Waking up to Trump

How was it possible for Donald Trump to become America’s president? He beat out 17 intelligent, articulate, experienced, well-qualified candidates of reasonably good moral character. Mr. Trump presented himself honestly as his true unadulterated, misinformed self. He did not deceive us by reading from a teleprompter. His crude words, demeaning comments and deliberate distractions, then and now, truly come from his heart.

Today he is still the same person of dubious character with an approval rating that is finally sinking. Why has it taken so long for so many of us to finally see that Donald is a con artist, one who played us and now is being played, daily and hopefully not yet by Putin. There will be more elections in the future so, wake up America! Read their lips! Forget the talking heads and media who have their own agenda. Study them out.

Would you hire or even befriend them? Read those lips!
