"You can do anything"

If Trump shouldn't be president because of his sexual harassment or worse of women, then (on the face of it) it seems arguable neither should some presidents have been president because they did the same or similar (e.g. JFK who may have coerced an intern named Mimi Alford to give oral sex to a friend of his while JFK watched).

If fair is fair, then the same people who have (rightly) criticized Trump should likewise criticize former presidents like JFK and Bill Clinton who sexually harassed women or worse. These same people should say something like: Trump shouldn't be president because he is a sexual predator, and neither should JFK or Bill have been president because they too were or are sexual predators.

However, I won't hold my breath because many of these same people who are criticizing Trump have a double standard when it comes to their own side. They will only criticize people who don't share their political views rather than being fair-minded and consistent and criticizing anyone (regardless of political affiliation or politics in general) who has sexually harassed women or worse.

In fact, if they were truly fair, then they would also criticize women who have sexually harassed men or worse. For example, if a woman touches or grabs a man's leg or butt, and he doesn't want it, then it's possible she has sexually harassed him.

Trump panders to voters

"Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!" (Donald Trump)

"I really appreciate the support given to me by the evangelicals. They’ve been incredible. Every poll says how well I'm doing with them. And you know, my mother gave me this Bible, this very Bible, many years ago...It's just very special to me, and again I want to thank the evangelicals. I will never let you down." (Donald Trump)

"Any day is a great day for pho soup. I love Asians!" (Comedian Nathan Fielder replying to @realDonaldTrump)

I suppose next up for Trump is a photo of him eating fried chicken and waffles then saying "I love blacks!"?

Or perhaps a photo of him smoking a tobacco pipe and saying "I love Native Americans"?

"Closing that internet up in some way"

I can't help but remember the following scenes from The IT Crowd in light of Trump's recent remarks about "the internet":
