(6,254 posts)57. Seriously, can you think of a worse person in America to have access to this information. Think of
any Republican in our history and is there a worse one? Benedict Arnold was a fierce General who risked he life in battle before he turned and became a traitor. Trump doesnt have patriotic bone in his body and is full blown sociopathic, malignant narcissist who would sell his family for a buck. A man with not one redeeming quality was put in charge of the most powerful nation and was told he was immune from prosecution. Take the worse Bond Gillian and times him by a million and you have Trump.

Yep. I agree. This is not a surprise at all. It is however, extremely frustrating and maddening!
