I know Trump and worked with him in business relationships over the course of 30 years. He is a stupid, venal, lying, cheating, rapacious, seditious, traitorous dirtbag who will spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
How in the world is this deranged clown the leading Republican candidate for president?
Never Trump.
