“The comparison is quite apposite all are legal all are sleazy all disqualify.”

Oh?
Somehow God forgot to include Roller Derby and TV Wrestling when he handed the tablets to Moses.

The TV wrestling that Trump was engaged in is nothing more than silly and harmless entertainment, while abortion and prostitution are real moral evils.

The fact that you are trying to equate them is a sign of how unhinged you’ve become in your zeal to discredit Trump.

Donald Trump's participation in TV wrestling is sleazy for the same reason that being a prostitute is sleazy: the prostitute and the wrestler are demeaned. Trump profits from wrestlers humiliating themselves in public. The difference between Donald Trump and the owner of gladiators in ancient Rome is only a question of the degree of violence and the degree of exploitation of the participants. Trump's gladiators prostitute their dignity and their basic self-respect in public for Trump's money. The whole process is not "innocent" but panders to the basic instincts of the mob. If he could have, Trump no doubt would've conducted his wrestling matches in the Roman Colosseum.

The distinctions between a pimp, a wrestling promoter, a slaver, a gladiator impresario and Donald Trump are differences only in degree but not in quality.

To elect Donald Trump president United States is about is sleazy as electing Hugh Hefner President of the United States and that is true not just because of Donald Trump's sleazy attachments to beauty contests, wrestling, price fighting, and gambling but because of his collection of trophy wives and his divorces and his ceaseless demeaning of women in his remarks.

Worse, Trump has proved by his own actions that he has no sense of propriety, no discernment of the demands of human dignity. Are we really going to have as the moral leader of the United States the man who shaved Vince McMahon's head? Why not Hugh Hefner? For that matter, why not Bill Clinton?

Donald Trump is a sleazoid.

Trump's unfitness for office on the moral level as I pointed out in my earlier post is not limited to his sleazy attachments but is the dominating thread of his entire life story as is apparent in his marriages, his philanderings, his arrogance, his appalling business judgment which led to bankruptcies and business failures, his cruelties, his lies, his frauds, his lawsuits and his boorishness.
