Comparing Trump to other dangerous nationalists and populists in history is really no joke. His divisive leadership and rhetoric that appeals to those who operate on anger and hatred, those who blame foreigners, immigrants, minorities or religious groups for their ills; those who would make enemies of the opposition, those who scream for non-followers to be imprisoned or deported or executed, those who think torture is constitutional, gives legitimacy to all their beliefs and allows them to act upon those beliefs.
He is a clear and present danger to society, to democracy.
It is time the CIA investigates fully his ties to foreign governments. It is time the FBI investigates fully his possible criminal activities on American soil.
Trump is no laughing matter.
