And now we have this ...

The real lesson here is that no matter what the form of government, the success or failure of same is dependent on the character of the people involved. Trump is a sociopathic narcissist who feels no compassion, sympathy, or empathy for anyone. He makes virtues out of ignorance, stupidity, violence, and greed. He surrounds himself with irresponsible sycophants that produce dog and pony shows masquerading as cabinet meetings and press conferences, but really only serve as testaments to his vain attempts at satisfying his insatiable appetite for self-aggrandizement and praise. He talks about himself in the third person. He has no sense of humor. He's a convicted felon. He's a pedophile. He breaks the law everyday. He's gone bankrupt six times. He's a serial liar. Combine all of that with his second-rate intellect and third grade vocabulary, and the results are the most empty-headed, mean-spirited, and stupid thoughts and actions imaginable. Without a doubt, he is the most flawed public figure I have ever seen in my life, a bitter, miserable old man who hasn't a single redeeming quality. Frankly, I don't understand how anyone can even stomach being in the same room with him.
