(16,903 posts)I am way past weeping, and deep into anger territory that we are all being subjected to this horrific shitshow. May God bless America.

(60,010 posts)Trump has 3 grown kids, and somehow all 3 turned out exactly like him, and Ivanka married a Trump clone.
what are the odds of none of them being turned off by that sicko?
You would think that one at least would have rebelled and blown the whistle.

(578 posts)can do is laugh at Jr. For those who don't know I'm an Indian American who was born in this country but my parents are from India. I remember the first time I went to India was when I was 19 and it was a culture shock. One of the things that stood out to me was how very few people actually smiled in public over there. One of the cultural norms in India is that strangers don't smile in public. Instead of smiling people actually stare at each other without showing any emotion. That shocked me at first up until I figured out it was a cultural norm.

(60,010 posts)Upon reflection, people like Trump do not even see most people. They go from their private jet to their private cars to their private hotel/meetings, etc. without ever having to leave the bubble.
Thank you for that helpful info. and welcome to DU.
