Trump is unfit to be president

By Bill Horne 4 min read

Donald Trump is no genius.

He is the Republican version of a “giant welfare rat.” Their words not mine! Seems the world’s greatest businessman lost almost a billion dollars and the American people got stiffed for the bill. Writing his losses off on the American taxpayer makes him smart. No, his lawyers are smart; not him. A $916 million loss in one year and you want to be in charge of all our tax money. I don’t think so.

Mr. Trump is no better than Wall Street. We got stuck for his mistakes just like the banks did to us. Mr. Trump wrote off $50 million a year and the American taxpayer has to cover the loss. It’s the wealthy man’s version of a welfare card for the rich.

While he was not paying taxes on money he made for 18 years, you and I were paying all the bills to keep the lights on in America! We paid for the United States Navy to keep the sea lanes open and safe so Mr. Trump could outsource your jobs to communist China and bring back his suits and ties and sell them to you at the same price they make them here for. How stuck on stupid does it have to be America, before you see this guy is a “bum,” a rich bum.” He already told us he prefers to use other people’s money yet owes tax dollars to cover his poor business practices. All these years, we paid all the taxes we owed and the bill at the end of the year is $50 million short.

Our armed forces need the best equipment, our schools need improvement, our water needs cleaned up and the roads and bridges need fixed. The only way to get that $50 million that Donald Trump got out of paying is to raise his taxes or fix the law.

We can’t afford lawyers and lobbyists who are doing us no favors. But the bill still needs to be paid. I could make America great again if I could get and use your money to pay for my greatness.

Mr. Trump’s tax returns are his application for getting the right to drive the American peoples’ economy and so far what we have seen, says don’t give you the keys to the White House.

America has picked up the tab for Mr. Trump’s life on more than scamming us out of our tax money. It is his character and integrity around and about our armed forces. He says he will make them great again. The armed forces of the United States of America are the most powerful fighting force on this Earth, period!

Let’s examine your experience with the armed services. How about your service record? Mr. Trump was too great to serve with us back when. He got not one, not two, but five deferments. Five times he removed himself from duty, honor and country. He was unfit to serve then, so why should we let him serve now, et alone be our commander-in-chief?

Mr. Trump also hasn’t apologized to any of the vets he maligned on his run to be president. Now he’s saying some veterans are not as tough as the rest of us because of post-traumatic stress syndrome. PTSD! They were at war thanks to people like you, Mr. Trump. If ignorance is what is needed in The White House, no one could stand a chance around you.

Mr. Trump is a cancer on the Republican Party. He has eaten up their principles, morals, family values, and integrity to keep him close to having a chance against his opponent – “That little grandma from Arkansas.” We can’t afford one day of Mr. Trump, let alone four years. I thought I would be writing from Fort Leavenworth Federal Prison in Kansas for trying to slap the orange off an overweight man and stamp a gold star on his forehead for a family I never knew.

It’s funny what an oath to a country will make you think about. Now is the time for you to think about it!
