Another one I forgot: Trump’s extravagant lies about his charitable giving. He claims to have given a lot, but actually has given nothing. ---

This is just…awesome. Bravo, Knorf. I went with climate change but, really, it’s hard to go wrong. ---

I was thinking of his advocating to kill the entire families of terrorists. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Overruled. Objection! 🙂 I think one should read the article, I kept thinking that it was odd that the lawyer was talking about **issues that already have been reported in the press about Trump**. I was waiting for it but there were no revelations from the lawyer about what underhanded things Trump did about the case were the lawyer did the work for Trump. It is like if the lawyer does indeed know about being professional. Just about the only thing I saw the lawyer quoting about Trump was about his inflated ego, and on an issue also covered by the newspapers then. ---

Agreed. Nothing was disclosed that would violate the attorney’s professionalism. ---

I think what disqualifies him the most are his short fingers. Imagine what would happen if he actually needed to push The Button, but his stubby fingers prevent him from reaching it. ---

On the other hand (ha!), if he has to be tackled to prevent a rage induced launch, that lack of length might be what saves the world.
