We are here. It is real. It is sad. It is ugly. I hoped we could somehow avoid it, but the moment is upon us. Today is one of the dumbest days in American history.

This is not me being petty or partisan. I’ve seen many people I wasn’t thrilled about win elections. I disagreed with them on positions and policies — sometimes I didn’t like their personalities — but today is altogether different. Our nation elected a terrible human being as President of the United States.

In any textbook definition of what the American public should look for in a President, Donald Trump falls outrageously short. That’s an understatement actually. He is the exact opposite of who and what we all know a President should be.

He is quick tempered. He is thin-skinned. He is perpetually dishonest.

Donald Trump prepares to be sworn in as President of the United States

He lacks the education and experience to understand many of the most complicated issues of national security and international diplomacy. He consistently embarasses himself and endangers the nation when speaking with international news outlets about virtually any matter related to war, peace, weapons, treaties, accords, or coalitions.

For a year, most of his 17 Republican opponents openly said that electing him would be dangerous. They said that allowing him access to the nuclear codes would be a grave mistake.

His first wife said that he was cruel and demeaning throughout their marriage and that he raped her, an accusation she then renouced. After a recording of Trump was released in which he openly bragged about how he physically forces himself on women, nearly twenty women came forward and said that he did that very thing to them.

Just days before the inauguration, he agreed to pay out a $25 million settlement to students who said they were defrauded by Trump University.

He openly takes credit for job deals that were finalized weeks or even months before he was elected. This is his way. His is a con man.

He has conned evangelical Christians into thinking that he deeply values the faith when he just recently said he has never asked for forgiveness.

He has conned the anti-abortion crowd into believing he is pro-life.
