Trump and Dignity

Like many lifelong Republicans, my mom is a reluctant Trump supporter. She disapproves of a great deal of the former president’s behavior, but, like many in her position, couldn’t bring herself to vote for a Democrat under any circumstances.

I asked her why it seems that Trump’s slipping in the poles, and now looks poised to lose in November.  She explained that, for some reason, he was fairly quiet immediately following the assassination attempt, and that this, temporarily, made him appear dignified.  Recently, however, he’s gone back to the name-calling and bullying for which he’s best known, which is anything but dignified.
