Like most people when Donald Trump began running for presidency, I did not take him seriously. I thought he was having his fun with us all. Then like most people again, I was shocked that he was leading the republican party and as things are going might even be the nominee for the party. I mean he is leading in polls despite the fact that everything he stands for offends everybody excepts his supporters. Who are either very racist or plain ignorant or both that they believe this is the man to make America great again. When you ask a Trump supporter, Why do you support Trump?, you are likely to receive answers such as, "He is the man to make our country great again or that he is not politically correct and says what they think". OK cool beans?.(FYI, What Americans refer to as being politically correct in most places is called being Polite and not offending people because they are different and not like you) A lot of things confuse me, maybe its because I am not American and I do not see or understand the intricacies of the matter whatever it is, but make America great again?, I think America is a pretty great country now and so do a lot of people except Trump supporters and Trump himself. It is easy to see that the man is a coward, plays into the fears of people and manipulates those fears, a sexist (I almost put the word pig here but decide that that would be an insult to pigs so sexist will have to do) and he absolutely does not respect women (Watch the video that Buzz feed put together about the way Trump addresses women versus Obama) and constantly refers to women as bimbos and reduces us to just our looks and nothing more. You don't believe me?, well check out his latest fight or "beef" with Ted Cruz, where he compared a side by side photo of Cruz's wife, Heidi and his wife. I thought it was progress not regression that is constantly preached because that what will happen if Trump becomes president.
I will admit, I follow Trump on twitter like I do most of the other presidential candidates and I can honestly say that this man should not be let loose on the American people and I got this just from reading the stuff this man tweets. Can you imagine Trump as president, this man child as the leader of the free world, I shudder to think what he will do in office. Oh, lest I forget, the Trump wall. The beautiful wall that this man proposes and the American Trump supporters have no qualms paying for but Obama care is a problem. Let's talk about how much building the wall is gong to cost the American people (Even Trump himself does not know this by the way, how do we expect this man to rule, I mean come on really), lets see how tall is this wall going to be again 30 feet, I think ,along the Mexican and US border, OK cool beans. Not accounting for the cost of labor, and materials used to build the wall which experts say will take at least four years to build, Trump estimates that it will cost 8 billion dollars, whew that is a lot of green. Experts however estimate that it would cost 10 billion to build,now I am no math expert but isn't that a lot of money. CNN has an amazing article you should check out on this, link here: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/17/politics/donald-trump-mexico-wall/
Ohh lets see, what else is wrong with Trump and he's campaign, I mean there are so many, i have to pick a good one lets seee. Oh yes, feeding into pre-existing fears that people have. This is one effective tool that he has used in his campaign and people are falling right in. Here is a scenario:
Trump: Muslims are bad
Trump supporter: OMG he like totally read my mind, no politically correct BS
Trump: The Mexicans bring over rapist and are taking your jobs
Trump supporters: Well he's the man, he knows it. He will make this country great again.
I want to think Trump supporters are people who can think for themselves but yeah nah, they don't really show that they can and it is quite sad. On this note I just want to say, VOTE BERNIE SANDERS YA'LL but NOT TRUMP, NEVER TRUMP.

| I'm so nice i even found a good picture of him Donald Trump |
To Answer my own question, Donald Trump is not the man America needs or will ever need to be honest. The country is at such a fragile stage of its existence especially as it concerns race relations and this man will only add more fuel to an already existing fire that is burning too hot already. Trump will divide this country that I feel is beautiful because of the diversity it has. But hey that's my opinion.
