Trump: “don’t let the Radical Left play you for weak fools and losers!” I'm always wary of people who overuse exclamation points, which normally happens when the writer lacks calm, intelligent arguments of their own. The idea of he/she who yells the loudest is right is juvenile.

I also judge people on how they treat others in person. For some reason an event has stayed with me. A few years ago, at the G-8 meeting, Trump lumbered into the room late. A man who was in a discussion with others did not see him coming as his back was turned to the President. Most people would simply say "excuse me" and continue on his way. But Trump physically grabbed the man by his shoulders and moved him out of the way without uttering a word. His attempt at proving that he was the most important man in the room showed the world that he was the smallest. I know it was a small thing, but his lack of courtesy and decorum demonstrated that he has no regard for others, neither on a personal nor global level.

It's a given that Trump does not study the issues at hand and his lack of introspection goes without saying. We know that he suffers from some type of narcissism disorder, which subjugates doing what is right for how he looks to the world. We must accept that he is mentally ill, which is a great danger to the country and the world.

Just a quick note on the House Select Committee. With its army of investigators, the truth WILL come out.

"One of the hallmarks of a personality like that of former president Donald Trump is that he cannot stop escalating. It’s not that he won’t stop; it’s that he can’t stop.

And he will escalate until someone finally draws a line and holds it."

Yes, it is indeed quite puzzling that a man that stood in front of television cameras and told thousands of people, some of them armed with deadly weapons, to head to the capital to overthrow the duly elected government transition, has not been arrested for sedition and treason.

If Trump or anyone had pulled that stunt in 1795, I think it highly likely that person would have rapidly faced the consequences of those times.

Tolerance for sedition and treason seems quite high now. I don't understand why, honestly.

Maybe the Justice Department is just moving slow? But, there has not even been an announcement of possible charges of sedition and treason pending investigation.

It is almost like Trump has some magical fairy that can keep him out of jail no matter how many laws he breaks in his life, how many people he grifts and shortchanges, which, have been many.
