TRUMP’S APPEAL ©2015
A segment of Americans are angry. Really angry. They’re disgruntled about a immigration, ISIS, and they’re fed up with most politicians and their political correctness.
They want a presidential candidate who thinks like them and tells it like it is no matter who’s offended. No doubt, Donald Trump has tapped into that anger, and he has even pandered to it 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 this country. It's one thing to talk like that drunken bigot in a bar, but you certainly don't want the president of the United States behaving like that.
Presidents don’t follow and pander to the prejudices of voters; they lead. Trump may think of himself as unbiased, and unbiased, his rhetoric is envigorating white supremacist groups who are attributing new interest in their groups to Trump’s rhetoric.
Trump is seeking power by making impassioned appeals to the emotions and prejudices of voters. This is the very definition of a demagogue. Moreover, 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.
Even when he’s wrong, he thinks he’s right. He reminds you of the 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 insulted his only Republican female candidate. He mocked a man with a disability. JEB Bush has his issues, too, but he nailed it when he told Trump, “You’re not going to insult your way to the presidency.”
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but most Americans will not buy what he’s selling. Just recently, he talked about banning all Muslims from entering the country and putting mosques under surveillance.
When Time magazine named Germany’s Angela Merkel as Person of the Year, Trump attacked her. You see, it’s all about him. The more people Trump insults, the greater the likelihood the Republicans will face a landslide in the presidential election.
But it is the Republicans who created this social and political Frankenstein and the Frankenstein wannabe, Cruz. Republicans will pay a price during the presidential election for spewing so much division.
The clues are obvious about Trump’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 minds 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. Their support for Trump proof reality TV has made many Americans dumb and dumber.
But if you dislike Trump’s rhetoric, that appeals to the base emotions and prejudices of Americans, you can, in television parlance, cancel him with your VOTE!
