Donald Trump

He's racist, sexist, manipulated thousands of people, his skin tone is orange, he had documents in his possession that was illegal for him to have, he was impeached, he is a criminal, building a wall will not help, he got ideas for his campaign from a conspiracy theorist, and he undid helpful things Obama put into place.

Donald Trump was an instigator. Although he was good at forcing his way on most things, everything he seemed to do instigated someone. He may have “kept” peace but it was also a means to cover up the bad things he was doing on the side.

He doesn't care about working people. When he came to Michigan to speak to union workers, he went to a non-union factory to talk about his issues with the UAW to non-union workers. While his opponent is flawed and not the perfect advocate for working people, he was the first sitting President to stand at the picket line against corporations mistreating workers while also implementing labour rulings to protect workers trying to unionize by penalizing companies trying to stop a union election.

Trump has had a history of making insulting comments about women and people of color. When asked about his previous comments, he doubles down. He has also made deplorable comments about other minority groups such as members of the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants. Examples are when he said, "laziness is a trait blacks," in 1999. A more recent example is from 2015 when he said, "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume…  Read more, are good people." His policies during his presidency did not respect minority rights which are granted to United States citizens under the Constitution in Article V. His campaign and presidency led to an increase in hate crimes. In 2014, "Law enforcement agencies submitted incident reports involving 5,479 and 6,418 offenses as being motivated by bias toward race, gender, gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and ethnicity." From 2016 to 2019, these numbers have increased to the 7,000s and 8,000s. These numbers can be found at fbi.gov. While correlation does not equal causation, Trump was and is a very prominent person. He had and has a large influence on citizens of the U.S.; if the leader of our nation thinks it is okay to diminish minorities, then it must be okay for us to as well. I cannot support a person who can only keep power by putting others down.

He will re implement his racism Muslim ban, is going to try and control the entire country and become essentially try to become a defacto dictator, attack the lgbt community and make it harder for those who actually need abortions to get it, call for attacks on his political rivals and those who don’t agree with his ideas, create more conflict rather than peace.

The drug issue we have is directly related to the criminalization of drug use. It should be treated as a mental health issue than a criminal issue. Open borders with Mexico and Canada increase tourism and free flow of individuals to assist in boosting revenue for border states.
