So you had me in your first paragraph. I certainly don't purport that hes a FOOL, or an idiot... I think that WE were idiots for allowing such an individual in that office, but we wanted change. At any cost, it seems...

Lots of folks like to sing about how wonderful Obama was - and while he was a really cool gent and was a likeable President.. he lied to ME, like the rest of them do. His health coverage wasn't ANYTHING to me. At all. Zero. It did NOT help the small business owners get health care for cheaper than prior. And for some of us, it was even harder to under his plan - at any rate, more than half of the country was so ready for change... and it was pent up because no one wanted to wreck the first black President... that we went to the polls and voted in a hustler.

Trump is not an idiot. He's not UNINTELLIGENT - but I think that any amount of intelligence that he does have is dwarfed by his ability to lie, cheat and steal in broad daylight - without breaking any 'laws'... rules... aside from those that a moral and ethical human [i.e. a POTUS] should [be required to] have.

He's a hustler, salesmen, scam artist and gangster. In our White House.

Listen.. I wanted the same change that got him there. But I've learned an expensive lesson, and hope that the country has too. Biden certainly isn't my first choice [Why the hell can't these parties do BETTER!?], but at least there won't be a snake in the house.
