It's been 1 week. I'm still angry, distraught, pissed, RAGING!

He lies.  He is a giant liar.
According to Politifact.com, 70% of Donald Trump's statements rated as False, Mostly False and the flaming Pants-On-Fire. [1] 
In contrast, Hillary Clinton's statements score 74% on the true side of the scale, rating True, Mostly True or Half True.[2]

But to give a more comprehensive score, one should quantify his overall "falsiness" under Politifact's rating system. To do this I translated their scale to numeric values and used those values to weigh the results accordingly:
   0.00 True
   0.25 Mostly True (so 75% true, 25% false)
   0.50 Half True (or 50% false)
   0.75 Mostly False
   1.00 False
   2.00 Pants On Fire (or double false)

At the time of writing, Trump's tally comes out to a whopping 93% Falsiness.
To be fair, I begrudgingly add that Clinton's 26% False rated statements translate to her getting a 43% overall falsiness score, but for her the majority of the false scoring comes from Half-True rated statements.  Trump's purely False and Pants-On-Fire statements dominate the statements in his scoring.  Bad! Very Bad!

Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. 

He lies.  He said ANYTHING it took to get elected.
Now that he believes he has won the office, the flipping and back-peddling has begun. Two of the major policy promises he made -- removing Obamacare and marriage equity legislation -- both essential reason people voted for him are now off the table. [3][4]

It enrages me when I hear people supported Trump because they wanted a change, and believe it could come from Trump simply because he is not a politician. Isn't lying considered the primary negative flaw in politicians?

• Lying in not upholding campaign promises
• Lying in the oaths lawmakers take that they will represent their constituents when voting on legislation according to lobby interests
• Even lying about private, personal sexual relations between another consenting adult that no one has business knowing about.

Politicians' lies are the whole reason organizations like Politifact exist!

Trump's lying qualifies him for the primary characteristic of a seasoned politician.  If it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, and came out of an ass, it's a turd people! So it defies logic that Trump supporters believe that Trump is something other than a politician, at least in anyway that will will bring the change they claim to want.

Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. 

He lies. Even before he started his campaign, lying has been rampant through his business practices demonstrated by the plethora of lawsuits against him. [5]

Lies in the form of contracts not fulfilled, workers not paid, lies about wealth students of his "University" would expect. And what isn't out as lies has been hidden by payoffs A.K.A. "settlements" or shut down with threats. I could go through the examples in detail but they are just too sickening for me right now. My stomach is threatening to reject my lunch reviewing the list. Please see for yourself from the list USAToday is keeping.

Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. 

It enrages me that such a liar could possibly be elected to the President of the United States of America.  And as the cream of the bucket of deplorables (or rather the scunge at the bottom), the most heinous political characters in this country are being appointed to Trump's cabinet and staff positions I fear my blood pressure is going burst an artery.  So I need to sum this up and watch some puppy videos to calm down...

The point I am trying to drive to: the magnitude of Donald Trump's lies is pathological and shows a complete lack of integrity. He does not possess the ethics that would stop him from implementing a scheme to commit widespread voter fraud; or at least over a few states: FL, NC, WI, MI, PA.

There, I said it.

Why Donald J. Trump should not get your vote

One of the main "reasons" I hear touted for support of Trump is Donald's great success in business will make him a great president. This assumption and conclusion is WRONG on all levels.

Firstly, his success is questionable...

• How many bankruptcies has he had?
• How many lawsuits?
• How much money did he get from his father to start?

But more flawed in this "reasoning" is a misconception that the skill set of a privileged, unethical, real estate developer would aid in success as president.  

Skills of great presidents -- or any successful elected official -- is in how they work with others. They have excellent communication skill to bring consensus among a wide set of people. Donald J. Trump's simple, bombastic, hate-filled speak works on a good sized segment of the American public, but will not rally our legislators or negotiate with foreign leaders.  

As a business leader, his position has been as a dictator. Employees are required to follow his orders with no questions asks. If not, they hear "you're fired!" Donald won't have this power to leverage with congress or abroad. Only with his cabinet, which he will most likely fill with brown-nosing yes-men only to compound the problem.

Also extremely vital for success in government is to recognize excellence in people that he surrounds himself with.  From appointing the most qualified individuals to cabinet positions, but especially in selecting outstanding advisers and then LISTENING to those advisers. Trump's own campaign staff -- experts in their field -- have had to resort to tricks as one would get a toddler to eat his vegetables to get him to do what they need.

How can anything good come from this?
