146. I didn't watch it.

Why was there any reason to listen to his self-aggrandizing proclamations, exaggerations, fantasies, and outright lies? Trump has always been the same. A bad seed who bullied others since early childhood, a cruel man who relishes belittling and mocking others to hide his insecurities and inadequacies. I can't find one redeeming quality in the morally bankrupt lowlife.
