More on Trump

A few points I forgot, that I had intended to include in my earlier post (my memory not being what it once was).

Yes, I was disgusted by Trump's apparently mocking a disabled reporter who criticized him.  And while much of what he said about securing our border was spun out of all context, I believe he made some generalizations that border on bigotry, and I don't condone bigotry.  (For the record, nor do I believe all Muslims mean us harm - but I absolutely know that our government can't distinguish between those who do and those who don't.)

I'm also reminded of Hillary Clinton calling anyone who DARED not vote for her "deplorable."  And I recall the candidate Barack Obama calling anyone in Pennsylvania who DARED not vote for him basically a redneck "clinging to their God and their guns."

Folks, bigotry is bigotry, and it's not bound by skin color or faith tradition.  Don't you think for a minute that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton aren't bigoted against what they see as the unenlightened, unwashed masses.  And they obviously lash out against those who don't support them, just as Donald Trump does.  They just do it with a tad more civility - a tad, mind you.

But that mask of civility is transparent, exposing the ugly face of bigotry behind it.

I was also appalled at Trump's remarks about Megyn Kelly, and no, I'm not for a second fooled by his claim that he didn't mean what we all know he meant.  As for his comments about women and his past exploits, while I have disdain for them, I've heard similar things from many men throughout my life.

As for the women who came out of the woodwork in the weeks before the election, I don't believe them for a minute.  Their sudden emergence at the 11th hour is suspect, something the left turns a blind eye toward, while they blame Hillary's loss on the 11th-hour comments by James Comey.  And today, where are those women?  They seem to have disappeared.  Gennifer Flowers didn't disappear after accusing Bill Clinton of rape.  But these women have vanished - probably to a nice beach after cashing their Clinton Foundation check.

Finally, there have been philanderers in the White House before.  Remember Bill Clinton?  To the left, "it was just a bj."  However, he committed an act unbecoming of the office.  Moreover, he committed what for most managers would be the most grievous of offenses.

When I was a CEO, I had a severance agreement and a deferred compensation plan.  I could be fired for running the firm into the ground, and those commitments would still have had to be honored.  However, my contract had a moral turpitude clause.  If I'd committed some sleazy act that tarnished the company's image, I'd have not only been fired, I'd have lost my severance and deferred comp.

Bill Clinton was guilty of sexual harassment.  Monica Lewinsky was a government employee, and as the Chief Executive of America, Inc., Clinton was her ultimate boss.  He abused his power and had sexual relations with her in the Oval Office.  If I'd diddled my secretary on my desk, I'd have violated my moral turpitude clause.  Case closed.

And JFK turned the White House into a whorehouse.  His presidency is viewed by the left as some Camelot fantasy - and he was a good President - but cavorting with starlets lined up by your Hollywood relative, refusing to stop the sexual activity even when the First Lady's plane had landed, only ushering them out of the White House when her Secret Service escort radioed that her motorcade was within minutes of the building, is again conduct unbecoming the office.

So while I'm bothered by a lot of things about Trump, we've seen the same - or worse - from previous occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

And the indignant left gives them a pass.
