Who should be the next POTUS???Donald Trump(PRO).......Hillary Clinton(CON)

Thanks pro for debating with me! Introduction: My case will be presented in a similar format as the pro's case was. However, there are a few differences in my argument types. First off all, I will address 2 advantages of Hillary Clinton in which I compare to Trump. The next two contentions are criticisms of Trump which are basically philosophical dis-ads. And finally, the last 4 contentions are pure dis-ads of Trump. I'll use the same citation format as the pro. First, I'll argue the advantages of a Clinton presidency. Contention 1: Qualification It is not an incorrect thing to say that Hillary Clinton is overqualified to be POTUS. [1] Her qualifications include being Senior Class President of Wellesley College, graduating with honors from Yale Law School, completing yet another year of graduate studies at yale, named one of the 100 most powerful lawyers in America by the National Law Journal in 1988 and 1991, served 8 years as First Lady of the US, served 8 years as First Lady of Arkansas, served as US Senator from New York and served as US Secretary of State. These accomplishments only begin to scratch the dusty surface of why Hillary Clinton is qualified to be the POTUS. She's been in several positions that require skills that the president needs on a day to day basis. [5] McDonald and Erickson indicate that Hillary is overqualified. [6] Also, this gives Hillary a dynastic advantage to becoming presiden over Trump. On the other hand, Donald Trump is highly unqualified for a few reasons: 1.) He's never held a state positions such as senator/representative/governor. 2.) He doesn't pronounce the names of a ton of countries correctly, proving his ignorance towards other cultures. 3.) This lack of knowledge is even extended further with his apparent ignorance towards most of history, science and government, making him a terrible choice for POTUS. 4.) Successful business man often struggle with positions of politics because they're no longer the boss. [4] They must split power with the legislative and judicial branch. This argument is super important because we only hear what Trump says he'll do- His terrible qualifications show that his plans are probably not though out that great and he wouldn't do well in the seat. This contention alone is why you vote con. Presidents with specialized skills can make more meaningful contributions than their peers who are less endowed academically. That's from Kweronda. [4] Contention 2: LGBT Hillary has shown comprehensive support for the LGBT community while Trump has done very minimal work. Not only does he oppose same-sex marriages, but he has delegated some transgender legislation to the states which is comparatively worse. [7] State action does not solve because there are at least 28 states participating in anti-lgbt legislature. [8] Trump's legislature would perpetuate homophobia-there are just too many impacts on the homosexual community: 1.) Shorter life expectancy 2.) More likely to be victims of violence 3.) Higher risk 4.) Higher suicide rates 5.) More likely to suffer from mental illness 6.) More likely to abuse substances 7.) Inability to establish long-term relationships Now, I will discuss some major criticisms of Trump. Contention 3: Ableism [13] Trump's action towards disabled people is absolutely horrifying and is exemplified by his reenactment of Serge Kovaleski's disability. [9] First, we should reject the idea that Trump's idea disability makes people different to create the starting point for a sense of open to diverse body relations. There are multiple impacts: 1.) The silencing of disabled voices and violence against disabled persons 2.) Continued ableist assumptions in the academic space destroys education 3.) Ableism supports neoliberal institutions that use disabled individuals as huge sources of income Argument framing: [14] Evaluate Trump's ableist rhetoric before weighing any advantages that the pro presents-ableism stems from rhetoric and is a learned behavior. Only Clinton's lack of ableist behavior would have any chance to avoid the aforementioned impacts and improve the condition of the disabled. Contention 4: Securitization 15][16] Trump's focusing on the Chinese currency manipulation 'threat' ignores US seigniorage privilege - such privilege favors US structural power in the global economic system. Such threats normalize US structural power. This completely turns the pro's case for a few reasons: 1.) [17] The 'China threat' created by Trump's discourse causes the deterioration of US-Sino relations that Trump fears through a paradigm of painting China as a threat 2.) [16] Western realism causes aggression that escalates to war 3.) [17] American leaders historically use China representations to create fear as a political tool- Trump doesn't solve engagement with China. [17] Framing: Voters, evaluate this argument before evaluating the pro's case- Trump's language will eventually shape reality. If we paint China as a threat, then they will become a threat. Don't let Trump's dangerous rhetoric into the office and shape China into the threat that we don't want them to become. Finally, I will argue some major disadvantages or a Trump presidency. Contention 5: Economy First, Trump will cause the worst recession in history. Trump claims that "I've borrowed knowing that you can pay back with discounts... I would borrow knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal." This policy would be incredibly disastrous. What's worse- Trump's promise to deport undocumented immigrants. Forcibly removing them would leave an estimated $381.5-$623.2 hole in the U.S. economy. Also, banning all Muslims would cost the U.S. around $24 billion a year. Trump's policies would undoubtedly throw the US into a terrible recession. All of that's [18] [19] Not only would Trump throw us into a major recession, but it could be even worse than the Great Depression. Contention 6: US Hegemony Do you hear all of that rhetoric about Trump making America great again? Well, that's only a strategy by Trump to hide what the real implications of his plans are. Trump's immigration policy hurts US leadership by a LOT. This kind of immigration policy could cause collateral damage to the American image. "What's the American brand after we've rounded up 11 million people and sent them packing?" [20] All of that is Stewart in 2016. Contention 7: Russia War The relationship between the US and Russia is complex and multifaceted. Clinton would operate in this already existing relationship but Trump would seek to upend it. This creates the possibility for huge divergences. Trump's presidency would convince Putin to operate within the US-led world order. Clinton has familiarity with many of the major European and Russian players because of her time in office as secretary of state. Trump would offer the most significant deviation in 70 years! His is just about placed in a category by himself among American politicians. There is the possibility that Putin and Trump would find themselves at odds. That's all Parakilas in 2016[20] Contention 8: Climate Trump's complete rejection of climate change would be terrible news for the climate. His effect is underestimated. He's even called global warming a hoax. Do we really want a man like Trump in office who doesn't accept one of the most widely accepted ongoing phenomenon? Mr. Trump has discussed doing away with many of Obama's integral climate programs such as the Clean Power Plan. Trump would make reckless attacks on our progress towards achieving a greener future. That's all NY Times [21] I want to again thank the pro for agreeing to debate with me, this constructive has been a hell lot of fun to write and I look forward to the rebuttals!
