Donald Trump

My opponent begins with an assertion that cannot be referred to as anything but completely and utterly asinine. That we shouldn't take the fight to an enemy and attempt to destroy them because they might get mad and attack back. In case it wasn't indubitable, ISIS has been attacking and murdering Americans and others indiscriminately for years. Furthermore, they cannot come and kill us all if their power has been irrevocably shattered which it is. We do however need to be circumspect in regard to evacuating the middle east and leaving another power vacuum which would be a repeat of Obama's mistake. Regarding my opponents next point, President Trump has never claimed that all Muslims are members of ISIS which would of course be preposterous. However, there can be no denial that the Middle East is a breeding ground for ideas and ideologies that are contrary and incompatible with Western ideas and ideologies. Therefore, we must be wary from importing a multitude of unvetted people from these places without ensuring that they will harbor and propagate our ideas of equity and emancipation. It is also an undeniable truth that the lives of Black people are better under President Trump that under President Obama. For example Black unemployment hit its lowest ever point under President Trump rather than under President Obama. (1) Next, President Trump is not a Bigot. He has imposed no objectively bigoted or racist policy since taking office as I outlined in my secondary post. Next my opponent suggests that other countries hate us. Which is nothing new. the governments of Europe have always looked down on Americans despite the superiority of our economy, military, innovation, and essentially everything else. But like it or not they will put up with us because without us, the UN has about as much bite as the League of Nations did, and they are dependent upon our wealth and influence. Furthermore, what are they going to do about it. They have to put up with him. My opponent claims that rich people don't deserve to be rich. this blatantly false claim is backed up by no reasoning. If you take a risk and build a fortune then you deserve what you built for yourself. It isn't the place of the government or the rest of society to decide that you are required to have your wealth stolen from you and given to people who were unwilling to take the risk you did or had a worse idea. Next, my opponent states that poor people can't get money because the rich have it all. This utterly asinine assertion completely neglects the fact that you can't become rich by stuffing your money in your mattress. you need to invest in your business and thus create jobs, and unlike in communism, the business owner then employs people to run the business and pays them. which in turn allows him to build his business. My opponent then states that Trump is a poopy millionaire and should not have won. I"m going to skip over this point because I can flow my previous argument. My opponent then proceeds to state that we should have elected Hillary because she is a woman. However, the gender of the candidate should be largely irrelevant to their candidacy. I would vote for a female candidate if she met my criteria to be President. Hillary didn't even come close, she is overtly corrupt, unlikable, and doesn't uphold American values. Bernie Sanders had no economic feasibility and his policies would have bankrupted the country. He also states that Karl Marx was a genius, he was not. His economic plan was terrible and evil as it necessitates government tyranny and as a result has led to the deaths of innumerable innocents. He states that he would go over the Berlin Wall backwards. Which of course ignores all of the reasons why people in East Germany were constantly trying to escape and were executed if they tried. this trivialization of the plight of those who suffered under communism is indicative of the depths of my opponents ignorance of the policies he propagates and their implications. My opponent states that President Trumps economic improvements only helps the "middle class finks" you really hate the proletariat for a communist... aside from that, the unemployment rate in the United States is 4.1 percent as of October of 2017 according to the Bureau of labor statistics so even if my opponents statement is true, then he is helping 96% of the population which includes much of the lowest class. Furthermore, with the tax cuts to corporations, many have announced that they are returning many of their jobs to the U.S. which would of course, reduce the unemployment rate. He states that securing the border is racist because Mexico would have to pay for it. Mexico won't have to pay for it. I thought is was a mistake to make that claim on the campaign because it wasn't feasible. President Trump wants the money to be allocated in addition to a DACA deal. A wall is not unnecessary, curtailing illegal immigration is imperative and is well worth the cost. My opponent then claims that President Trump likes to grab women's genitalia. This was very nearly a deal breaker for me with Trump. While the footage was only him making so called "locker room talk" it still wasn't a very good thing to say. However, there is also footage of Hillary laughing about defending and exonerating rapists and shutting up rape victims. both candidates failed to meet my character criteria but Trump was the lesser of two evils in that regard. my opponent denigrates my argument regarding the fact that a misogynist would not appoint women to high office by stating that he stopped a woman from becoming President. Hillary got in her own way. she was a terrible candidate, unlikable and corrupt. drowning in scandals. A better female candidate would have had a much better chance. But a person should not be elected president solely by virtue of their gender. On a less formal note, I think you'll be very disappointed in 2020 given the current behavior of elected democrats.
