At least he wasn't a megalomaniac.

Well, most Donald Trump supporters would take offense upon hearing how you characterize their idol. But since most of them are unlikely to be lurking round these parts, I guess that's okay.


Even some of us who aren't Trump supporters are getting tired of the incessant Trump-bashing.


Some of us Trump unsupporters grew up under actual totalitarian regimes and are extremely sensitive to certain types of behavior at the top of government. Canaries in a coal mine, if you will.


Funnily enough I never assigned "megalomaniac" to a certain name; it appears it was just assumed I was talking about Trump.

That being what it is, seeing it as an outsider to the US, the glove certainly appears to fit. If good people can't stand up to this sort of behaviour, and call it for what it is, I am rather worried.
