-- cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and the Department of Education
-- trade policies against China and Mexico that are literally contradictory
-- attacks on the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments
-- claims inner cities are cesspools of violence and poverty but then takes a pro-gun stance while cutting welfare and not increasing the minimum wage
-- didn't know Russia was in Ukraine
-- wants more nuclear weapons in the world, including allies like Japan and attacking the Iran deal
-- yes, he was for the Iraq War and Libya invasion
-- says global warming is a Chinese hoax and wants to gut the EPA
-- his idea of diplomacy was to visit Mexico, answer two questions, lie to both, then leave
-- and the stupid fucking wall.
And he lies. All the time. About EVERYTHING. Say what you want about Clinton's behavior, she's usually protecting her ass. Trump makes shit up like 42% unemployment and crime is at a historical high, when those things are easily disproven. He lies about things he's said in front of 100 million people an hour ago.
And he's a failure of a businessman. He lost another property Monday, he lost nearly a billion dollars multiple times including last year, doesn't pay people who worked for him, hires illegal immigrants, doesn't pay them, they sue him and win, and he's due in court for Trump University fraud. He laughed about profiting off the housing collapse, he laughed about profiting off Brexit, and he loaned his own campaign money at prime plus five percent while quintupling the rent he charged his campaign. Meanwhile his Foundation crumbles to dust, he owes hundreds of millions of dollars to each of China and Russia, and has more bankruptcies than children.
He was a horrible, horrible candidate in many ways, even before he grabbed his campaign by the pussy.
