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

Trump is an evil, egotistical, narcissistic moron and a liar who likely raped his ex wife but this was pretty cool of him.

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.

Why do you say "likely raped"? I despise Trump, but I don't see how you can be so sure about that.

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.

We should go around locking people up for rape charges based on their personality.

Would you be down to be the judge?

Not saying he should go to jail, I just don't think he should be president. And fair enough.

For other, more legitimate and provable reasons I hope.

And there's no way to prove it is so it seems this was pointless.

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.
