The real deal on Donald Trump

A segment of Americans are angry and disgruntled about a lot of issues, and they’re fed up with the politically correct talk of most politicians. No doubt, Donald Trump has tapped into that. Even so, I would not vote for this man, because he would be an absolute disaster for the country. It's one thing to talk like a drunken bigot in a bar, but you don't want your president behaving like that.

Trump's campaign is a good indication of what kind of president this man would be. He is an arrogant, thin-skinned know it all. He reminds you of that spoiled brat whose parents indulged him. What’s more, he has insulted nearly every group you can think of. Every week it’s another insult. Most recently, he mocked a man with a disability. He has even insulted nearly every one of his Republican rivals. Every week or every day, he insults someone new.

The clues are obvious about this man's character, or lack thereof. As Americans, we should never, ever allow the rantings of a demagogue to lead us. America’s great presidents have demonstrated intelligence, character, wisdom, compassion, and sound judgment. I don’t see those qualities in Trump.

If Trump was president, in his mind, he would wave a wand, and POOF, ISIS would be wiped out on his first day in office. He would build a border fence and seal off America. He would tell China what to kiss. He would bomb Iran, and Putin would shake in his shoes. If Trump was president, it would be like Fantasyland. Incredibly, some Americans have bought into the con game.
