Throughout the country there have been multiple debates on
whether or not Donald Trump should be elected as the next president of the
United States. I’m here to tell you he’s going to ruin America if that happens.
Although I could list 100 reasons why Donald Trump shouldn’t be president, I
have narrowed it down to 4 main reasons.
The first reason why Trump isn’t suitable to be POTUS Is
that he is extremely impulsive. For example, people believe Trump is a great business
man but in reality he has filed for bankruptcy multiple times. One of the main
causes for him going bankrupt is because of his poor and impulsive financial
decisions. How can Americans be confident in someone who can’t even handle their
own money when we as a nation are 19 trillion dollars in debt? Another example
of Trump’s impulsive behavior is that he is unable and unwilling to control
what he says. When you’re the president of the United States, your words hold
so much more weight than the average person. As the president you have the
ability to do things like declaring war on another country with your words
alone. When Obama spoke out about his personal feelings on the Trayvon Martin
homicide, some people took offense and accused his comment of being thoughtless
and dry. If someone like Obama can be so harshly criticized based on his words,
imagine the damage Donald Trump could do with his.
So far, Trump has proven that he is a bona fide racist. Not
only has he recently made offensive comments about African Americans and
Latinos, the Trump Management Corporation was sued multiple times for alleged
racial discrimination in the workplace. According to the Huffington Post, the
lawsuit claimed that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions
to black rental candidates than it did to white rental candidates.
Not only does Trump discriminate people for their race, he
is vindictive. This is a man who literally titled a chapter in his book,
“Revenge”. This chapter was about making things even with anyone who crosses
you. Trump proves that he believes in revenge because he truly can never let
things go. He rants on Twitter for months at a time about people who have
offended him. Trump’s Twitter feed is exceedingly inappropriate and offensive
with foul language and personal, irrelevant tweets.
Lastly, Trump is not only a threat to the Democratic Party,
but to every U.S. citizen. Trump’s attitude towards nuclear bombs is very
nonchalant and laid back which is why he refused to rule out using nuclear
weapons against ISIS. According to USA Today, Trump made it clear that he didn’t
mind if Japan and South Korea went nuclear.
Although Donald Trump is being credited with the charismatic
title of the “Do Something About It” type of guy, he is nothing but a threat to
the safety of the United States. People need to realize that even though they
see him as an attractive candidate because of all his heavy promises, he is entirely
unfit to be sitting in the Oval Office.
The original editorial posted by my fellow classmate was nothing short of a thorough and well developed argument. In this editorial, the author discussed many issues that have come to surface with our Republican Presidential nominee. Donald Trump, as stated in my editorial, is a man who has stirred up a lot of controversy over several issues. In this editorial, these issues are discussed in a thorough manner, using sources to back up the argument. A great point made by the author was Trump's impulsiveness which is has been obviously seen in the duration of his campaign. A great point was made in comparing Trump's finances to the finances of this nation. This nation is in major debt, and if Trump can not seem to handle his own expenses, what makes one think that he could be in charge of the entire nation's finances? The second point made by the author that is crucial in why Trump should not be president is that he is a racist. At this time and age,there is no reason for a president to be racist. It is insulting to a large portion of people making up the American population. Overall, I really enjoyed this editorial and recommend it to be read by everyone because it really highlights the issues with Donald Trump as a presidential candidate.
ReplyDeleteOn June 20th, 2016, one of my fellow classmates, Karlie Fitzsimmons, put up an entry titled Blog Stage Five: Don't Vote for Trump on her blog the Youth of Our Government. Fizsimmons argues that Trump is ultimately up to no good for America, that he is only an impulsive, vindictive racist man. Although it seemed like her argument was very biased as she only criticized Trump and failed to mention the flaws of Clinton as well, her argument was very convincing through the way she organized and supported her claims. By adding a rhetorical question "How can Americans be confident in someone who can’t even handle their own money when we as a nation are 19 trillion dollars in debt?" she even made me question whether Trump is really fit for the office. In addition her use of other sources from USA Today, Huffington post, and even Trumps own book, has made her appear as a knowledgeable individual who knows quiet a bit about Trump. Reading her blog, I've put together that Trump is a threat to every U.S Citizen, the Democratic party, our economy, our relations to other countries, and to other races in even our country.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think she could have mentioned why Clinton is a better candidate by comparing Clinton directly with Trump to strengthen her argument, and to convince even some Trump followers to re-evaluate both Trump and Clinton, I find that her argument was more than sufficient enough in expressing Fitzsimmon's thoughts.
