Well thank you for your, mostly civil, response Margaret.
It's interesting that you think Trump is a con-artist and a snake. I'm not sure what that would say about the American people, given that he was just re-elected.
Let's assume, purely hypothetically, that you are correct. I am not sure how that would make him any different from most …

Let's assume, purely hypothetically, that you are correct. I am not sure how that would make him any different from most of his predecessors.
Perhaps it's just a matter of degree. You may think he's more of a con-artist and a snake than, e.g., Obama and GW Bush, whereas, insofar as I really loathe them, I may think he's less.
Anyway, thank you again. I respect your opinion and your right to express it and admire your courage in doing so.
It's good that there are people like you here commenting because the dissenting voices like yours ensure that this stack is not just an echo chamber.
everyone can speak here as long as no threats of violence and hatred...I think 1st amendment is to protect speech we dont agree with our like...if I understood it correctly
Thank you for taking this position. Yes, I agree 100%. The words oI Evelyn Beatrice Hall, often misattributed to Voltaire, from her book "The Friends of Voltaire" written to illustrate the beliefs of Voltaire about the principle of the freedom of speech come to mind:
"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
It's interesting to know about this misattribution. This is the first I've heard of Evelyn Beatrice Hall. In websearching her, I came across the following quote:
"The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."
In many cases, it's an accurate observation -- although doubts can be a springboard to greater knowledge, so less a problem than an advantage.

That's a very good point Kathleen.
