Letter: Many concerns about Trump

I am 82 years old, mother of a disabled daughter. I witnessed Donald Trump making fun of such a person. I shall never forget it. What kind of a person does such a horrible thing? It was deplorable.
I read about Steve Bannon making fun of Jews, minorities and how much he liked the confederate flag.
Then there is General Michael Flynn being chosen for National Security Advisor. He was seen in Russia on TV dining with Putin, the former KGB director. I read that the Russian government admitted to communicating with the Trump team. Why would he do that? Putin's government is alleged to have killed six journalists for investigating his government and writing about it.
Who would support a man who admits to trying to grab women's genitals and forcing kisses on them?
Then there are white supremacists giving the Heil Hitler salute to Trump. The Ku Klux Klan and David Duke love him. He was known to stiff people working on his projects. They didn't get paid.
Multiple bankruptcies. We pick up those pieces. He says he does not pay taxes.
He has appointed billionaires. Their goal - eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Is that what you want?
He said he would drain the swamp. I believe the alligators and snakes are coming for all of us!
Him be my president? Never, ever! Just making fun of the handicapped was enough for me. Don't tell me to get over it! It ain't going to happen!
