Mirsky: The Trolling of Donald Trump

Growing older can be an enlightening, exciting experience, but sometimes it can be a shock. Like when you realize that your dearest friends and family members are not going to live forever, that you may be required by fate to outlive the people with whom you feel the deepest bonds. But I want America to live on forever, as a Constitutional Democracy devoted to protecting humanity and human rights for all.

I have been watching events unfold in this Presidential Contest, now entering its final stages, for the past few years, and I have seen that there is much going on right now that I do not quite understand, things I am not very good at because I am getting old: like handling my iPhone, for one thing, or understanding the concept of “trolling”.

Trolling is apparently a way to get a lot of attention on the Internet by being absolutely revolting and contrary.

Our most famous troll is Donald Trump, who just won’t shut up.

I want Donald Trump to shut up. Trump is not trying to help our country. He is terrified that he will lose the 2016 Presidential Election, to a Woman, former U.S. Senator and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and so Trump would rather destroy every sense of decency left in our national discourse than just fade out into the sunset like all other losing Presidential candidates in U.S. history.

The Republican Party has a lot to be ashamed about this year. But there are leaders in the Republican Party nationally who have stepped up to the plate to join the good fight against the anti-American 2016 GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, a New York business man who refuses to release his IRS income tax returns.

Some of our Republican politicians in New Hampshire are supporting Donald Trump. A man who has raised the possibility of an America ruled by a policy of government torture of the so-called enemies of the State, a man who has supported the killing of civilians by purposeful military strategy, a man who supports the singling out of particular religious and ethnic groups for State-sponsored vilification, echoing policies that formed the basis of the social and political structure of Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. You can put aside all the other typical campaign drivel, just take note of which candidates for higher office in the Granite State are supporting for President a man who is echoing Adolf Hitler.

There are many serious people out there, including some prominent Republicans, who have not been taken in by Donald Trump.

Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, a Republican, who is now 92 years old, is not impressed by Trump. Bush is voting for Hillary Clinton this year. Because former U.S. President George H. W. Bush does not want to see our country destroyed.

Republicans, Americans, like former U.S. President George H. W. Bush are not worried about giving power to Hillary Clinton for a few years. But they are afraid of a man taking power who is enamored of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, a despotic ruler who is trying to establish world domination for his country, through vile and evil means, including the murder of his political opponents.

You see, Donald Trump loves Vladimir Putin, for some reason not yet disclosed. Perhaps Trump, a businessman whose projects have often ended in bankruptcy, owes Putin a lot of money?
