A TRUTHFUL “LABEL” FOR DONALD J. TRUMP

…A caricature of “Dangerous Donald”

 

In negotiating, Donald Trump would always leave a dangerous nuclear solution on the table.

 

Well, there is finally an appropriate label for Donald Trump.

 

Yep, since he has labeled all of his competitors such as “Low Energy Bush”, “Liddle Marco” and “Lyin Ted”.  Now, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post has come up with the most descriptive and appropriate label for “The Donald”. 

 

 

That label is, “Dangerous Donald”.

 

In fact, the digital media company, Vox posted a video in which their editor-in-chief Ezra Klein, made his case that “Donald Trump is the most dangerous presidential candidate in recent memory.”

 

Milbank has also listed all the other labels that have been given to Trump which he agrees also apply.  That being: “Sexist: Bigot. Xenophobe. Con man. Bully. Authoritarian. Flip-flopper. Ignoramus. An entitled rich kid turned oft-failed businessman.”

 

But just look at why “Dangerous Donald” is such an appropriate label.

 

·       His loose talk about using nuclear weapons and starting trade wars. 

·       The violence at most of his events. (A 15-year-old girl protesting Trump in Wisconsin was hit in the face with pepper spray by a Trump supporter.)

·       Trump said that: “There has to be some form of punishment for women who have abortions if the procedure is outlawed”. (He later backed down on this after a national outcry.)

·       His put-downs of women, immigrants and racial minorities, especially Muslims.

·       His threat to order the military to break laws by torturing and by targeting innocents.

·       His call to ban all Muslims from entering America.

·       His continued use of profanity while campaigning.

·       Sticking up for his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski who was charged with battery for the video of roughing up a female reporter.  This was the second time Lewandowski was in a filmed altercation.

·       Trump has alternated between saying he would rescind the Iran nuclear deal and saying he would enforce it vigorously.

·       He says he would not rule out using tactical nuclear weapons against the Islamic State.

·       He promises to “bomb the sh-- out of” the terrorist groups which would also kill many innocent civilians

·       He says he gets much of his national security advice from watching TV talk shows.

·       Trump says his attending a military academy in high school counts as national security experience.

·       Trump has talked about bombing Iran.

·       He talks about a 45% tariff on Chinese goods which would just increase the prices to US consumers.

·       Trump said he knows “more about ISIS than the US generals do” and says he is his own best adviser on foreign affairs “because I have a very good brain.”

·       He praises the virtues of not having a known military strategy.  He wants to keep the world guessing.  He said, “The voters want to see unpredictability.” Really?

 

National security is serious business, and nothing is more dangerous than an erratic strongman who could send your children to war or could fire a nuclear weapon.”

 

Every day we get more and more examples why having “Dangerous Donald” as the US president would be a serious mistake.

 

Just look at a couple of the latest polls:

 

·       Women’s Vote Action Fund, found that 58% of all likely voters nationally have serious or very serious doubts about Trump being the US president.

·       In a statement highlighting Trump’s sexism and bigotry, 66% of those polled had serious, or very serious doubts about Donald Trump.

·       53% described Trump as xenophobic and 42% as an egomaniac.

 

I propose that from now forward, we only refer to Donald J. Trump as: “Dangerous Donald”.
