Trump has conducted himself in a way wholly unbecoming of the dignity of the office he holds. He tweets about the fleeting topic du jour like an impetuous teenager and directs the nation’s attention to the dramatic and inconsequential. Not conservative. 6/

Trump has utilized the antitrust laws to threaten and attack certain companies, like “Amazon’s Washington Post,” in order to execute a personal vendetta or just because he’s been rubbed the wrong way. Not conservative. 7/

Trump has routinely made judgments about the quality and ability of Americans based on their race. He once claimed that a Hispanic Article III judge (who was a native-born US citizen) could not fairly adjudicate a dispute because of his heritage. Not conservative. 8/

Trump has, on a number of occasions, undermined the rule of law and the legitimacy of our courts by personally attacking career Justice Department and FBI officials, and attacking the independence and competence of Article III judges. Not conservative. 9/

Trump has waged war against the press, creating hostile environments for reporters & chilling the freedoms that the Constitution guarantees & upon which this country was built. He attacks & deflects instead of answering head on. Snowflake. Not conservative. 10/

Trump’s politics are vindictive, personal, and mean-spirited. He often opts to demean his opponents and critics by calling them names and publicly shaming them, and very rarely makes substantive counterarguments. Not conservative. 11/

Trump has also increased the national debt to historic levels on the back of his $1.3 trillion omnibus spending measure. At $21 trillion, the national debt now stands at a near all-time high. But, Trump is busy calling Omarosa a dog and could care less. Not conservative. 12/

Finally, Trump has repeatedly shown himself to be morally bankrupt. He knowingly lies when the facts are uncomfortable for him, rarely if ever takes responsibility for his mistakes, & has attacked women, minorities, the disabled, and vets for political gain. Not conservative. 13/

Just two years ago, conservatives were busy taking folks like Mitt Romney & Marco Rubio to task for being insufficiently conservative over miscues paling in comparison to Trump’s heresies. The cult of hypocrisy that surrounds Trump today is killing our movement’s coherence. 14/

If you’re a conservative wearing a red MAGA hat cheering the president’s every move, look in the mirror. Ask yourself if Trump really passes the conservative sniff test. Then, snap out of it, throw the hat away, quit embarrassing yourself, & let’s get back to our principles.
