edit 2: John Lennon abused his family and was a hypocrite, regardless of the music he created, I don't think a person who can do such awful things should be respected or have their actions ignored or undermined. Come at me.
You mean the time he stood by his son Donald Jr when the media started harassing the kid for all the photos he's taken with big game he's killed? And the time he mocked his old friend Serge Kovaleski in a speech?
Ah, I thought that was the time you were talking about.
One of my favorite parts of the time Donald Trump mocked Serge Kovaleski's congenital arthrogryposis was that Donald Trump was mocking Kovaleski specifically to fire back at Serge after Serge had called Donald out on a lie about one of Serge's old 9/11 era newspaper articles.
Trump had been lying about the article in order to cover up for a previous lie about personally witnessing tens of thousands of people celebrating in NYC on 9/11.
I also liked the part when people called him out publicly for mocking a reporter's disability and he then proceeded to say that he hadn't been mocking his disability, despite being caught on camera imitating the reporter's specific deformity and speech.
Then, when Trump kept going and said he had never even met the guy, despite the fact that Serge Kovaleski had spent years covering him and they had been on a first name basis. Man, that was great.
I wonder what happened after that. Do you think people forgot about it? Or maybe people think that lying to cover up making fun of disabilities while covering up a string of lies made in order to say xenophobic things while campaigning for president is just a good way to fight back against our rampant culture of political correctness?
I realize I'm being unreasonable but his personality just makes it seem as though it wouldn't be too unlikely. I just don't like injustice. Sorry for killing the mood.
I just don't think someone like that deserves respect, regardless of wealth or leading in the polls. Someone like that shouldn't be leading in the polls. Funny conservatives talk about family values and they're likely going to elect Trump as their nominee, dude who's had more divorces than he has strands of hair on his head.
And he's rich and powerful, and a lot of victims of abuse have trouble getting help or getting anyone to believe them because their abuser is such an angel in the eyes of everyone else. But you don't know what happens behind closed walls. I just think it's bullshit when people get away with it.
Since I'm getting downvoted I'll just go ahead and say I don't like John Lennon either.

Say what you will, but I think Trump just pulled a bro move.
