(22,944 posts)I know lots of people with hellish childhoods who turned away from a negative path.
He had scads of opportunities. He could have grown into a better person. He chose not to.
He could have strived to be a good father and husband. He chose not to.
He could have decided to run an ethical business. He chose not to.
He could have used his power as President to make life better for hundreds of millions of people. He chose not to.
Instead, he lied, cheated, stole, assaulted women, alienated the friends of our country while bolstering our enemies, and his willful neglect cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their lives, more than any American war.
He was entrusted with a position of honor and power, and exploited it for selfish reasons. He broke his oath and betrayed our country.
He hates dogs.
I could go on and on, but you're right. Hate is negative, and I don't invite it into my life. But for a guy who is weakened by pity, he sure does beg for it. Incessantly. I would argue that pity does feed an energy vampire.
