unqualifie­d children and inept donors hired by this administra­tion?

Surely itwould be the unfounded claims of voter fraud and refusal to leave office if the votes do not go hisway?

Where exactly is that line for Trump supporters?
