The idea that
Donald Trump could win the Presidency terrifies me. It's not because he would
make a bad President that his harsh rudeness could piss off the wrong country
leader. It's not because his fake tan and fake hair would make him an excellent
addition to the Jersey Shore cast. It scares me because I STRONGLY believe
people don't know what or who they are voting for. Today's Americans come from
the age of excessive TV watching. That's exactly where Trump is from, TV.
People have seen his name and his outrageous personality. I believe people are
sucked into his campaign because he has the exposure. Then the uninformed
American latches onto his every word and believe what he is saying is right.
Trump wants to
build a giant wall to stop people from Mexico from coming to the US? Well,
okay, all of Trump's supporters can work the fruit-picking job for three cents
an hour so that food prices won't rise by 3000%. Oh, and Trump wants Mexico to
pay for the wall. (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform)
Recently, in reference to the oil fields in Syria and Iraq, he stated he would
"bomb the s--- out of 'em." I'm not convinced this is the solution.
What is the difference between ISIS going into France to cause mass casualties
and destruction and the US going into Syria or Iraq to cause mass casualties
and destruction? Now, I am not putting good (used loosely) and evil on the same
playing field. What happened in France and other places around the world was
absolutely devastating. It would be just as devastating to the non-ISIS members
in those countries to have their whole world destroyed because of the radicals
in their countries.
Trump
supporters rally behind all of his words and don't think about what he is
actually saying. But, Trump is new, flashy and exciting to watch. Trump isn't
some boring Senator from some boring state; he's Donald Trump -- "You're
fired!" -- Everyone knows who that phrase belongs to. I don't know if Donald
Trump would be a great President or our next corrupt world leader. I also don't
know who would be the best President all of the candidates we have been
presented with. What I do know is, the American voter needs to be informed by
real facts.
All of these thoughts are my own but I did draw some inspiration from the following:

Having been to several trump events now to study them, it is more and more apparent that his support is far ranging on the political spectrum. His support at his rallies and events seems to be unwavering. Having been to other town halls and events it seems like people are hanging onto every word he says like gospel. It is so interesting to hear the reactions from people saying they support him because he "speaks his mind" and has patriotism. I am still on the fence about as to why his support hasn't declined among registered republicans because of viability in a general election. Time will tell if he can sustain his support versus other candidates surging in poll numbers and favorability ratings.
Trump has been talked about on here a lot and i just can't see him running the country. I would love to see someone with his economic qualities to lead the countries but he is to extreme to lead the country. I could not see him be put in the position of a peace talk. I feel he would butcher it . He needs to realize that the presidency is held in high regard and by being disrespectful and so one sided. America is a melting pot and it doesn't seem he knows that. it just seems nothing would get done if he were elected into office.
