The Trump Appeal

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 the politically correct talk of most politicians. No doubt, Donald Trump has tapped into that anger with his attack dog rhetoric. 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 drunken bigot in a bar, but you don't want your president behaving like that.

Trump's campaign is a very good indication of what kind of president this man would be. He is an arrogant, thin-skinned, know it all. 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 recently mocked a man with a disability. A day ago, he talked about banning all Muslims from entering the country and putting mosques under surveillance. Not only are his comments reprehensible and unwise, but they could be a recruitment bonanza to ISIS.

The more people Trump insults, the likelihood increases the Republicans will face a landslide in the presidential election.

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, wisdom, discipline, 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, he would 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. He promises Fantasyland. But It’s all talk. That so many people have fallen for the hype is proof that reality TV has made Americans dumber..
