Former President Donald Trump is a bully. Plain and simple, just a bully. I had firsthand experience with a bully in grade school. I thought if I made him my boyfriend he would no longer bully me. I couldn’t watch him bully others.

This is what we are watching now. The people who back him are afraid he will bully them, so they have fallen in line to do his bidding. Every bully needs toadies to do his bidding. There is so much at stake; if elected, he will become one of the dictators he admires so much.

The mere thought he has dementia is also frightening. Yet all his cronies don’t care. They are supporting someone who is losing his faculties. I have friends, good friends, who support him wholeheartedly. Why, I ask? They say look at what he has done? What, he has tried to move us back generations, and wants to be king.

Look to your hearts, and don’t let this bully continue. Stand up and fight. Bullies run the other way when challenged to a fair fight. Vote for someone who has spent his adult life trying to make America as safe, along with the world. Stand up and support someone who will do his best to make a platform for us all to be heard.
