Profile in cowardice: Donald Trump will take no responsibility for the wave of hate crimes he has inspired
Any correlation between Trump's rhetoric and the hate crime in Kansas is "absurd," White House says. Really?

Republicans and other conservatives love to claim that they are the country’s greatest defenders of the Constitution. In reality, they hold many of its most sacred values in contempt. For example, it is abundantly clear that Donald Trump and the Republican Party have no use for the 14th Amendment and its declaration that:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. [Emphasis added.]

If Donald Trump and the Republican Party actually believed in the Constitution, they would ensure that gays, lesbians and transgender people would be able to marry and use public facilities without fear of violence or harassment.

If Donald Trump and the Republican Party actually believed in the Constitution, they would want to stop police abuse and thuggery against African-Americans, Latinos, First Nations people and other vulnerable populations.

If Donald Trump and the Republican Party actually believed in the Constitution, they would not single out Muslims for profiling, travel bans and other violations of their human rights and dignity.

If Donald Trump and the Republican Party actually believed in the Constitution, they would not seek to deny women the right to make their own reproductive and other health choices.

If Donald Trump and the Republican Party actually believed in the Constitution, they would not threaten entire communities of people with mass deportation and arrest.

As the number of hate crimes increase and Trump’s human deplorables spill more blood in the street, Trump will inevitably trot out his mouthpiece Sean Spicer who will lie on command and tell the American people that there’s nothing to see here. This is not a profile in presidential courage but a study in cowardice, bigotry and racism. This is the president the American people now have. Unfortunately, it is the president many of us deserve.

2. The KKK (Bannon) is setting this tone

And tRump is the useful idiot.

3. He won't take any responsibility for the botched raid in Yemen that

resulted in the death of Navy Seal Ryan Owens. In a Fox interview he totally blamed the generals. "They wanted to do this.....they came to me....they lost him." So despicable, such a craven coward.

4. His followers/sheepeles think unisex bathrooms

are for the 'preverts'. Despite the fact they have been around for decades.

Is he the most deplorable Prez yet?
