I implore anyone seriously thinking of voting for or commenting positively on Donald Trump to watch him in his own words.
Here is my impression of Mr. Trump, who of course I've already been familiar with for many years:
1) What is Trump passionate about except his own ego and money ?
2) Put aside the showboat sparring with other politicians, over personal squabbles for show, and very little remains.
3) Is it not distasteful to brag so much about how rich you are ?
4) Donald Trump inherited a real esate company from his father which was worth a half billion dollars many years ago. There is nothing exceptional
about his performance with that company. He did (4 times) bring parts of it public to suck in speculators and left them with bankrupt, worthless shares.
5) Trump is purposely tailoring his campaign to be the focus of attention on non-issues and personal squabbles because he knows the American media and populace is enthralled with petty sparring, like a wrestling match.
6) Trump here argues for a weak dollar, but a simple websearch reveals many comments in the past about how much the weak dollar helped him amass his fortune, quite simply, low dollar = high real estate. This is a self-serving position.
7) A weak dollar impoverishes those who do not have great number of dollars and who work for a paycheck, because their buying power is diluted. A weak dollar encourages foreign and multi-national purchase of American assets. It encourages immigration and foreign ownership of American properties, but does not encourage American ownership of foreign properties because the buying power is reduced.
The weak dollar is a tool of the .0001% to continue widening inequality.
8) Trump appeases the veterans by mollifying them, and encouraging military participation, yet he doesn't have much to say about a wise use of the military.
He is an opportunist buyer of politicians - by his own admission - what would be his criteria for military intervention ? It seems to be a low one that is dangerous.
He views military service as something for the little people to do, like cleaning toilets.
9) Trump makes a big deal about how he cannot be bought, however the real reason for this is that he is a buyer. He doesn't have to be bought, but that is because he
is already one of them. Some men never sell out because they never had anything to sell in the first place. He's already on the team, so to speak.
10) Trump seeks one-liner quips of intellectual reductionism to grab headlines and make for entertaining tv, but don't make any real changes. He's not bringing anything new to the voter for the voter's benefit or well-being.
11) His rhetoric is empty charisma. He's a perverse mutation of gluttonous monetarism and patriotic populism that seeks to mislead the 99.99% that they can "get ahead" by rubber-stamping the policies of the .0001%, when the truth is that the .0001% must be reigned in because they have unjustly been allowed to become the ruling class. Is America not about more than wealth worship ?
12) Trump was an ideological tiddlywink who spent his entire adult life doing nothing but accumulating wealth, hopping from wife to wife, seeking accolades as a business
icon while stealing money from shareholders and making large contributions to other politicians, regardless of their ideologies, just because they are in power. This suggests strongly that his moral compass revolves around money and power only, not deep-seated convictions, and certainly not any selfless concerns about the larger world or larger society. He is a man looking at the world every day saying, "What can I get from you today", not, "What can I do to make you better today".
