Trump - representation of American Arrogance

From the recent sleepless nights, I've been listening to the news, looking at the polls, and frantically updating on people's view on the most reported GOP runner. Never has a political candidate, or anyone in media, has caused this much stress, and anxiety in my life. Looking at the so called Donald Trump supporters - white, uneducated, racist, selfish, it is clear that people who have at least a tiny bit of moral senses do not want to have Trump as the American President.

Trump, the famous candidate that went up to the podium and started verbally attacking, insulting his oppoentents in the most graceless way, commented on the political ad campaign that was aired out against him. 'All those hours spent talking badly about me' as Trump weave out his thoughts to the reporter, hurt, disappointed, has he never thought about what those political candidates felt when he was insulting them right on TV? This is when I realize that Trump has no compassion towards people, does not feel and care about the pain he can inflict on others. If he comes the president, will he care about the pain and suffering millions of people are going to endure as a result of his policies?

Americans are known to be straight and direct. However, Trump speaks to the general public in the most convoluted way he can be. Every interviews he has conducted with reporters has been going in circles. The 'We gotta do something' and 'Make America great again' carries only emotion, but never any actual content. Trump rarely provides concrete and realistic solutions, a man who lives in his own dreams, unfortunately, is the only thing I see.

Worse, Trump addressed David Duke endorsement with denial and confusion. 'What? David Duke endorsed me?... Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK?' I have never seen a presidential candidate whom sounded so much like a child. How does that statement different from a 5-year old boy saying I don't know who stole that last cookie, I don't know, okay?

Some of the Trump supports has offered the most outraging reasons for why they support him. And those reasons reflected so much how sinful those people can be. CNN quoted a male Trump supporter saying 'I mean, it seems like we really go overboard to make sure all these other nationalities nowadays and colors have their fair shake of it, but no one's looking out for the white guy anymore'. In a way I am happy that those white guys are having a taste of what they have done to minorities, those terrible feeling of neglect, lack of respect, and fear they have made minorities feel for all those years. But looking at the comment, it made me question why should America look out for the white guys in the first place? I thought we are all created equal, I thought America is a nation that has been, and always will be, made out of immigrants.

I do not give Trump respect as a GOP candidate, I do not have respect for Trump as a human being. Such person, who only cares about profit, numbers, and ignore to address the people whom disagrees with him and would like to "punch [Trump's protestors] in the face". A dictator who kills off people who disagrees with his own ideas, that is who he really is.
