unqualified for the job, didn't expect to win the election and did not have a plan on how to proceed if he did win. It was nothing but a publicity stunt for him, but his ego would not allow him to drop out of the race, which he could have done up until the convention. He has made a mockery of the process by soliciting and accepting help from Russia, Wikileaks and who knows what other entities.

He continues to push the US into a downward spiral that will take years, if not decades, to repair. He has alienated our allies while he embraced our adversaries. He has made appointed the worst possible candidates to high level government position. He has used the office to advance his personal and business interests.

The fact that he still has a segment of the population that thinks he's doing a good job is absolutely frightening to me.
