Like nails on a chalkboard

There may be words out there somewhere to succinctly describe my thoughts about Donald Trump, but I surely can’t find them. I look for policy words worse than cruel and conditions worse than soulless. I look for descriptions worse than bully and characteristics worse than heartless.

Is there a word that describes a man who is anti-women but talks about dating his own daughter? A man that says he prefers US soldiers that aren’t captured but kisses the flag? A man that throws paper towels at hurricane victims but thinks he should be installed at Mount Rushmore?

Is it possible to find a word for someone who is gleeful about erasing Black history but adds his name to The Kennedy Center? Who mocks a disabled reporter yet rides everywhere in a limousine or golf cart? What’s the word to describe someone who tears SNAP benefits away from children while adding golden decorations to the Oval Office? Who purposefully destroys the East Wing while planning a gazillion-dollar ballroom?

What do you say about a man who destroys every last institution in our country while he talks about taking over Greenland, or Canada or Venezuela? A man who still has stolen, top-secret files at Mar-a-Lago while he spews falsehoods about how bad immigrants are for our country?

This Mr. Red, White & Blue must think we’re really stupid. His flag pin does nothing to convince me he’s a patriot. His grifting offspring do nothing for the word “family” nor does his hand-batting, “Be Best” wife with the hat pulled down over her eyes make me think of true love.

This is the fake bone spur guy who wants to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. A better place for him would be solitary confinement in a federal prison until his very last breath.

The big shock in 2016 was finding out how well that approach worked. Since then, I have had a sense of dread about the future of our country that goes well beyond #rump.

... is a strong contender, as is "PSYCHOPATH", or "RABID HYENA". T'was not always the case, but now, the word, "REPUBLICAN" sums up all three, and then some.

The Klingon dictionary might have some descriptors that are suitably vile.
