Trump can't be taken seriously

Posted July 03, 2015 1:00 am

The word of the day is egomaniac.

An egomaniac is a person with an obsessive preoccupation with oneself and is someone who follows their own ungoverned impulses, is possessed by delusions of personal greatness, and feels a lack of appreciation. Doesn't this describe Donald Trump perfectly?

NBC, Univision, and Macy's have started a movement to distance themselves from this joke of a candidate. The Republican Party would do itself a huge favor by disassociating themselves with him also.

Mr. Trump, who cannot manage to run businesses successfully (How many times has he declared corporate bankruptcy? Four) wants to run the most powerful country in the world?

There have been other presidential candidates in the past that frightened me, but Mr. Trump makes me laugh AND scares me.

It frightens me to think that anyone is taking him seriously; I'm sure foreign leaders wouldn't.
