Politics and All That Stuff- Part 1

          I have some very set opinions about politics, so before I go on a roast fest if you get easily butthurt about that stuff or are a fan of annoying hapless bloggers who do this because we get graded on it weekly, please click away right now.

          Today we will be focused on Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, which is a far more grand and signifigant title than he deserves. And there's a couple issues I have with him that I will be discussing in the following paragraphs.
  1. Racism: This guy sure knows how to make people mad. First of all, he calls all Mexican illegal immigrants rapists and murderers. While there may be some rapists and murderers among the population of Mexican illegals, it's not even close to a majority. I get that there are a lot more Mexican illegals than any other race, but he targetted specifically Mexicans out of all the others, therefore making him a racist. He also said he was going to kick out not only all of the millions of illegal immigrants, but their children too, which is unconstitutional seeing as the children of illegals are protected by the 14th amendment. And what's all this "Great Wall of America" stuff, anyways? Building a wall stretching 1,933 miles could take billions of dollars. And where's he going to get that type of money? His own wallet? I doubt it. More likely our taxes will be raised to cover the cost, therefore making a large part of his campaign about lowering taxes irrelevant and hypocritical. And what makes him think a giant wall will keep out illegal immigrants anyways? Even if he was to build a giant wall, immigrants could just sail around via the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. 
  2. "I'm the real deal": WEEEOOOOEEEEOOOEEEEOOO! Hear that? That's the sound of someone who has no political skills! Trump claims he isn't a politician, since the word politician in America gives off a bad light. But his "realness" gives way to disrespect to his fellow candidates via Twitter. Now imagine this guy was president. Would you like him to be walking around the United Nations headquarters, insulting all the leaders of the world? If his insults got really bad, it could end up with longtime allies now being enemies, the United Nations being disbanded, maybe even a repeat of the Cold War with Russia (Vladimir Putin is agressive enough without Donald Trump insulting him in front of his entire country). His slogan is "Make America great again", but I think he would make America far, far worse.
       Overall, I frankly don't understand why this guy is even running for prez. But yet he has the vote of the majority of Americans. They believe he'll uphold their freedoms, and he will: for the 1% of the population he actually cares about, the rich. Especially since he is part of that percentage. These people treat the presidential campaign like a game of war, and Trump's winning. The reason why is because Trump tells the Americans what they want to hear. Sadly, a great number of Americans are still intolerant of people who aren't white, Christian, blue eyes/blonde hair, straight and male. Trump preaches to their unlawful desires for our country, and they listen. And this is the guy who is going to be inevitably elected for president.

  1. Great post, but hopefully your last sentence does not turn out to be true. Trump's candidacy should be mobilizing all who oppose him and what he stands for to do anything they legally can to make sure he is not the President Elect, including getting out and voting!!!

    1. I agree, and many will, But seeing as there's so few voters these days, and a good majority of the American population like Trump, it's going to be a hard struggle.
