Sam Altman posted

TRIUMPH OF EVIL

about D. Trump.

Here in the interest of better government
for the US, I respond to Altman's post.

Who am I? I've posted long and often at
HN, especially on relatively technical
topics in applied mathematics.

I am doing an Internet information
technology startup where the core of the
work is some of my original applied math
for higher quality information for the
users.

I am a US citizen with no connection with
any political campaign.

I live in the state of NY and there am
registered as a Democrat.

I've used the Internet to try to keep up
on the race for President of the US
(POTUS). Currently I intend to vote for
Trump.

> But Trump is wrong about the more
important part: how to fix these problems.

Well, from all I've seen, so far Trump's
statements about the economy are
generalities.

Are those generalities bad? Apparently
not: As of now, at

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/repub...

apparently on the first ballot in the
Republican Convention in Cleveland in
July, Trump will receive at least 1542
votes and, thus, comfortably over the 1237
he needs for the nomination. So, so far
his economic plans, although just
generalities, were part of a successful
campaign.

Maybe in the rest of the campaign Trump
will provide more details. I hope he
will.

For Alman's claim that Trump is "wrong",
Altman didn't mention anything, not
specifics, not even generalities. So,
there is no way for me to tell just why
Altman believes that Trump is "wrong".

> He is irresponsible in the way dictators
are.

Altman didn't give any specific case where
Trump was "irresponsible". Being "in the
way dictators are" doesn't mean much since
I am sure that Altman, Trump, and all
dictators are the same in that they eat,
sleep, breathe, talk, and more. To have
something critical about Trump, we need
something more specific.

> Trump’s casual racism, misogyny, and
conspiracy theories are without precedent
among major presidential nominees.

I've read a lot about Trump and frequently
read that Trump is racist and misogynist.
Since I would be very concerned if Trump
were those things, I've looked for solid
evidence but so far have found none. The
sources I read gave no solid evidence, and
neither did Altman. The evidence I have
found indicates that Trump is just the
opposite from racist and misogynist.

> He has said that a judge of Mexican
descent isn’t treating him fairly because
of his heritage and that we should ban
Muslims from entering the country.

I dispute the claim about Trump and the
judge: From all I have seen, Trump
believes the judge has treated him
unfairly in the case. One Trump claim is
that the case should have been dismissed
on summary judgment. Another claim is that
the case should have been dismissed when
the lead plaintiff withdrew from the case.

Then, with that unfair treatment, Trump
asked why, why did the judge treat Trump
unfairly? So, as at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWKmpB7SeNE

Trump said:

> All I'm trying to do is figure out why
I'm being treated so unfairly by a judge.
And a lot of people agree with it. All I
want to do, all I want to do is find out
why I'm being treated so unfairly by a
judge.

In looking for an answer to this question,
Trump noticed the judge's Mexican
ancestry and political activities that
conflict with some of Trump's positions on
illegal immigration from Mexico. Trump
concluded that those facts about that
judge explain why the judge treated Trump
unfairly.

Trump never claimed that the a judge with
Mexican ancestry would have to treat him
unfairly. Instead Trump noticed that the
judge DID treat Trump unfairly, asked why,
and noticed the judge's ancestry and
political activities.

“I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent
conflict of interest,” Mr. Trump said.

At

http://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/4-reasons-why-judge-curiel...

there is much more detail on the case and
why the judge should recuse himself from
the case.

If there is any racism here, it is from
the judge. Indeed, if investigate a
little, the judge is too close to some
groups who want CA to be returned to
Mexico and all persons in the US of
Western European descent to return to
Europe -- wildly racist.

> To anyone familiar with the history of
Germany in the 1930s, it’s chilling to
watch Trump in action. Though I know
intellectually it’s easy in hard economic
times to rile people up with a hatred of
outsiders, it’s still surprising to watch
this happen right in front of us.

Clearly from his many statements, Trump
wants the US to enforce the long existing
US laws on immigration, e.g., the laws
that his wife Melania DID follow
correctly. I've listened to nearly all of
Trump's debate performances, speeches, and
rallies, and what I have heard is that
always or nearly so each time Trump says
that we should stop illegal immigration he
also says right away that he is for LEGAL
immigration.

"A hatred of outsiders" has nothing to do
with the desire and need to enforce our
immigration laws.

That's enough, Sam. Sam, you blew it.
