On Sunday night when Donald Trump the candidate from another planet said "if I had been president, he would be alive" I just about lost my mind.
His callousness is beyond anything I have ever witnessed.
George W Bush lied us into a war, in which hundreds of thousands have died.
Richard Nixon allowed his paranoia to destroy his presidency.
Ronald Reagan destroyed the safety net.
Bill Clinton had problems with his zipper.
But Donald Trump as our President would make all of those men look like angels.
Last night Khizr Khan, the father of Captain Humayun Khan, the fallen soldier that Trump was referring to appeared on the Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. As he listened to a soldier who was on the base that fateful day described the event, msnbc did a split screen, showing Mr Khan.
The pain on his face as he heard that story again, had me in tears.
Has Donald Trump ever cried, except perhaps in a fit of fury because he could not get the toy or car or woman that he wanted?
This is the video from last night, I hope you can spare a few minutes to watch it. To remember that lives depend on decisions made by our leaders.
