How hard is it for a President of the United States to call for

an end of hate and violence in this Country instead of embracing hate?
How hard is it for a Vice President to not blame the opposition party for violence in the United States and just be a decent person and call for calm and compassion?
And how hard is it for the press to call out violent rhetoric by the President and Vice President?

Rhetorical I know but my god this Country and its people are swimming in raw sewage and then acting shocked when the sewage strikes them down with disease.

He was a bully from a very young age and got worse and worse the older he got . . . His parents couldn’t handle him so they sent him to a military academy where he carried on the same way . . . he has a history of dropping out - he was in ROTC during his first year of college but dropped out in his second year. He dropped football after 3 or 4 weeks, and his racquet sports apparently were mediocre at best. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/trump-the-bully-how-childhood-military-school-shaped-the-future-president/ "Trump would emerge from military school with a blueprint for leadership by force and ridicule.”
