Donald Trump should be president

Rest easy, harrytruman, I'm getting to that. Within my framing of the debate, I made special note that "*Counterplans [may] be used by Con*" (sorry for the typo) therefore, I was setting up the grounds for why Johnson should be president, my counterplan. (Also, only one of the two can be elected, therefore if Johnson should be president, Trump should not, so it most definitely falls under this resolution.) I'll start by attacking my opponent's constructive. It essentially lists all other major contenders and a short synopsis of why they are unqualified to lead our nation. I'll it down really quickly. Clinton- I agree, Clinton is not the best potential leader of our country (I still find her superior to Trump, but that's irrelevant, as this has evolved into a Trump-Johnson debate) Sanders- Not a communist, seeks a middle ground when it comes to gun legislation. Sanders supports a ban of assault weapons, looks to close the gunshow loophole, and is in favor of instant background checks for mentally ill and felons to keep such individuals from acquiring guns [1] (Trump also supports more background checks [2]). In this case also, I'm not Feelin' the Bern, but would rather have a socialist government under Sanders than an authoritarian one under Trump. Stein- If being a doctor disqualifies her as she is not of the political class, this should disqualify Trump as well. If not believing in the Constitution disqualifies her, it should disqualify Trump as well. Trump has acted or made comments that conflict with the 1st Amendment via free speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of protest "After a fight erupted between protesters and police last year in Birmingham, Trump said: ""Maybe he should have been roughed up." Of a protester in Nevada last month, Trump said: "I"d like to punch him in the face." In Kentucky, he said: "Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do I"ll defend you in court. " Are Trump rallies the most fun? We"re having a good time." [6] [3] [4], 5th Amendment [3], and 14th Amendment [3] [5]. In the Meet the Press interview, it is made painfully obvious that Trump doesn't know the 14th Amendment [7]. Johnson- In the only attack my opponent has made on Johnson so far, he has provided a vague statement with neither evidence nor warrant. Either way, prefer it to Trump's vague anti-China rhetoric (and vague rhetoric on just about everything). Now for general attacks against Trump: 1. Trump vs. Islam Trump not only says that Islam "hates" the US [8] but that we should ban all Muslim immigration, as well as banning American citizens who happen to be Muslim from returning here if they have traveled abroad. [9] Not only does this destroy freedom of religion, the "US vs. Islam" attitude actually helps ISIS recruiters. ISIS even said in their publications that they benefit from such an attitude. [10] Furthermore, Trump said he would kill the families of ISIS members if he were president [11] because "They're using them as shields." Not even because Trump thinks their family members are more prone to radicalization, but because he promotes killing more of the enemy no matter what the civilian casualty rate may be. 2. Trump admires tyrants Donald Trump openly praised Russian president Vladmir Putin [12]. If you don't get why that's not ok... [13][14][15] Trump also kept a book of Hitler quotes on his nightstand when married to now ex-wife Ivana. [16] 3. Trump has literally no foreign policy Trump told reporters he'd like to be "unpredictable" when it came to foreign policy. [17] Essentially, he doesn't have one. 4. Trump sucks and everyone knows it His unfavorable rating is around 60%. [18] I'd add more, but I'm tired and feel comfortable with my current position. [1] http://feelthebern.org...
