Hi, Jim -

I am appalled and insulted and morally outraged almost every day by the statements of Donald Trump. He's the President of the United States and he's supposed to be representing my country and me - so I think I'm right (maybe obliged) to be outraged when he recites his racist, nationalist crap.

When Tommy Robinson says something racist, I am not outraged - I just think he's an idiot. And if somebody posts something at Mudcat supporting Tommy Robinson, I feel no obligation to be outraged or to take action against the poster - I just think he's an idiot, too. He's not representing me and he's not representing Mudcat, so I feel no obligation to be outraged. There are lots of idiots in the world. I don't have enough energy to be outraged by every one of them.

But Trump, well....Trump is another matter. I despise the bastard.
