10. Don't think there was ever a question . . .

Feb 2018

at how deeply President Obama was affected by Sandy Hook, how moved and later how angry when he spoke to the issue of the Congress's failure on the question of gun control. I'd read that Obama himself said that day was one of the hardest days of his presidency. But he handled the day and aftermath with dignity and grace and love.

What a difference to the Trumpster giving a thumbs up at the hospital, and then blaming the FBI for negligence.

The Donald was illegitimate from Day 1.
