Donald Trump Is A Fool

I really wish Donald Trump would go away. He may be a real estate guru and a cunning businessman but he doesn’t know a goddamn about policy. His unhealthy obsession with China (“they took our jobs!”) is truly idiotic. The Fascists in China can be reliably counted on to screw their own economy well before they do any permanent harm to ours.

And while his blunt outspokenness has a refreshing quality to it coming as it does from a major U.S. office-seeker, coming out of him, Donald Trump, specifically just makes him sound bombastic, arrogant, and silly.

Lastly the maniacal obsession he has with Obama’s birth certificate is appalling. Might Obama have been born in Kenya? Yeah, sure, there’s an outside shot. I mean, it’s possible, doesn’t seem very likely, I take the people in the records office in Hawaii at their word. Might Obama have covered up his place of birth? I wouldn’t put it past him. But ultimately I don’t care. It’s a non issue. And even more it’s totally irrelevant because even if Obama was born in Kenya he is still a “Natural Born Citizen”! His mother was an American citizen who had established residency in the U.S.. That AUTOMATICALLY makes him a citizen as surely as if he was born in Grant’s Tomb. Or in other words every Citizen is Natural Born if and only if they were not a citizen at some point and to gain their citizenship had to go through the naturalization process. The fact that Trump can’t seem to come to terms with this is  more than a little off-putting.

Trump is a great businessman, a strong personality, a straight talker, and I know he is capable of running the country…. right in to the ground. Like I always say, just because a person is richer’ ‘en God, don’t mean ‘e ain’t dummer ‘en hell. You wanna be President, Donald? Well stop sounding like yourself and start sounding like a President.
