Diane Kroeze: Trump acts like a TV character, but his lines aren’t funny

Donald Trump is like a reality star who acts like the cameras are off. He ignores his script. What? People all thought it/he was real! What’s with a script? Why should he need it? Then he yells, makes fun of the disabled, belittles Sen. John McCain, shows his bigotry and categorizes women as lesser beings. He says Mexicans are criminals, berates a judge for doing his job while blaming his hispanic background. Worse, he encourages hate against certain religions.

Then Trump makes nice with Vladimir Putin (while insisting the RNC change its platform on the Ukraine to the advantage of Russia). Could Trump’s campaign manager have anything to do with that last part and how Trump thinks about Russia? Never mind that Putin is a dictator.

I wouldn’t want to leave out the Khan family, whose son was killed and awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Trump belittled their religion and ignored their sacrifice and his death. The big economic policies he wants to put in place will mean rich people pay less than they pay now – and that isn’t much. He’ll start nuclear war when he gets mad at them or us.
