American voters knew Donald was a horrible person before he was elected, yet he was elected anyway. In July 2017, he or his Administration showed how horrible they are at least 77 times.

In October 2016, before Donald was elected president, I wrote a post about how any Donald voter had to accept a lot of awful stuff to vote for Donald. For example, I wrote:

You don’t have to be a misogynist to vote for Donald Trump, you just have to be ok with misogyny.

You don’t have to be a sexual assaulter to vote for Donald Trump, you just have to be ok with sexual assault.

You don’t have to be a rapist to vote for Donald Trump, you just have to be ok with rape.

You don’t have to be a racist to vote for Donald Trump, you just have to be OK with racism.

The list of things you had to be OK with was 51 items long, and since Donald’s election, it’s become clear that it should have had several dozen more items.

On June 29, I announced that I was going to start keeping track of all the creepy, unethical, immoral, illegal, or otherwise unAmerican things that Donald was doing, and then compare them to my original list of items from October. This article marks the first installment of what will become a monthly update.

Please note that I’ve broadened some of my original 51 terms somewhat and that I’ve included the statements and actions of Donald’s cabinet and key administration members.

Summary
In the month of July, 2017, I identified 77 unique items that met one or more of my 51 categories (see below for a complete list).

—

I’m sure that not everyone will agree with my categories, or that every news article I mention clearly and explicitly contains the category I identified. That’s fine, because that’s not the point of the list.

The point is to remind everyone who voted for Donald that yes, we actually did know he would be this bad before the 2016 election. That he hasn’t “grown into the presidency” or matured in any way (although why anyone would think a 70+ year old man could “mature” is beyond me).

And that the rest of us won’t let Donald’s voters forget it.
