Trump is a sissy

Sun., Jan. 31, 2016

Donald Trump’s failure to face Megyn Kelly tells me that, at heart, he is a sissy. And like President Obama, when sissies gain power, they become bullies. Both use ridicule, threats and divisiveness to maintain or gain power. In Obama’s case, he also uses blatant lies to manipulate Americans.

In a sense, Trump is doing the same by refusing to adequately address his various leftist progressive positions on issues and failing to identify his true ideology. However, if it comes down to choosing a leftist secular socialist or him, I’ll vote for him.
