"I still don't understand why it didn't just end here"



I saw a Twitter post with the picture of Trump mocking a reporter with cerebral palsy. "I still don't understand why it didn't just end here" it read.

And neither do I. I wonder why people think Trump will somehow be different. I wonder what all the people who voted for Trump would think if they saw the kind of behaviour featured above if Trump were

a) a priest
b) a teacher
c) a police person
d) a doctor
e) a shop worker
f) a child
g) a friend
h) a social worker
i) a boss
j) etc

Would they accept it?
Really?

And yet in the man who is going to be president of the USA, it is acceptable.

Hang your head in shame.
