Trump lack character

Thu., July 28, 2016

Is there no one who will stand up and say that Donald Trump does not have the character to occupy the White House? As a foreign national, I make no comment about his policy positions, such as they are. But I can judge him on purely human terms. Does he have generosity of spirit? Is he a fine human being?

The answer cries out no. To me, he is an unpleasant little man who should not be allowed anywhere near the seat of power.

I cannot understand why you take him so seriously. Based on what we have seen so far, a Trump presidency would be a catastrophe.
