Most Americans feel uncertain of Donald Trump’s capacity to fill the role of commander-in-chief. All other important positions in the armed services require extensive background checks and psychological testing. What we know of this man does not inspire confidence. We need to be more careful. What do his tax returns hide? What do his experiences say about him? Has he ever done anything to help anyone but himself? We need to look beyond his words as they have been shown to be lies.

What better way for Russia to humiliate and defeat the United States than to help elect an inexperienced, inept, immoral man as their leader? What fun to sit back and watch the U.S. democracy crumble as the politicians fight among themselves jockeying for power.
