13. Imagine Trump raising money for charities of his choice as part of his re-election campaign.

Like gun-rights groups and anti-abortion groups, and, yes, meals on wheels thrown in the mix. They are all affected by the health crisis, and they are not exactly well off financially. Oh, and most of them are working people, who just happen to be Trump's political base.

I am fine with raising money for charities. I am fine with raising money for a presidential campaign (well, sort of). But I am not fine with mixing the two together. Smacks of cheating, somehow.

I guess we have different ideas of what's disgusting...

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
