Why Donald Trump is worse than Charles Manson.

Manson was responsible for eight deaths. Trump is pushing 200,000.

Manson was never a tax cheat.

Manson didn’t make a career of stiffing his contractors.

Manson never claimed he could kill someone in public and get away with it.

Manson never bragged about sexually abusing women with impunity because he was famous.

Manson did not contaminate the earth with more copies of himself.

Manson’s 50 years as a guest of the California penal system cost, by some estimates, close to $2M.  Trump racks up twice that on a golf weekend at Mar A Lago, all paid for by American taxpayers.

Manson was not mentored by Roy Cohn.

Nobody was ever killed in response to Manson’s murders.  When Trump ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, Iranian air defenses went high-twitch and shot down a civilian airliner carrying 63 Canadians.

Manson never set up a fake charity as a personal slush fund.

Charles Manson never mocked a disabled person in front of a large audience – and TV cameras.

Manson never denied established and accepted climate science and claimed that Californians brought devastating wildfires upon themselves by failing to rake the forest.

Manson never had fake hair.

Manson never paid anyone to take college exams for him.

Manson did not put children in cages.

Manson wanted to start a race war. Trump is starting a race war.

Manson and his followers took a lot of drugs, but he never told them to inject disinfectants.

Manson didn’t have a full-time “fixer” to let him dance away from his crimes.

Manson didn’t suck up to dictators.

Trump hasn’t yet died in prison.
