It is absolutely frightening to know that there is a good portion of Americans who support a completely narcissistic, delusional, severely controlling, manipulative, arrogant, selfish, ill-informed and utterly toxic Donald Trump in his bid to become President of the United States of America.
Never before in the course of American politics has a candidate, during the course of this campaign, repeatedly exposed his sheer witlessness on the very rudimentary of matters; even in his own countries’ national interest. Never before in recent history has there been a candidate so vile and offensive to global conscienceless such as he. Even in the past campaigns of a dim, “Africa is a country and Nigeria is a continent,” George Bush and a “You can see Russia from land in Alaska,” Sarah Palin, there has not been a more mindboggling and disturbing bid for the US Oval office than that of Donald Trump.
Not in these ages has the world seen a presidential candidate who has made racial and religious prejudice the center-point of his campaign.
Trump started his race by making declarations to impose immigration bans on Muslims, to shut down Mosques, to build a wall around America and force the Mexicans to pay for the wall, to expel millions of immigrants from America and other very derogatory statements towards women.
No major presidential candidate has ever been quite as condescending of wisdom, as apathetic to realities, as undisturbed by his nescience. From the start of his presidential bid, Mr. Trump has never come across as a man with an intent to familiarize himself with most issues, let alone master them. President Barack Obama hit the nail on the head when he described Donald Trump as a man who ‘doesn’t Know Much’ About the World.”
Should this moron end up in the sacred office of which he runs for, there would most likely be the most unqualified president in American history. Donald Trump has had neither military or government experience and this tragically is very evident in his comportment and utterances. He has no experience of political office.
Just as concerning is his impression of what his proposed presidency would actually entail. The man has absolutely no clue. In none of his campaigns does he speak intelligently about policy or working with the American Congress. Not once has he articulated a reasonably clear course that he intends to take the country, especially as part of an international community looking to promote peace and unity. The world watches with abated breath as this man acts out a presidential race as if he is a contestant in one of his reality TV shows. If anyone thinks the world is a dangerous and scary place at present, then one can only shudder to think what a Donald Trump presidency in the United States would mean.
Even more debarring is Mr. Trump’s disposition. He is unpredictable, mercurial and amoral. He enjoys an element of primitiveness and nastiness that has revealed itself in how he speaks to and of people, how he ridicules and mocks others and how he tangibly scorns those he perceives to be against him. He is all shades of delusional.
Mr. Trump’s poisonous mixture of lack of knowledge, expressive volatility, demagogy, egoism and malice would do more than result in a failed presidency; it would lead to a global catastrophe. The prospect of Donald Trump as commander in chief should send a chill down the spine of every single person in this world.
The fabled manner in which Mr. Trump’s conducts himself would be hilarious were it not hazardous in someone contesting for the highest office in the world’s only remaining super power.
Whatever slumber the Republican party is in, they need to wake up from it. And fast. If by any stretch of the imagination, the Republicans allow Donald Trump to emerge as the party’s candidate going into the 2016 elections; that would be the biggest threat to the triumph of the party. The Republican nominee will end up being the de-facto leader of the party; the figurehead, whom will give it characterization. If Donald Trump heads the Party, it will be a bigoted, party in the worst way possible. If Trump emerges as the standard bearer for the party, it would signal a danger to conservatism in America itself.
Indeed, Donald Trump is the kind of man the system of the so-called free world was intended to elude, the sort of leader the American Constitution and its founding fathers dreaded. The kind of rabble-rousing and inflammatory character who does not see himself as part of a constitutional arrangement, but more as an substitute to it.
Watching the political journey of Donald Trump is like watching a pre-pubescent teenager acting up in the middle of the schoolyard during lunch hour. From his twitter attacks and threats to ‘spill the beans’ on his opponents wife, to his support of an aide’s alleged battery of a reporter, to his misogynistic comments on women, to his refusal to denounce the KKK and his warnings that he would quit his party if he doesn’t get the primary nomination, this one man has cut the silhouette of an enormous, immature bullying splotch of a jester.
None could have described Donald Trump’s candidacy for the presidency of the United States better than a German daily newspaper, which recently described it as an ‘open door to madness: for the unthinkable to happen, a bad joke to become reality… What looked grotesque must now be discussed seriously.”
Donald Trump is not just a clown whose rhetoric is clumsy and basic. He is an advocate of unreasonable illusions, a xenophobe and an ignoramus whose potentially nationalist-chauvinist strategy would make the world dark, unpleasant and unstable. His presidency would most certainly risk the stability of the global order.
For the sake of that delicate World order, ‘all’ Americans should register to vote and save the international community from the catastrophe that could be the electoral victory of Donald Trump. If nothing else, the world should have everything to fear at the chime of the word, President Donald Trump. May God help us…
