Anti-Trump

Jacob Adams, Staff Writer

Donald Trump is an extremely wealthy and well known man. He is worth about 4 billion dollars and is 405th on the Forbes list. But is he fit to be president? I think not. Three things about Trump stick out to me that show why he isn’t fit to be President of the United States of America.

Here are his positions on important issues; current issues.  While I think he isn’t fit to lead our nation for many more reasons, these three are the most prominent.

  1. He wants to cut spending for the Department of Education.

While talking about the Department of Education, he said, “You could cut that way, way, way down.” He also said at the Donald Trump Press Conference that he was upset with how America scored in education compared to other nations throughout the world. How can he boost results with “way, way ,way” less funding?

  1. He believes climate change to be a hoax.

If someone does not believe in climate change for a legitimate reason, I can accept that. But Trump’s defense behind his reason is complete nonsense. He even tweeted this: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” This quote, as far as I can tell, has no legitimacy whatsoever. He even quotes and uses evidence from a source that has admitted they were wrong! Now you might be asking yourself, what does this have to do with being President? The small things, like trusting inaccurate sources and stating complete lies, are what define Trump. Is this really the type of guy you want to be running this nation?

  1. And finally, the most stupid thing he has ever said: He wants to force the country of Mexico to build a wall along the U.S.- Mexico border.

What he said after that on CNN’s State of the Union, is even worse: “you force them [to build the wall] because we give them a fortune. Mexico makes a fortune because of us. A wall is a tiny little peanut compared to that. I would do something very severe unless they contributed or gave us the money to build the wall.” This is incredibly wrong and unjust. I do not want this sick person as my President.

Donald Trump is a very messed up man. I do not, and will never, want him as the leader of this great nation.
