I remember hearing about him in the '80s: a scuzzy, flashy real estate developer. Not a self-made man, he inherited the family business. (Shame on his parents for raising him so poorly.) He bankrupted people, got a crappy reality show, and got into politics as a "birther." So, he's basically a jerk. He makes money for himself, and to hell with everyone else. Is that who we want to run the country?
He is crass, shallow, and self-centered. In other words, a model Republican. He's okay with beating up immigrants, and in general attacking anyone who dares disagree with him as a loser. Plus, he can't afford a decent haircut (or he's just surrounded with yes-men who tell him he looks great.)
"Make America Great Again." Really? It's great now. What do you have against America? Why are you attacking America? Love it or leave it! But seriously, what is wrong with America? Is it better healthcare? Fewer wars? Lower unemployment? Lower deficits? Or is it the black guy in office, and all those damned women and immigrants? Sorry, but the "stay off my lawn" crotchety old men are fading out. The country is getting better and stronger, through diversity and tolerance among other things. I know 'tolerance' is a dirty word to conservatives, but it's better for our country.
His supporters call him strong, and honest. I don't see bullying as a sign of strength. As for honesty, he's a liar, and "saying what you think" is admirable in general, but when what you think is that you are an amazing person and everyone else is just weak, well, he could use a little more "keep it to yourself."
