    His very slogan, "Make America Great Again", is erroneous. Since I was born, the only country I have ever known to be the most powerful is America, and it never changed in the past 36 years. He doesn't need to specially "make" anything great "now"!!

    I'm quite certain Hillary will make that a "reality" within the year.

    He looks very sweet and cute, when he talks and sometimes he speaks out the things that we like to "hear", but not actually want to do it.

    Be aware!!!

    Initially I thought whatever Trump is speaking is the truth. But in reality, 70% of what he speaks is untrue. The 70% of the facts that he quotes are "false". He just speaks out randomly, in whichever way is convenient for him!!:omg:

    Even if I were in comma for the past 7 years, Trump becoming the President would only force me into a deeper comma for the next 4 years. I am saying next "4" years instead of next "8" years, because by then whoever voted for Trump would have realized their mistake.

    Ok, I was beginning to worry about the possibility that in the United States a plague of "antiTrumpism" was spreading its tremendous effects!

    It is not "anti-Trumpism", it is "struggle for survival". I am NOT anti-Trump. I love him, he is very cute, a great Businessman and a good human-being. But he just CANNOT be the President. That would be disastrous!

    Do you belong to a union?

    You really have not made a case for why Trump is not worthy of somebody's vote. Let me help you out here. I am left of the democratic party on a wide range of issues. I am also a realist. To me, Trump is less of a danger than Hillary Clinton. Clinton is a Wall Street lackey who will absolutely destroy small and medium sized businesses in the US. Now if she wants to tax Billionaires at 90% I would be like "You go girl" but that is not what she would do. She wants to "Improve" Obamacare which means that she will will place even more burden on small business owners than is already there. She will "free trade" away so many jobs that only trans-national businesses can afford to survive. She is a a real and present danger to the economy.

    Now do I like Trump--not really. But if I had to chose between protecting non-Wall Street business or protecting illegal lettuce pickers, I am going to go with those businesses, and that means I will vote for Trump over Hillary.

    Now, to make full disclosure, I voted yesterday and it wasn't for Hillary or Trump, so it isn't like I have any more say in the matter until November, so I am not exactly the person you are hoping to reach at this point anyway. Trump is the lesser of all the evils still in the hunt at this point. I am not saying for certain I will vote for him in November so much as I am certain there is zero chance I will vote for Hillary. So if you want to make a case against Trump you might want to come up with something a little more concrete than "70% of the facts" you deem wrong. What specifically is he lying about that matters to the people on the street?

    And you base this off of what...a lifelong string of success?

    He needed a slogan to get everyone's attention, especially low-information voters like you. Get ready for "President Trump!" :roflol:

    IOW, you have noticed that Trump is far more honest and truthful than professional politicians. ;-)

    In Italy there were similar concerns about Berlusconi [and the comparison Trump <> Berlusconi is very easy and licit, I would say]. Berlusconi has been a common Prime Minister [and he has governed for years and years, he has run 4 governments being the Italian who has been in the office of Prime Minister for the longest time] and the legacy he has left is not that tremendous.

    He had some problems about his image and his night habits ...

    You will see, Trump will be an odd President, but at the end, not that bad.

    Of course, Donald Trump is a successful businessman and a successful reality TV star. But Leading and Administering the most powerful country in the world, is an entirely different thing. It is not necessary that a person who is successful in one thing, should be successful in every other thing. Donald himself has many failed businesses. The interpretation that because he made his business successful, he would make the country successful, is not correct.

    You cannot succeed in business without (some) failure. This is axiomatic and part of the learning process for taking and dealing with risk. His failures were well controlled and did not sink his ship. The captain sails on and is doing well. I think he will make a fine President.
