Donald Trump is an Impostor

Donald Trump is an impostor. Donald Trump is a fake.

At one time, I admitted that I might be wrong about Donald Trump, and that it was possible that he was nothing more than a braying jackass.

As his presidential term lurched forward, I changed my mind, and thought of him as little more than a bawling infant.

I've changed my mind again. Just like Frank Abagnale in the story Catch Me If You Can, Donald Trump is nothing more than an impostor. A total fake.

Donald Trump has demonstrated, repeatedly, that he doesn't have what it takes to be president of the United States. He has no leadership ability. He has no morals. He has no empathy. He has no courage. He has no integrity. In place of depth, he has shallowness, an appalling superficiality. In place of knowledge and wisdom, he has willful ignorance and selfishness.

He has no talent. Okay, let me amend that: he has whatever talent it takes to be a unscrupulous, unprincipled real estate tycoon.

And all along, every time he opens his mouth — or Tweets — all I can think is "Jeez, what an idiot". The "idiot" theme spreads over all of my other opinions of him, like gravy covering everything on the plate at Thanksgiving.

The 30-something percent of Americans whom he is still fooling? He doesn't care about them. They don't realize the utter contempt in which he holds them.

It still astounds me that he made it into the White House. I didn't vote for him.

Insert picture here: If I could, I would post a picture here of protestors at an airport, waving huge signs saying "GO HOME TRUMP", "TRUMP IS A FAKE" and "GOOD RIDDANCE", as Trump's private jet lifts off in the background, carrying him back to ... well, to anywhere. Away from Washington D.C.

Update, 4 Sep 2017: Actually, Donald Trump is a mean old man, and nothing more.
