A small church in rural western Kentucky mailed out a flyer with an article titled "5 Suggestions for a Better Life."   

Christians are supposed to be happy folk. So a local Democratic activist did a double-take when she read Point 5--"How to be Miserable." Okay, it really wasn't a how-to. It described miserable behavior. 

She read the article and posted it on her Facebook page with a question, "Anyone else think this describes Trump to a tee????" 

Judge for yourself.

According to flyer, you're a miserable person if you: "Think about yourself. Talk about yourself. Use 'I' as often as possible. Mirror yourself continually in the opinion of others. Listen greedily to what people say about you. Expect to be appreciated.

Be suspicious. Be jealous and envious. Be sensitive to slights. Never forgive a criticism. Trust nobody but yourself. Insist on consideration and respect. Demand agreement with your own views on everything. Sulk if people are not grateful to you for favors shown them. Never forget a service you have rendered. Shirk your duties if you can. Do as little as possible for others."
