Should have been Hillary

In November, 42 percent of women gave Trump their vote. The only thing the other 58 percent of us women would like to give him is a swift kick in his posterior.

I still find it hard to believe these women’s votes would go to a man who views women as sex objects and not competent human beings.

Now he’s siding with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly on his sexual harassment allegations. If the claims against O’Reilly are unfounded, as Trump believes, why did Fox pony up $13 million in hush money?

I sure would feel safer if I knew someone who knows the score was running this country.

More women’s votes could have put Hillary Clinton, who probably knows the world’s problems better than anyone, in power. Because in this day and age, we have mentally unstable dictators with bombs that could destroy humanity. We need smarts!

Many countries have women leading their governments. I wish this country would mature enough to vote for a woman!

Incidentally, I’m wondering why Trump hasn’t given his 11-year-old son a position in our government. He’s put the rest of the family in charge. Who needs experience?
