crazykanoiy – thank you for saying all things I would have had to weary my ancient fingers typing out. My beef is that
1) Trump is incompetent and inexperienced. He’s a television personality with no experience running a real business (licensing your name to somebody else’s hotel is not “experience.”). He has an ego, not a character. You can’t trust a word he says because tomorrow morning at 4 am he’ll tweet something different. So down the tubes go our trade policy, and the economic comeback we enjoyed until now. And good-bye to our position as “leader of the free world.”
2) He’s alienating everybody except Putin. Guess who used to be our worst enemy? The Soviet Union. And remember that Putin was KGB – an official Soviet Communist spy. And for the icing on the cake – the current idiom is to refer to the Republican states as “red” – the color of the Communist flag. Has the world been turned upside down?
3) He’s personally objectionable, in his private life and in his public communications. How does the rest of the world see us as making this questionable person our leader?
With someone like Rubio or Kasich as president, even though they’re Republicans too, the country would have continued its growth. Now?
