I believed that in the last year I labeled Donald Trump with every possible demeaning and accurate label, but now I can add another. Donald Trump lacks all moral character. FBI profilers claim that the one thing serial killers have in common is that they have no emotions; they feel no guilt, and no remorse. Trump has no concern for America’s people, and no guilt for using them for his own personal gain.
“Where was Donald Trump in the days and months and the years after 9/11? He didn’t stand at the pile, he didn’t lobby Congress for help, he didn’t fight for the first responders,” Congressman Joe Crowley noted. “Nope, he cashed in, collecting $150,000 in government funds intended to help small businesses recover — even though days after the attack Trump said his properties were not affected.”
Not only is this despicable, it brings forth a serious question; how much money does Trump actually have? $150,000 is “chump change” for a true billionaire. Whey won’t he reveal his tax returns? What is he attempting to hide?
Trump is among Republicans who claim that many Americans accept financial aid and food stamps although they have no need for them. How could he take money he didn’t deserve after the biggest attack on our nation’s shores in the history of our nation? Was he desperate for money to keep one of his questionable businesses operating?
With every passing day it becomes more obvious that Trump’s purpose for seeking the presidency is not related to “Making America Great Again.” He is seeking power and recognition. He has never made anything ‘great again;’ he is destructive, and he would destroy our nation.
Trump gifted Hillary Clinton’s campaign with enough revolting statements that there is no necessity to critique him; he demeans himself. He receives an equal amount of criticism from his own party as from Democrats. He has given Independents, such as myself, more than sufficient reasons to elect Hillary; and we will.
We Independents are now the majority. We are not required to vote for a party; we vote for the candidate.
Trump has proven to the American people that he has no compassion. His attacks on the Khan family are unforgivable, and no one else in our nation who has the attention of the public would have dared to attack survivors of a soldier killed in war. Hillary Clinton said it best when she said that we continue to witness Trump sink lower and lower, but he never finds the bottom.
If any American believes that Trump would be an acceptable president, they should find a new nation. Trump’s view of our government is not a democracy. If I ignore all of Trump’s many character flaws, the truth is that he does not have a single qualification which makes him eligible to live in the White House.
The media has failed to discuss the many important issues facing America; choosing to support Donald Trump. Now it’s time to become serious and send this caricature back to his golden tower.
