A friend chastised me for being so hard on #45. He said I should at least give him credit for the many firsts that he's accomplished. So in order to rectify my error of omission, here is a partial list of some of those firsts

First tiny handed candidate to brag about the size of his p***s during a debate.
First to bring up a woman's menstrual cycle during a debate.
First to call a rivals wife a dog.
First to mouthe an "F" Bomb in a televised campaign speech
First to use the word "bull***" right after a prayer breakfast
First to trash a Vietnam Veteran for being captured & tortured in Vietnam
First to spit in the face of a Gold Star Family.
First to steal from a charity that benefitted veterans and children with cancer
First president to be endorsed by the KKK (George Wallace was a candidate)
First to make McDonalds change the over 1 billion served sign
First to say Putin was right and our FBI & CIA were wrong.
First to feel so strongly about the sanctity of marriage that he was sanctified 3 times.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*

Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

Trump’s comments have sadly lead the first official death as a clergyman in Oregon dies after his wife injected him with disinfectant.

A police spokesman stated they had attended a domestos incident and recorded the death as a bleach of the priest.

As a taxpayer, I am not too thrilled about paying taxes to bail out big corporations and the very rich, as described in this article. [:(!] What were they thinking?
