Letter: Trump is a fraud
Donald Trump believes that his intuition and talent (as a businessman) is more valuable than experience in government.
He believes that his talent to defraud people, as alleged in lawsuits currently against him in the Trump University scandal, is something to behold in being a president. He believes that his talent to bankrupt his businesses in order to evade losing money, paying corporate taxes, repaying his debts, and people losing their livelihoods is how government should be run.
Trump believes that America should close itself off from the rest of the world with a wall on the Mexican border, a ban on all Muslims entering our democratic country, and walking away from all trade deals.
He has been called on many things that he has said, and his total ignorance of basic facts. The president of the United States of American has to know what he is talking about.
It is baffling the way the American people have embraced this fraud. Republicans are supporting him, not because they believe in him but because they just don’t want another Democrat to win. Putting someone who clearly has shown his ignorance in the presidency because of party politics is very dangerous for the future of this country.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg (although improper for her to say) said it best, “I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president.”
Please, someone, turn off this horrible TV reality show.
