Why "people" hate Trump. It goes so much deeper than that he has been married more than once, that he has said some rude things about women in the past, that he has an "attitude" that rubs people the wrong way, and has tweeted some things even he has come to realize were not good. It is more...

I am looking to see on line a copy of the painting by Jack Chick's illustrator, Fred Clark, that shows a beautiful spirit of a woman rising from the dead old body she is leaving behind. Can you either post or PM me with this if you have access to it?
