Do Trump's Values Really Represent Us?

The Jury is Still Out

More than 77 million people voted for Donald Trump after he mocked a disabled reporter.
They voted for him after he was caught on an Access Hollywood tape bragging that he can grab women by the pussy anytime he wants
They voted for him after he called U.S. military veterans who died in combat "suckers" and "losers."
They voted for him after he said neo Nazis who participated in a deadly Chalottesville, VA protest were good people.
They voted for him after he quoted Adolf Hitler verbatim in speeches and after he told his former chief of staff that Hitler did some good things.
They voted for him after he was convicted of sexually assauting a woman inside a New York City department store.
And they probably would, as he once said, vote for him if he were to shoot and kill someone on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
God help us if Trump's values and the values of the people who voted for him -- and who still support him -- represent the promise of America.
