Dump Trump

Stefano Bianchi, Staff Writer

 “The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.”

  These words were uttered by Donald Trump, the current GOP leader in the primary polls. Throughout Trump’s entire presidential run he has not held back any of his outdated views and opinions. Trump frequently demeans minorities, shows nothing but disrespect to other ‘competitor’ countries, and attacks all democratic candidates just on the basis that they are not Republicans.

For a man who is running for president, he shows little remorse for his words and actions against his Republican and Democratic competitors alike. Trump will constantly boost himself with something very defining as: criticizing his opponents based on their level of success or he will flat out attack them based on their gender. On April 16th, 2015 Trump tweeted “If Hillary [Clinton] can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?” further proving his disrespect towards Clinton as a candidate and as a woman.

The campaign for presidency has arguably become a giant popularity contest and is not taken as seriously as it should. The candidates’ views and plans are not always clear.  Donald Trump, being a successful billionaire, uses his money and fame to boost his run as president while disregarding the opinions of those around him.
