The ex-president got a top aide to send the texts accusing the donorā€™s massive Preserve America PAC of being run by RINOs. But aides fear he is being manipulated.

    True, he would and has sold people to advance his whole agenda. This is just embarrassing to watch, as a human, watching other humans be this way.

      Yeah, thatā€™s fair, I just think humans are an embarrassment overall. We think of ourselves as superior, but here we are subjugating our fellow humans out of a disinterest in real solutions.

      Thereā€™s nothing setting us apart from animals in that sense, we just have the ability to rationalize and justify the horrible things we do.

      Trump probably thinks he has to act that way because he believes ruling with an iron fist is key to success from watching his dad do it and prosper, not understanding that his dad had better business sense than he does.

        I agree with you on humans being an embarrassment. Empathy is a major part of what separates us from most animals. You can not like someone and still have empathy. He deserves everything coming to him by how he has treated others, I do not feel comfortable taking joy in the demise of any human.
