Supporting Trump is not your “opinion.” It’s just death
"It is not your “opinion” that it’s tolerable, even OK to sexually assault women, label foreigners rapists and drug dealers, default on your debts, mock the disabled, scam all your business partners, donate nothing to charity and skim millions from your own charitable foundation as you threaten to build a 2,000-mile wall, murder the spouses of terrorists and spit on the Constitution."

By Charles Simic.
