Donald Trump is a real danger to America

Donald Trump is a braggart, a blowhard and a buffoon. He talks out of both sides of his mouth about everything from a woman’s right to choose, to nuclear weapons, international relations and national finance. He is a con artist who has hoodwinked the Republican Party and is now their candidate for president of the United States. The Republican Party is stuck with him, but America is not. If this man becomes president through apathy in those who find the prospect abhorrent and those who are not taking this seriously, it will damage America for decades to come.
Donald Trump constantly brags about his “wealth.” True wealth is in living a good life and leaving a better world, not how much money and things you accumulate. Trump’s claims of personal wealth in the billions are a mile wide and an inch deep. They would quickly evaporate under the bright lights of press scrutiny. Why do you think he refuses to release his tax returns?
He is like a carnival barker who says, “Step right in, everyone’s a winner.” But once inside the tent, you find a shabby space with a con game going on. A flimflam scam designed to steal your vote and lead us into a house of horrors where America loses the respect and friendship of other nations.
George W. Bush was the worst president in the modern era. He caused more problems for the world than any other president including the financial crisis of 2008, the destabilization of the Middle East and the rise of terrorism that occurred after his invasion of Iraq. Donald Trump would be infinitely worse.
Trump’s naive “shoot from the hip and think about it later” approach to problems and his penchant to strike out when confronted, including the name calling and his childish histrionics will not work on the world stage. His passive-aggressive statements i.e., “I won’t call her a bimbo because that wouldn’t be nice, so I won’t say it” or “we think the judge may be a Mexican” are disgusting and infantile.
Trump thinks Vladimir Putin (a former KGB thug and murderer who as president is running the Russian economy into the ground to line both his pockets and those of his close associates) is a swell guy because he called him a genius (he did not). Putin will obviously be able to play Trump like a fiddle while causing trouble in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
He thinks that virtually any country that wants nuclear weapons should be able to have them. This would most certainly lead to terrorist groups obtaining nuclear material for a “dirty bomb” and could even cause a thermonuclear exchange between two nations. Welcome to the unthinkable.
He is willing to risk the financial stability of the entire planet by defaulting on the U.S. debt so “he can cut a better deal.” This would make the crash of 2008 look like child’s play.
The list goes on and on. I urge all Americans to think this through as a cold calculation. You may be rightly angry with your government’s seeming inability to do the right thing for the American people, but Trump is not the answer.
Trump is a dangerous foray into ignorance and bravado. He is a racist, a demagogue and a threat to everything America stands for in the world.
I urge you not to vote for Trump! He will be a disaster for America. If you cannot vote for Hillary, write in Big Bird or Donald Duck. Either would be better for America than Trump.
