“Donald Trump can't even handle the rough and tumble of a presidential campaign. He loses his cool at the slightest provocation. When he has gotten a tough question from a reporter, when he is challenged in a debate. When he sees a protester at a rally.

And in the end, it comes down to what Donald Trump doesn't get, America is great because America is good.”
