Negative Debate: Trump v. Clinton

Hello! As promised, I will expand upon my main arguments this round. I will respond to your arguments in the next round. 1: Racism Mr. Trump has shown throughout his career and campaign that he has no qualms about discriminating against other races. The evidence is quite extensive. Here it is. In the 1970's, when Trump was president of the real estate firm owned by him and his father, allegations arose that he was systematically discriminating against black people. According to the New York Times, "A former building superintendent working for the Trumps explained that he was told to code any application by a black person with the letter C, for colored, apparently so the office would know to reject it." When Nixon's Justice Department sued Donald and his father for discrimination, they found some very revealing evidence. "To prove the discrimination, blacks were repeatedly dispatched as testers to Trump apartment buildings to inquire about vacancies, and white testers were sent soon after. Repeatedly, the black person was told that nothing was available, while the white tester was shown apartments for immediate rental." (http://www.nytimes.com...) Do we really want a president who systematically discriminates him just because of their skin color? I cannot stress enough the seriousness of this. It's chilling, quite frankly. From "Trumped!: The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump--His Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall" by John O'Donnell: "'I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza--black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else...Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.'" How much more obvious can it get? The man is blatantly racist! And he told the Washington Post, "I'm the least racist person you've ever encountered." Read these two articles for other examples of Trump's racism. http://www.nytimes.com... https://www.washingtonpost.com... Next comes Donald Trump's reluctance to disavow KKK leader David Duke after the latter's endorsement of Mr. Trump. He dodged questions for a while, claiming he had never heard of David Duke, and eventually rejected the endorsement. The Trump campaign also retweeted the infamous "Star of David" image taken from a neo-Nazi/anti-Semitic website. The evidence is irrefutable. Sure, Hillary and Bill de Blasio made an awkward joke that they probably shouldn't have said. But this one incident pales in comparison to all of the evidence for Mr. Trump's overt, extreme, and disgusting racism. A man like this should not--and cannot be allowed to--become president. 2. Sexism Mr. Trump has objectified women for decades. He has been married three times and is currently married to a former supermodel. What does this tell you about his views on women? He even went so far as to say, "Women: You have to treat 'em like [poop]." [1] (He said something much more vulgar than that, but the site won't let me post it.) As with the racism, how can you claim that he is not sexist? How is this not immediately disqualifying? The fact that someone like this is the nominee for a major political party is both astounding and terrifying. He has also said that he would probably be dating his daughter Ivanka if they weren't related. He was in his sixties at the time and she in her twenties. How creepy is that? Of Carly Fiorina, he said, "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?" It is no secret that Mr. Trump judges women solely on their looks rather than on their intellect or personality. How can you logically support someone who holds half of the world's population in contempt? 3. Lack of Knowledge and Experience Mr. Trump has had no political experience. If put in office, he would be woefully unprepared to run the country. He holds the Constitution in contempt. He shows this when he suggests blatantly unconstitutional measures such as killing the families of suspected terrorists and reinstating torture. According to a Washington Post editorial, Mr. Trump once said, "I am going to abide by the Constitution whether it’s number 1, number 2, number 12, number 9." There are seven articles in the Constitution, the article points out. (https://www.washingtonpost.com...)1. http://www.politico.com...
