There are over 9000 "Asian" massage parlors in America and the ONLY person who says they're mostly real massage parlors is you. And you're whining "racism" in their defense, at that.

Why do some people dislike Donald Trump?

Before listing my reasons to not like him, I should note that I have met and dined with Donald Trump. If your litmus test of candidates is “which one would I rather have a beer with?” trust me when I tell you this isn’t the guy.

The list:

1) Trump doesn’t have a dog. He’s anti-dog. When he doesn’t like someone (say Mitt Romney) he says they “choked like a dog.” Or in the case of a woman (say Carly Fiorina), he says they “have a face like a dog.”

2) Trump has no sense of humor. He doesn’t tell funny stories, and he doesn’t laugh at those who do. His idea of wit is to imitate people with afflictions, or give you a 5th-grade nickname like “Little Marco” or “Nervous Nancy.”

3) He doesn’t drink (even though he often sounds drunk when he talks). He thinks “Bud Light” is a homophobic nickname he could use someday.

4) He is not a good scout. (I was an Eagle Scout, and can still recite the Scout Law). “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind...” You get the idea.

5) He’s “so vain.” The spray tan. His love of watching himself on TV. Who really likes a narcissist?

6) He’s not a patriot. This guy dodged the draft for Vietnam but dismissed John McCain’s seven years of captivity and torture with: “I like people that weren’t captured.”

7) He’s a major tax dodger, which really gets to me when I write that IRS check knowing how much this guy loves spending my money but won’t pay his share.

8) It’s hard to like somebody who rips off charities. Trump’s foundation had to pay $2 million for a “shocking pattern of illegality,” and the state of New York has barred him and his adult children from serving on the boards of any charities.

9) He’s a liar. COVID-19 is usually like a case of the sniffles and will “magically disappear.” He would’ve won the popular vote if 3 million illegal aliens hadn’t voted.

10) He’s such a whiner. You’d think a guy in the White House, with the Senate in his lap, two of his own Supreme Court Justices and Fox News would have things under control. But he plays the victim card like Blanche DuBois.

11) The buck stops anywhere but with Trump. The first thing I learned in Navy OCS was that if it happens on your watch, you own it. With Trump, if it’s a good thing, he takes all the credit. Bad? He had nothing to do with it.

12) The creepy sex vibe. Talking about how “hot” his daughter is, barging into the dressing room of his Miss Universe pageants, hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. Paying off the strippers. And, of course, the “grabbing.”

13) Probably the most Godless president of my lifetime, he doesn’t go to church, has no idea what’s in the Bible—“a very special book” — but he claims we couldn’t say “Merry Christmas” until he took office. Ha Ha.

14) He cheats at golf. Suggested reading: “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump” by the great sportswriter Rick Reilly.

15) He loves the Confederate flag. Both my mother and father’s family homes sat squarely in the path of Sherman’s march across Georgia. But I know what that flag stands for — stoking the fires of racial division and hatred. Even the state of Mississippi has abandoned it. Not Trump, whose family arrived 20 years after the Civil War.

I could go on. But No. 15 is where to focus — it’s the most dangerous and appears to be the only card Trump has left to get re-elected. So far, it’s not working so well.

Alicia Czechowski When Donald Trump is not around, do Ivanka and Jared interact and relate to Melania Trump or is there cold distance? Are they barely civil to keep up appearances for outsiders? The Knavs/Knauss clan and the trumps have little interaction. Melania has apparently been delegated all responsibility (other than financial) for her son. She has chosen to live in Maryland with her parents near Barron’s school in Potomac. Photographs and video show that Melania’s interaction with any of the trumps, including hubby, is essentially in the ceremonial realm. It has long been supposed that Melania is at odds with Ivanka who frequently co-opts the role of First Lady to herself. Daddy’s Favorite is a thorn in Melania’s side. Jared, as the future Queen’s consort, has been only too happy to hold on to Ivanka’s skirt and ride the POTUS Gravy Train to glory, fame, and endless skimming. Melania made a rare show of what looked like uncontrollable loathing, at the RNC, when she “smiled” at her rival, followed by the ax-murderer’s stare.

I hear the Portland shooter was aggressively approached by his victim before shooting. Was this vigilante just practicing self defense too? If you Trumpers didn't have double standard, you wouldn't have any.

BREAKING: Pence says he “doesn’t recall” if he was told to take over when Trump made his emergency visit to Walter Reed. Which absolutely confirms the story. Trump is unwell and completely unfit for office. #TrumpCancelsFootball
