Remember during one of the debates, Hillary was asked to say something nice about him? She finally came up with the answer, "his children." Even that is a huge stretch, but I guess she had to say something!

It took sometime for his ego centrism to kick in and for him to realize the complement was not directed at him.

No one has ever seen him laugh.

He is physically appalling.
He's a germ o'phobe .
He has no empathy for anyone.
He doesn't seem to be able to really read or write
Or think.
He is super vengeful.
He was awful to his children.
He stiffed everyone who did work for him including the caterer at his wedding to Marla Maples-for god'S sake.


This is someone
I would normally stay 10 miles away from.

Will Make Trump look mild.

Just like Trump makes W look mild, and W made Bush Sr look better, and so.

It seems that we are doomed, in that no matter what Republican is in office, he is always worst than the last one.

including myself. This does not mean he is healthy, but he managed a campaign schedule most people couldn't handle.

However, I thought a Presidential physical was required, and not by his own charlatan of a doctor. We shall then know.

Look at Hillary, look at John Kerry. They're our age too. trump looks like shit. He gained weight during the campaign, aged too. He's up in the middle of the night, probably to pee, but also tweeting. He doesn't look better than most 70 year olds I know. I refuse to believe he looks better than anyone named Treasonous Bastard. get on that treadmill, bro. Take care of yourself. We need you.

the doctors at Walter Reed would find him to be a Russian automaton.

And a crude one at that-- the Germans would make one that worked, the Japanese would make a polite one, the Brits would make one that could speak in multi-syllables, and the French would make one that eats real food. The Chinese would probably make a cheap one.

But, this is the best the Russians could do.

He is a test to see who people really are - those who gravitate towards him will forever be tainted and known for who they really are. He is a essentially magnet which pulls together the useless metal shavings and shows the world who they are.

Doesn't have one redeemable thing about them. I tried also and could think of nothing.

He treated his builders bad, people on apprentice bad, his wives bad, he wants his own daughter sexually....even his rallies were about him feeling good.
