RE: Why do people hate Donald Trump? - British guy asking for help.
I think the racist card comes into play because of wording, and that's a strong thing. You wouldn't ever see him say that the english are a threat because there are some good and some bad, right? That could be said for anyone, so why single out Mexicans? There are people immigrating to America from everywhere. For that reason, I find it hard not to say there's some racism.
Women? Maybe he is misogynistic, maybe he's not, but as a celebrity even, let alone the POTUSA ya gotta watch your words once again. Anything you've ever said can come back to bite you.
As for Islamophobic, I can't say I know enough details, but the way he has implemented a massive exodus for immigrants in general who were seeking refugee in the states, I think his policy is ridiculous. I'm not even American, but if our government had done the same I would be outraged. He's sending people out of the country who have built their lives there for a decade.
He just seems like a bit of a clown to me. Again, I don't live there and it doesn't concern me too much, but we are in pretty close proximity for him to compare the size of buttons with an unpredictable guy in North Korea for my liking.
That's the reason I'm not a major fan.
Plus, business man as he might believe he is, how does that make him an authority on the economy when he's claimed bankruptcy 4 times?
I'm actually pretty ignorant on all the details myself, not being an American, but looks pretty clear from where I stand...
I'd love to hear something that would make me feel differently. Please comment.
Hey man.
I understand what you’re saying and you made some valid points but their is a couple things I’d like to reply too.
You’re point on singling out Mexicans, I think that is just because they share a large border with Mexico and so illegal immigration is a problem mostly just from Mexico. The statistics on the amount of people arrested in America, and when they are processed their is no record of them because they’ve illegally crossed the border, is probably why he has identified Mexican immigrants in this instance.
Being careful what you say is of course important, but this comment he made about women was over 10 years ago I think it was, and he was secretly recorded having a “guy” chat. It’s hard to watch what you say all the time I guess.
Yeah I read about the “dreamers” thing and well, it is a horrible policy of his to remove it. He has since came out and said they are working on a solution which hopefully is done.
As for the bankruptcy thing, it’s a tactical thing done to avoid paying taxes. It’s in bad taste but it is incredibly common for billionaires to declare a business bankrupt than fixing it and having its debt written off. He’s never not had money, he just did what billionaires do all the time unfortunately.
I’m not a fan of him myself but I called a book a book which got me to write this blog. He sounds....incredibly unintelligent for a billionaire and president.
Hey Darren,
I completely agree with most everything you said. I think that you're 100% right about the Mexican thing, but as a leader (of the so called "free world") again, I think it's important to choose your words carefully. As much as he may think Mexico is their major concern, unless it's his only concern, everyone should be grouped together. Another instance that I can think of and didn't mention is his comments after the KKK rallies.
I can also agree with the female comments and it being hard to watch what you say all the time, especially before you're in power. But once becoming the POTUSA you have to imagine that anything you've ever said may come back to haunt you. I understand where you're coming from, but if I were a female American, it probably wouldn't sit too well with me.
I also understand the bankruptcy thing. I get it's a strategic move and he himself was never bankrupt and out of money. But for someone who is now in charge of the government which is asking for taxes from everyone, rich or poor, it seems like a pretty sleaze ball move and i find it hard to see why anyone would want him running their country.
I don't claim to be a smart guy myself, but totally agree with the fact that he doesn't seem overly intelligent in general let alone for a billionaire (probably because he didn't make the money himself and inherited it) or a president.
Appreciate the response, and I guess we'll have to agree to kind of disagree haha.
