Evidence about why I dislike Donald Trump- because he is a terrible person and failed leader

An echo opinion letter published in the Iowa newspaper Quad-City Times:  
Damning text messages detail Trump pressure on Ukraine
On the front page of the Quad-City Times (Sept. 26), Sen. Chuck Grassley said the impeachment of our troubled president is only sought by Trump haters. (Senator Grassley has abandoned his oath of office.  "I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;" https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/Feature_Homepage_TheOathWeTake.htm

I wrote the senator that my "dislike" of Mr. Trump had been earned by his actions and words. Examples of his behavior I listed were:

• Endangering our national security by alienating our main allies and embracing our main enemy, Russia;
• Mocking a national war hero, John McCain, and a handicapped reporter and Gold Star parents;
• Bragging about his many sexual assaults on women;
• Telling more than 12,000 lies since taking office (not yet 3 years);
• Not helping with, but contributing to, the climate change crisis, the number one issue of our life-time;

  • Using his office to daily violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution;
• Using the office to try to undermine a political rival with a foreign government under extreme stress from our main enemy, Russia.

There are at least 10 more reasons I have "dislike" for Mr. Trump, I wrote.
So I concluded: "Senator, open your eyes to the corruption all around you in this administration. Or are you simply a part of that corruption?"
