I actually wanted to do that years ago. I saw this coming as a “for certain” in 2015. I’m older, on SS and have 3 little pugs that I cannot leave. Own my home here so as much as I wanted a peaceful retirement I guess I’ll be fighting for my grandsons future as long as I live.

I’m angry at every person that voted for him. But I believe he was placed there. Our votes may have never mattered.

Thank you for caring about us!

On June 16, 2015, when Trump announced his candidacy, he came down the golden escalator with Melania. At that time, I knew nothing about the man except for the ad he took out in the NYT about the (innocent) Central Park Five. But I found myself suddenly jumping up from my chair and shouting, "It's Hitler!!" And unfortunately, I was right.

I've known who he is since the 80's: a vile, awful, narcissistic POS. I seriously did not think he had a chance in 2016. Boy was I wrong.

I've known this since he was my landlord in early 70s.

OMG! That must have sucked so hard! Both he and his father were so famously terrible that Woodie Guthrie even wrote a song called "Old Man Trump".

Wow. I didn't know abt the song. Well, end of el Trumpo story. He sued me when I left (for obviously untrue things--like unpaid rent for which I had receipts.) I had moved out of state, so he had local lawyer deliver suit notice. I wrote up my own defense--biology teacher here--and went to court. He nor lawyer showed. I won.

He was a notorious ass hole in NJ. I was raised on the Jersey shore. When he built those tacky casinos, he ripped off my ,friends who worked for him.contractors who built the places . And was a sue happy SOB. Put my uncle out of business denying him payment . So yeah. He needs to pay for his BS

I live in SC, so he was completely off the map down here. I was completely disgusted when I read about an article about his horrific full-page ad in the NYT. But that's the only thing I knew about him. Like you, I was STUNNED (and cried for 3 days, couldn't go anywhere) when he one. He was stunned, too. He'd only done it for the publicity.

My reaction was similar. I thought to myself “the AntiChrist descending.”

I surely have a grumble. In the last 25 years I’ve lost two, and now have one with severe scoliosis, one diabetic (2 shots a day) and my boy is a handsome wild boy. Looks like a pug, acts like a Jack Russell!!

I have the same fears that Trump won by criminal actions.
