“I never met a man I didn’t like.” — Will Rogers

Born in Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma), part Cherokee, the former cowpoke and humorist died in a plane crash in 1935; thus he never met Donald Trump.

Trump is easy to dislike, and had the two met, I’m certain that the plain-talking, truth-telling Rogers would have made an exception for the egomaniac liar Trump.

I hate no one but will admit to having a low tolerance for the likes of our president.

By calling neo-Nazis “fine people,” along with his history of bigotry, I believe Trump is a dog-whistle racist at best.

I find calling those who died in service to our country “losers” and “suckers,” as reported in The Atlantic, appalling, especially by a draft dodger. Unlike Trump, I believe John McCain to be a war hero. As a veteran, I am personally offended.

Four times a year I write checks, payable to the U.S. Treasury, as my fair share estimated tax payment to live in this great country. Trump considers nonpayment or minimal tax payments as evidence of how “smart” he is. Even Uncle Sam has to dislike Trump.

MAGA enablers and spineless sycophants who remain silent, thus acquiescing to his behavior, are complicit with their unchallenged approval of Trump’s actions and words with their votes. I cannot and am certain that Will Rogers wouldn’t either.
