Trump rountinely lies about everything under the sun, every day, and in public, to the press. His behavior in the Charlottesville episode was horrendous. Any normal President would have stepped in immediately and condemmed the neo-Nazis and KKK members. Not Trump. In another instance he tweets a computer image of himself punching a news person in the head, a news person that is wearing a CNN logo. He tries to silence the press because they are reporting the truth of what he does and says. He has enacted policies that discriminate against gays and people of other religions. He attacked the muslim American father of a fallen soldier. He fat shamed a Miss Universe contestant. He routinely has called women fat pigs and pussies. For years he lied and kept saying President Obama wasn't born in this country. He has absolutely no moral compass. Its frightening to have a man like that with his hands on the nuclear codes. Who knows what happens if he has a fit of pique. Will he authorize a nuclear attack on Afghanistand or Korea? And will he tell the American people the truth, or lie about it, like he lies about everything else.

One of the jobs of the President is to lead, and to be a President for everyone. Not just the white men on the right who voted for him, but the American Jews and Muslims, the members of the LGBT community, the African Americans and people of color, and the women. The President is supposed to be a force for good. He is supposed to show that he cares about and will promote the equality and safey of all. That is moral leadership, and that is something Trump, as opposed to the Presidents of the past, has failed miserably at.
