In a complete repudiation of good governance and what can only be seen as a longing for an authoritarian ruler American voters elected Donald Trump President.
Here's a person who's embolden racists, isolationists and bigots of all stripes. A man who has no understanding of how the American government works or how policy is implemented. A man who doesn't understand or want to know any of the basic concepts affecting domestic and foreign policy. In the area of domestic policy Donald Trump has advocated for the deportation of all 11 million people living in America who are undocumented and for building a wall along America's southern border. (The Berlin Wall lives.) In the area of foreign policy he has on several occasions stated that America's military wouldn't just go after the world's terrorists but their families as well, stating they should also be killed. (That's a war crime.) As for America's military alliances? Well, you'd better pay up. He once pronounced NATO as obsolete and that America's continued involvement would be predicated upon member states paying fees to America. Can a like a protection racket. Donald Trump thinks that South Korea and Japan should have their own nuclear arsenals even though neither country wants them. He also wonders why America can't just use its nuclear weapons simply because the U.S. has them.
During the second Presidential debate Donald Trump stated that if elected he would arrest and imprison Hillary Clinton even though she's never been charged with any criminal offense. Authoritarian rulers do that not American President's unless you're Donald Trump.
He's called America's press liars and claimed they were biased against him. During the campaign Donald Trump has advocated going after those media outlets he believes have broadcast or printed unfavourable stories about him. Will he go the way of Turkey's Erdogan and start shutting down opposition media outlets and arresting and imprisoning journalists? To say that he won't would be a fool's errand.
Donald Trump has no business leading America or the world. He's incapable of doing so because he's thin skinned, can't handle criticism, views any slight as a personal attack and if wronged has the extremely bad habit of wanting revenge and won't stop until he has it.
