Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office \u201cbegging\u201d for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What you see here is another demonstration from the president of the United States of his utter tone deafness.<\/p>\n

It is a tweet from Donald John Trump Sr.<\/p>\n

It also shows many millions of Americans — including yours truly — how totally unfit he is for the office he occupies.<\/p>\n

He says Sen. Gillibrand “would do anything for them,” implying that she would do something of a sexual nature to obtain a campaign contribution from Trump.<\/p>\n

This man has shown at every level imaginable an absolute lack of decency. An editorial in USA Today provides a profound and stark commentary on the president’s shameful demeanor. What I find remarkable about this editorial is that comes from a publication that does not possess a fiery, partisan editorial policy.<\/p>\n

USA Today calls Trump “uniquely awful” and declares that he is not fit to “clean the toilets at Barack Obama’s presidential library or shine George W. Bush’s shoes.”<\/p>\n

As the paper notes: “Not to mention\u00a0calling white supremacists ‘very fine people,’ pardoning a lawless sheriff, firing a respected FBI director, and\u00a0pushing the Justice Department to investigate his political foes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Read the editorial here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Yet, despite this serial demonstration of a lack of humanity and common decency, Trump’s supporters stand by their man. They applaud him for “telling it like it is.” They endorse his nativism and tribalism and call it “populism.”<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is unfit to be president.<\/p>\n

As USA Today’s editorial concludes:\u00a0The nation doesn\u2019t seek nor expect perfect presidents, and some have certainly been deeply flawed. But a president who shows such disrespect for the truth, for ethics, for the basic duties of the job and for decency toward others fails at the very essence of what has always made America great.<\/em><\/p>\n

He should resign from the presidency.<\/p>\n\n
