Trump an embarrassment

Having just lost my brother with cerebral palsy, I’m appalled by Donald Trump’s latest rant. I am disgusted with him. His imitation of a handicapped reporter has to be his worst behavior yet during his campaign.

Who are Trump’s followers? How could such a person lead this nation having made the comments he has? How could foreign leaders ever believe the things that he would say as he represents our country? Does it really matter whether a person has $1 million, or even $10 billion?

If Franklin Delano Roosevelt were alive today, would Trump make fun of his polio?

Enough is enough. He is an embarrassment to the American people.
