THE TRUMP APPEAL
By Samuel K
The Black Silent Majority
A segment of Americans are really angry and disgruntled about a lot of issues. They’re fed up with most politicians who have accepted illegal immigration as a new normal and are too politically correct to tell it like it is. No doubt, Donald Trump has tapped into that anger with his attack dog rhetoric. Trump has been saying what many people are already thinking.
Even so, I would not vote for this man. He would be an absolute disaster for the country. It's one thing to talk like a drunk bigot in a bar, but you certainly don't want your president behaving like that.
Trump's campaign is a very good indication of what kind of president he would be. He is an arrogant, thin-skinned, know it all. If when he’s wrong, he thinks he’s right. He reminds you of that spoiled brat whose parents never reined him in.
What’s more, he has insulted nearly every group you can think of. Every week, it’s another insult. He insulted nearly every Republican presidential hopeful. He insulted media moderators. He mocked a man with a disability. A few days ago, he talked about banning all Muslims from entering the country and putting mosques under surveillance. That kind of inflammatory language has him at odds with nearly a billion people abroad. World leaders have condemned him as well as leader in his own country.
Not only are his comments reprehensible and unwise, but they are recruitment bait for ISIS. The more people Trump insults, the likelihood increases the Republicans will face a landslide in the presidential election. But it is they who helped to create this Frankenstein.
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, self-control, wisdom, and sound judgment. I don’t see those qualities in Trump.
If Trump was president, in his mind, and in the mind of his supporters, all he would have to do is 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 at the thought of dealing with him. Unfortunately, there’s a difference between actual reality and reality TV. Trump promises Fantasyland.
But It’s all talk. His supporters have fallen for the hype. It is convincing proof reality TV has made many Americans dumb and dumber.
