  • Honest people hang out with other honest people.
  • Kind people hang out with other kind people.
  • Liars and cheats hang out with other liars and cheats.
  • Drinkers hang out with other drinkers.
  • Druggies hang out with other druggies.
  • Thieves hang out with other thieves.

The person you choose to represent you, the managers you hire to run your business, the people you choose to associate with, all reflect the kind of person you are, your character, your morals, your values, and what things in life are most important to you.

  • The character of the person you elect to lead your country is your character
  • The decency of the person you elect to lead your country is your decency
  • The integrity of the person you elect to lead your country is your integrity
  • The ethics of the person you elect to lead your country are your ethics
  • The trustworthiness of the person you elect to lead your country is your trustworthiness
  • The honesty of the person you elect to lead your country is your honesty

The character, decency, honesty, integrity, ethics, and trustworthiness of those who made Donald Trump President are the character, decency, honesty, integrity, ethics and trustworthiness of Donald Trump himself.

He is you.

We, and the rest of the world, now know the character, decency, honesty, integrity, ethics, and trustworthiness of the majority of the American people.

You can deny it all you want, but Trump is you and you are him. You should be ashamed, but you’re not, yet, but by then it will be too late.
