Donald Trump is certainly qualified to be a reality TV star. He has lots of experience doing that.
But president of the United States? It’s not even close!
Trump has never held any kind of governmental office. He has never been a:
• School Board Member
• City Councilperson
• Mayor
• Judge
• State Representative
• State Senator
• Governor
• U.S. Representative
• U.S. Senator
Yet the arrogant, egotistical, man-child Trump believes he’s qualified to be president of the United States. Imagine this, this is a man who has never held office, and he believes he’s qualified for the highest office in the nation--president.
Not only does Trump lack the qualifications to be president, he also lacks the temperament. This is a man-child who responds like a spoiled child whenever he’s criticized or when something is said about him that’s not flattering.
Mature adults have self-control, and they don’t lash out every time something is said that they don’t like. But Trump is used to working in his own company, his own little bubble, where people kiss his feet and tell him what he wants to hear. That environment is not the real world.
Just recently, Trump came unhinged for the umpteenth time when he publicly criticized a judge who made a decision he disagreed with. He criticized the media for questioning his contributions to veterans organizations. This is a pattern with this man-child, who obviously has a thin skin. This is not the temperament of person who’s qualified to be president.
In a recent Vanity Fair article, Michael Kinsley wrote, “Trump is just the latest among a series of business types who think they should run the country because they ran a company. Remember Ross Perot? This year there are two, the other being Carly Fiorina, who ran Hewlett-Packard—ran it into the ground.
“Businesspeople are an odd category of citizen to look to as a populist deus ex machina. True, they usually have some practical business sense and experience, which is not worthless.
But their lives are different from those of people who are hurting, and increasingly so. (So are the lives of Washington journalists, but at least we are free to admit it.) Trump's business experience has been in real estate, professional celebrity, gambling casinos, and creative bankruptcy—not the kind of experience that is likely to be useful as president.”
The very fact this man-child has been taken seriously is one of the greatest scams in American history. You can attribute Trump’s popularity to reality TV and his appeal to people’s bigotry.
Fortunately, this nation has more rational people than irrational people, and if they get out and vote, the Trump Show will be cancelled.
