Donald Trump is a horrible human being, and the crisis of Hurricane Harvey proves that he has no ability to demonstrate compassion, empathy, sympathy, sincerity, or decency, but rather only self serving glorification.
He visited Corpus Christi and raves about the size of the crowd, not seemingly realizing they are not there to see him, but are simply victims of a horrible natural disaster which has torn from them all their earthly belongings, and in some cases, the lives of their loved ones.
He does not talk about the victims, including the police officer who was swept away, and the family of six with a similar fate.
He does not embrace anyone and spend time commiserating with them, something Barack Obama did after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, the Charleston Church Massacre in 2015, the Sandy Hook Massacre in 2012, and so many other tragedies.
He does not put his arms around people and give a passionate speech as Bill Clinton did after the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995.
He does not unite us as Ronald Reagan did after the Challenger Astronaut disaster in 1986.
The man is seriously mentally ill, and his inability to be the Uniter In Chief after a great tragedy disqualifies him to be President of “all of the people”.
Trump may be the President of the “deplorables” who only care about themselves, about money, and about hating everyone not like them.
But this man is a disgrace to the human race, and his wife wearing inappropriate footwear to a flood zone and the best clothing possible so she would look good for her husband, is a reminder of the King of France, Louis XVI, before the French Revolution, and the reported utterance about the masses: “Let them eat cake!”
There are no redeeming qualities about Donald Trump, and he will go down for sure as the most despicable and disgraceful President ever, a national nightmare foisted on us by the outdated Electoral College, and the selfishness and narrow mindedness of 78,000 people in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Sadly, it will take a long time to undo the damage Donald Trump has wrought in just over seven months, but the push to remove Trump by impeachment, or use of the 25th Amendment, Section 4, or resignation must move forward full scale, as every day he is in the Oval Office, he undermines the nation and the international community!
Trump wants to rob disaster relief in order to build his wall and terrorize brown people.

News breaking tonight on Ari Melber’s show, The Beat: An aide to Putin confirmed that Trump did have business dealings in Moscow.
Southern Liberal – I’m watching Steve Kornacki, who is filling in for Chris Matthews. He hasn’t mentioned anything about that. Must not be confirmed.
Now I’m watching, Chris Hayes. He’s seconding Ari’s report about the Kremlin-Trump business deal with them during the campaign. His guests are saying that Mueller following the money is the right path.
Fascinating focus group of Trump voters in Pennsylvania. All expressed concern about him being unfit, crazy, outrageous, etc.

Trump’s electoral threat against Sen. Claire McCaskill raises legal questions.

Those Trump voters should have listened to progressives, such as Lawrence O’Donnell, who were, and still are, warning that Trump is a con man and is dangerous.
One of those Trump voters said that Trump shares his values. I’d hate to know what values those are. Only values I’ve seen Trump express is discrimination and bigotry.
I found it rather disgusting that he made a speech about cutting taxes for the rich yesterday while Houston drowns.

It seems increasingly clear that Paul Manafort has the goods on Trump/Russia.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/manafort-notes-russian-meet-contain-cryptic-reference-donations-n797816
Paul Manafort’s notes from a controversial Trump Tower meeting with Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign included the word “donations,†near a reference to the Republican National Committee, two sources briefed on the evidence told NBC News.
The references, which have not been previously disclosed, elevated the significance of the June 2016 meeting for congressional investigators, who are focused on determining whether it included any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party.
It is illegal for foreigners to donate to American elections. The meeting happened just as Trump had secured the Republican nomination for president, and he was considered a longshot to win. Manafort was the campaign chairman at the time.
Manafort’s notes, typed on a smart phone and described by one briefed source as cryptic, were turned over to the House and Senate intelligence committees and to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. They contained the words “donations,†and “RNC†in close proximity, the sources said.
