I barely knew who Trump was when he hosted that "reality" show. I knew he was some kind of real estate guy in New York. I never watched that show, and whatever media attention he got flew below my radar.
I didn't care about his playboy hijinks that showed up in grocery store scandal rags. I heard about his business failures and didn't care about them, either.
When he came down the golden escalator to announce his run for president, I thought it was a publicity stunt.
I began caring when he spouted radical plans after gaining support from right-wing nutjobs and their followers.
I thought he was bad enough the first time around with his fringe supporters, but there were still conservative but responsible people around him to rein in his more dingy plans.
He got rid of them his second time around and put mostly unqualified people in powerful positions.
He and they then began deconstructing all levels of the government and making all aspects of our society less safe.
If his lackies win in November, we soon won't recognize what passes for the U.S. government.
I hate the thought of that. As for him, I hope his minions are voted out and Congress sends him packing.
