This morning I ran across a very interesting article listing facts about, thoughts of, and lies by about the Fuhrer of the Republican Rectumite Reich, Rump Dump Trump.  Never has there been a candidate who personified the Republican Party so well, but I don’t understand how the author limited the list to fifteen.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0831trump-shrug\"As Election Day approaches, it is important that every American know some basic facts about Donald Trump, to try to understand what his campaign means to us all. Sadly, you won\u2019t get a lot of that from the mainstream media, which doesn\u2019t want to kill the golden ratings horse.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about Trump\u2019s upbringing and his education, or even his marriages, but about the claims he has made. There are all kinds of things said about \u201ctalk\u201d \u2013 that talk is cheap for example, or that the less said the better. Shakespeare said, in Henry V, \u201cMen of few words are the best men.\u201d <\/p>\n

I would quibble by arguing that what is said is far more important than how much.<\/p>\n

Here then are my thoughts about not only Trumps words and deeds, but their context, the essentials that define the man:<\/p>\n

1. Think about this: If Donald Trump had a lie detector with an alarm on him that went off every time he lied, he\u2019d never get through a speech; possibly not even a sentence, without being interrupted. At this point, sadly, that is precisely what is needed in order to highlight the rapidity with which Trump tells untruths<\/a>. Like his lies about inner city crime, or immigrants, or Muslims. You pick the topic…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
