Trump's "moral authority" is as real as Sheriff Arpaio's respect for human rights.
Empty as a gas tank on E, big fat zero, no such thing.
The media's call for Trump to calm the nation using his "moral authority" is....whatever word you can think of that makes "enigma" sound insignificant. How can Trump exhibit moral authority if he has no morals? He has one guiding principle containing two letters....ME. And don't forget the exclamation point.
Trump talked about "grabbing pussy", he mocked a disabled reporter, he said soldiers that were captured by our enemies weren't heroes. Trump demeaned a Gold Star family, said a certain judge couldn't be fair because he was Mexican. He lies almost every time he opens his mouth, bullies people every chance he gets. Trump even jokes about sex with his daughter.
As far as I'm concerned, media can cut the Trump/moral authority bullshit right now, no matter the subject, the day, the circumstances. Trump isn't even a cup half full. He's empty of anything meaningful.
And he needs to be run out on a rail, just like the one in his tweet today which showed a train plowing into a CNN reporter, a person just seeking the truth....like Heather Heyer.
