    That is NOT illegal or corrupt. Just because you don't like billionaires, that doesn't mean they are corrupt.

    It absolutely does. A President is elected by ordinary Americans to serve their best interest, not by billionaires to serve their interest and his own interest or his family. It isn't meant to be a self-serving job. If the President of the US is serving his own interest and the special interest of a few at the expense of ordinary Americans and especially when he campaigned under the promise of serving their interest, then he was running a scam to begin with. It's not about liking or disliking billionaires, it's about the purpose of the office of the President of the US.

    I'm very interested in this, and I believe you are being sincere in your belief. Can you give a specific example of Trump serving his own interests over that of ordinary Americans?

    No. Because where would you draw the line? How mentally ill would be too much? Is Hilary Clinton too mentally ill? Is Elizabeth Warren? In my opinion, they are, but yours??

    There is no evidence of any of this. You just don't like him. I don't really "like him" as a person (from what I know of him, which is actually very little) either, but that has nothing to do with the position of POTUS.

    Some people just automatically consider those who are successful or rich to be corrupt people. While true some of the time, this isn't so in all cases. I'm still waiting to hear what Trump has ever done that was illegal.

    Not only that they is NEVER provide an accurate description of 'successful or rich.' It's whoever is not on welfare is not illegal and does not agree with them I think.

    I already did. But even if I didn't, why do you need to know specifics from me if you've already determined them for yourself and see nothing? I'm not here to convince you of anything and couldn't even if I wanted to try. If you don't already see the obvious you never will.

    If you believe there's no evidence that's ok with me. For me not only is it ridiculously obvious but it was easily predictable. Whether I like him as a person or not is irrelevant, I don't personally know him. Having said that, his actions as a human being are despicable, more so for the fact that he's the President.

    This is what you get when all you care about in a candidate is race/sex/religion.

    This is what Democrats consider an intellectual...

    I think we need to drug test elected officials.
