Being Canadian, I am not really 100% up to date with the US politics but I'm trying to educate myself and I read the news on it daily. Whoever wins presidency will definitely have an impact on Canada so yea, I believe its important to know whats happening. Moreso, I want to center in on Trump and get your thoughts. I'm not making this board to debate whether Trump is great or not, just thoughts on what would happen if Trump actually wins?
My thoughts:
As much as he's trying to be impartial about the whole racism thing, there's a lot of evidence towards Trump actually being a racist himself, being compared to a modern day Hitler. I read somewhere that he has family ties to the KKK, and likewise, the KKK is behind Trump. I think he actually wants a "american america" meaning he really doesn't want immigrants to come to the US anymore, as he has said through "building walls, etc" (I'm very against this, and I'm sure he could get US out of debt in another way). His reasons for this are the debt that US has, and I think he moreso wants to run the US as a business. This is going to be a lot different from the successful running of Obama, and it says a lot that Obama doesn't think Trump should win.
Another thing is the violence at Trump rallys. There's also a degree of violence but recently I have seen a lot of videos of Trump actually promoting violence, "If you see someone with a tomato, punch them in the face. Ill pay for the legal fees, believe me". This creates a lot of unneeded hostility at rallys. It makes me think that Trump may just win for a popularity vote which is realistically not good for the country. Look at Toronto with Rob Ford. Of course Ford did make some positive changes and did most of the things he said he was going to, but he actually got voted in for being a ridiculous crack addict eventually. Even when he was like in rehab and drunk publicly, he almost won office again.
Overall though, Trump WILL make the chances needed to probably help the US, but at what cost? I sort of think he has some sort of a hidden agenda here.
What do you guys think?
