Quiet No More: Rethinking Trump Support

Rethinking Trump Support

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton had a phone interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in which she addressed the recent insults that Donald Trump has been propagating about the Clinton’s Foundation and other very ugly personal attacks on her over the media.

Trump has been very divisive and very negative, saying in a rally on Tuesday, “Clinton is a bigot”. Hillary responded by saying that none of what he is saying is factual. A lot of those hateful comments that are coming out of his mouth are stemming from the fact that recently he has been going down in the polls and by wanting to revive himself again. He is resorting to the only thing that has worked for him in the past: “HATE”.

Hillary has contended that he is the one that has been using hatefulness toward Hispanics, Muslims and African Americans especially, when he made the racist comments of deporting 11 million Hispanic illegals in the U.S., of which, some have been in this country for over 20 years with their American born children and families. He was also very negative about the Hispanic judge presiding over the Trump University court case and alleged he was not going to be fair because he was from Mexico.

Rethinking Trump SupportIn addition, another comments that followed were, “African Americans and Hispanics have nothing to lose”. He continued with hateful insinuations and he went as far as suggesting to supporters in the audience of the rally that immigrants should be deported. He followed by giving the audience several examples of choices as to how to proceed with deportation. This was all done as if it was a joke.

Well, Mr.Trump, African Americans and Hispanics have dignity and pride to lose. They have likes and dislikes. They also have rights! Rights that can not be taking away from them. Especially by someone who aspires to be a dictator that wants to rule over his supporters. Did you know that immigrants have human rights, too! Even though, some immigrants are here illegally, they still have rights. It is very simple! Their status is “human” and any candidate that runs for office in the U.S. must possess dignity and respect for this. We live in a democracy and we should have no tolerance for this type of authoritarianism.

Indeed, Trump has authoritarian tendencies and this is why he admires Russia’s President Putin. He admires him so much that he would love to be just like him. A senseless dictator that has no respect for women. However, In this country, We do not have the same values as in Putin’s country. In this country women have rights. Trump does not believe that women should have jobs, should get equal pay, should be pro choice and this is why he is constantly attacking Hillary Clinton, not based on facts of the campaign or policies or political ideas but, because he picks on innocent and vulnerable people. In other words, he’s a bully!

The United States has become like a third world country where suddenly a so called successful billionaire businessman thinks that he can do a hostile takeover. It really has come to this! Apparently, we are just bystanders!

Where are the people that are in charge of the Republican Party? Paul Ryan, what are you waiting for? The party of Lincoln is no longer. Now, it is the party of Trump! Someone needs to stop this takeover! If this continues, we are going to have serious problems. Worse problems than we have now. It seems like he is in a campaign to destroy America.

On the other hand, if we really care for this country, Hillary Clinton is a woman who has compassion and empathy. She is not going to do like Trump says he will do. She’s not going to deport anyone. On the contrary, if you’re illegal, then she wants to help you to apply for your residency or citizenship. She feels like breaking up a family is a terrible injustice and she wants no part of that, unlike Trump.

Hillary has been fighting as a public servant for decades. This is why running for president was the right thing to do. In this way she can help more people.

No Mr. Trump, we do not want you take over as though this was a business transaction. This is not a merger between you and the American people. You have no experience in governmental affairs at all and this is according to what you tell the American public on a daily basis. You claimed that you get your information from watching television.

And so, it is up to you, the American people, to make the right choice. But please promise that you will take a better look at Mr. Trump and see him for who he really is: a billionaire who has always had everything and who does not care to understand anything about fighting for human rights. A billionaire who needs a psychology social evaluation to, at least, exclude Schizophrenia out of this horrible equation.
