For starters, I'm going to open with saying that Donald Trump is a complete idiot and I legitimately have no idea how he has lasted in the runnings as long as he has. But, that isn't entirely true. I do know at least part of why and it is a sad reason in all honesty. It is simply because in spite of no one wanting to openly admit it, the vast majority of the people wanting to vote for him simply have no idea what is really going on in the world around him and agree with him simply because he is as dumb as they are and has no more going for him than being loud and pretty damn vulgar(which is ever so popular and American society nowadays).
Moving on, I would like to discuss some of his political views. Not so much discuss as state how ludicrous a lot of his policy ideas and beliefs are.
Foreign Policy:
Not only has he admitted that he does not have a foreign policy formulated yet, but he also believes that the US's European allies should confront Russia. A country, mind you, that just in sheer numbers in military personnel is enough to give pause to any rational person with thoughts of doing what Trump is "suggesting". Hitler had control over the armed forces of 5 countries, NOT including enlisted military from conquered countries(which would bring it to about 17), and STILL failed to take on Russia when he decided to turn against that particular ally. And as it stand now, the US is quite far from favor of many of its "allies". Meaning that not only is this highly unlikely to even be taken into consideration, but he would most likely be looked on as a bigger fool than Bush proved to be.
Immigration:
Being a first generation citizen himself(ironic considering his views on this topic), you would think he would have a better grasp of things. Sadly, this is not the case. His biggest reason for opposing legal status for undocumented immigrants is that it would be a "suicide mission" for the republican party because he believes they ALL would then vote democratic. Along with proposing to build "a real wall" to keep immigrants out. Not only is this a complete folly but also entirely hypocritical coming from a man whose entire clothing line is made in the country he wants to build a wall against(Mexico and in the case of some other Trump label products, China). Who would he have build this wall anyway? Considering his greed and hypocrisy, no doubt he would have the same immigrants he speaks out so loudly against build it to spend as little as possible on the wall construction and then attempt to deport them immediately after they are done. The man simply doesn't understand how to properly handle these policies either.
Same-Sex Marriage:
Oh here's a fun one. Claiming his views are "evolving" but that he still favors "traditional marriage"(between a man and a woman for those that don't keep up on such things), and states it isn't his "thing". Now to me that's just a bold face lie coming from a man who makes his living from bullshitting everyone. He is simply trying to garner favor with voters who are against him for his anti-marriage equality views. And personally, I'm not inclined to respect the views on marriage from a man who has been married 3 separate times.
Environmental Issues:
It just keeps getting better with him as I go down the list. Trump adamantly DENIES that climate change(which, yes, there is scientific proof of this, people) is occurring and calls it a hoax. Saying that those who warn of it only want to raise taxes, which no doubt he would do to the working class regardless to avoid having to make any of his rich little friends in big business pay more. He also tried to sue, UNSUCCESSFULLY, in 2013 to block plans for wind turbines in Scotland that would power over 60,000 homes. One of the main points in his legal argument was that the turbines would "mar the view" from the golf course he was proposing to build.
Last but definitely not least,
Economy and Budget:
This one I will keep short because there is simply too much stupidity to even wrap my brain around trying to explain in any truly sensible way. Suffice to say, he wants to pretend that the economic instability and almost imminent failure at the rate the dollar is declining, is the result of countries that export to the US, such as China and Japan, engaging in currency manipulation. Which yes, there may be some small weight to that. But the reality is, the decline of the dollar and all round economic decline is more the result of money spent on wars that should never ave been started to begin with and bailing out banks and large corporations instead of the hardworking taxpayers who actually needed the economic stimulus given to the banks. Had we given that money to the PEOPLE instead of the CORPORATIONS, we would be far and away better off.
I end this post by saying that, if you have at least half a brain and an ability to understand reason, you will now hopefully have a slightly better understanding of how much of an idiot Trump truly is and that this man in NO WAY deserves to be president.
