Why Donald Trump Shouldn't Be President of the United States
Donald Trump is a man who lives off bigotry, boastfulness, and false promises. Is this the example we want our children to follow?
When Donald Trump began his unlikely presidential campaign 15 months ago, he said that his wealth and television celebrity status gave him credit; later, he cunningly added a catastrophic twist to his remarks by speaking of Mexican "rapists" entering the southern border.
From then on, it became clear that Trump's views responded to dangerous cynical impulses and pampering rather than reasoned politics. Nonetheless, Trump has drawn a crowd of Americans who attribute to him a higher purpose than he has demonstrated in his irresponsible campaign full of outbursts, scandals, false accusations, personal insults, xenophobic nationalism, unapologetic sexism, and changing positions according to his public and whims.
It is time for the undecided, who perhaps expect a drastic change in US policy and government, to take a serious look at Trump and see him for what he is. They have an obligation to weigh up their supposed virtues as a renewing politician. Otherwise, they could face the consequences of handing over the White House to a man far more interested in himself than in the welfare of the nation. Next, we will see how Trump has been publicized and why he is not credible.
Can a financial wizard apply his magic in executive government?
Despite his tall skyscrapers, Trump has a long history of bankruptcies and failed companies, such as Trump University, investigated by authorities after countless allegations of fraud. His name has been erased from his failed casinos in Atlantic City.
His blatant rejection of the prospect of showing his tax returns - which Clinton and other candidates have done for decades - should heighten mistrust of his businesses and charities. There is no doubt that publishing that information would set off many alerts; Public records already indicate that for some years he took full advantage of the loopholes available in the laws and did not pay taxes.
Trump's dubious global investments in Russia and many other places have been done opaquely, which could lead to conflicts of interest for him as president, especially if his business interests remain in the hands of his children, as he intends to do. Research has found that it has acted for its own benefit. In particular, he is known to have taken $ 258,000 from donors to his charitable foundation to crack down on lawsuits against his for-profit companies, according to The Washington Post.
A direct person who tells it like it is?
Trump, who lacks experience in national security, declares that he has a plan to completely defeat the Islamic State militants in Syria, but does not disclose it, and has avoided answering whether it would involve ground forces. Voters cannot judge whether you have any idea of what you are saying without a general summary of your plan; yet Trump absurdly insists that he will not give the enemy clues.
Doubts about some of his key proposals - his promise of a "total and absolute blockade" of Muslim migrants, in addition to the deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants and the construction of a border wall that Mexico will pay for - have been innumerable, while he swings back and forth in search of undecided voters. No matter what his twists are, Trump always makes it clear where he's leaning, thanks to the anti-immigration, local and racist indicators he has employed to build a fan base.
He used the shameful birthering campaign to attack President Barack Obama's legitimacy in order to cause controversy over his candidacy. But later, opportunistically, he denied his remarks with the intention of hooking undecided voters into accepting that Obama is an American by birth. In the process, he tried to smear Clinton by saying she was the inciter of questions about Obama's birthplace, and then he shunned questions from reporters.
Since he began his campaign, NBC News has tabulated that Trump has made 117 policy changes on 20 major issues, including three opposing views on abortion over the course of eight hours. As journalists try to identify their contradictions, Trump mocks them at political rallies. He stated that he would "relax" defamation laws to make it easier to sue news organizations that are not to his liking.
A skilled negotiator who can fix the government and outperform other world leaders?
His plan to reduce domestic debt was far from generating confidence. He said he would try to persuade creditors to accept less than the government owes and that whimsical idea, imported from Trump's debt-ridden real estate world, would weaken faith in the government and the stability of global financial markets. .
His tax cut plan has been no less alarming. Initially, he calculated that he would get $ 10 trillion in tax revenue; later, after reviewing their proposals, the figure dropped to 3 trillion, according to the calculations of an adviser. There are no credible indicators of how it will be paid, only guarantees that those in the upper echelons will be favored.
If Trump were president, the doubts he has voiced about the value of NATO would constitute a major diplomatic and security challenge, as would his repeated denunciations of trade agreements and relations with China. Trump promises to renegotiate the nuclear control deal with Iran, as if it were a deal on Broadway broadcasting rights.
Numerous experts in national defense and international affairs have recoiled from the idea that the nuclear arsenal is under their control. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell referred to Trump as "an international pariah." Trump has denounced time and again that global warming is a "farce", although in one of his golf courses located in Ireland he uses the argument of global warming when trying to build a protective wall because the sea level is rising.
By expressing his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump hints at acceptance of Putin's dictatorial mistreatment of his opponents and dissidents, some of whom have been assassinated, as well as his ruthless heavy-handedness against the press. Worse still is Trump's call on Russia to meddle in the presidential campaign by hacking Clinton's email. Voters should consider what kind of deals Putin could get if Trump, his admirer, wins the White House.
An agent of change for the nation and the world?
Of this there is no doubt. Still, voters should wonder if Trump will give them the kind of change they want. Starting a series of trade wars is a recipe that leads to recession, not new job creation for Americans.
