Back in May music journalist Chris Morris (author of Together Through Life: A Personal Journey with the Music of Bob Dylan) penned this polemic on Facebook and I find myself in complete agreement with everything he’s expressed.
The # Reason, We Would Have To Be Insane And Crazy To Give An Insane And Crazy Madman Like Trump Nuclear Codes
The #1 Reason for not voting for Donald Trump has to be we can’t give this unstable insecure madman the nuclear codes.

Donald Trump Doesn’t Know Anything About Climate Science and Has No Policy To Deal With It Other Than To Ignore It.
Listening to Donald Trump for months now I can sum up what Donald Trump knows about the science of climate change vs. what 98% of the world’s climate scientists say and that is climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese. That’s about it. That’s really about all he has to say about what is probably the greatest uber-arching threat the U.S. and the world faces today.
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

The Wall is a Stupid Ignorant Expensive Idea.
Our infrastructure across the country is crumbling. According to the American Society of Engineers “The U.S. needs to invest $1.4 trillion in infrastructure between now and 2025” (May 10, 2016) and Trump thinks it’s of paramount importance to appease xenophobic hysteria and build a friggen wall across a border where more Mexicans move across to Mexico than immigrate from Mexico to the U.S. that will cost $17+ Billion dollars well in excess of his $8 Billion dollar claims. And his claims, his promise he is going to make Mexico pay for it are implausible at best.

Donald Trump Is A Xenophobe Who Inspires Even More Xenophobia
Read every awful thing Donald Trump has said about minorities and tell me he’s not racist
Trump regularly tells reporters that he’s “the least racist person that you’ve ever encountered.” But his record tells another story.
The language that Donald Trump uses, this supposedly politiclaly incorrect language gives license to and inspires xenophobia.

Donald Trump Is A Naive Simpleton On Energy
Trump has uniformed even childish stupid ideas on energy policy. As Physcicsit Lawrence Krauss has says “In a single speech Trump shows he knows nothing about science, energy, environment, law, or the economy. Impressive!” While closely connected and related to climate change policy they are not the same thing but what is the same is how uneducated and uninformed his ideas on climate and energy are.
Donald Trump’s Energy Plan: More Fossil Fuels and Fewer Rules
A central question confronting the next president will be how to address climate change. Mr. Trump, who has repeatedly denied the established science that climate change is caused by humans, vowed in his speech to undo many of Mr. Obama’s initiatives.
And here Trump demonstrates just how incredibly unaware and niave he is in regard to Clean Coal and China use of coal.
A closer look at Trump’s sentence-like word strings on coal, China, and the size of the Earth
Wrong, nonsense, or both? You make the call.

His Islamaphobic Rhetoric Is Nourishing ISIS

Donald Trump Will Destroy Our Country’s Moral Standing Around The World
Who are the world leaders that support Donald Trum and want to see him become President? Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un? Most world leaders (99%?) think Donald Trump is a disastrous choice for President of the U.S. No one respects him.
Donald Trump Is Not The Super Businessman He Says He Is Or People Think He Is
Donald Trump Is Not The Super Businessman He Says He Is Or People Think He Is. As I’ve already written about he is good at making money of the backs of small businesses by stiffing them out of their contacted payments or by “renegotiating” the contract after its completed. Working for years on homes in Trump’s neighborhood of Bedford CornersNY this was always part of the scuttlebutt I heard from other contractors warning that if you ever got a chance to work for Trump you should really just walk away.
He left a trail of small businesses he took advantage of in Atlantic City while still earning millions (How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions – The New York Times).
Trump tries to stiff a small mom and pop type paint store for the last payment of $34,863 on a $200,000 order of paint for his Trump National Doral Miami golf resort. The judge awards the paint store their claim and $300,000 in attorney’s fees!
Judge orders Trump to pay nearly $300,000 in attorney’s fees in Doral painter’s lawsuit
While developer Donald Trump was busy getting the Republican Party’s presidential nomination this week, he was losing big in a Miami-Dade County courtroom. Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto,presiding over a lawsuit related to unpaid bills brought by a local paint store against the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort, ordered the billionaire politician’s company to pay the Doral-based mom-and-pop shop nearly $300,000 in attorney’s fees.
Back in 1991 from the article The Donald’s dad bails him out – Press of Atlantic City: Finance we see how he used another questionable loan from his father to bail out one of his casinos.
Gaming regulators are investigating a highly unusual $3.5 million “loan” from Donald Trump’s father last month that helped the casino owner meet an $18.4 million interest payment to Trump Castle Casino Resort bondholders.
Just hours before Donald Trump was expected to default on the payment on Dec. 17, an attorney for Fred Trump reportedly arrived at the casino with a $3.35 million check from Trump’s father that he used to buy gaming chips – a purchase that may have violated a number of state regulations as well as the terms of a $65 million loan last year that averted a financial collapse.
Michael Bloomberg who is is the 6th richest person in the United States and the 8th richest in the world and recognizes Trump is not the businessman he hypes himself to be. Michael Bloomberg who is roughly the same age as Trump (he’s four years older) is probably worth nearly nine times as much as Trump and unlike Trump he didn’t have a father who gave him a millions dollar loan to get started and then bailed him
Michael Bloomberg’s DNC speech really got under Trump’s skin
Millionaire lashes out at billionaire.
Newsweek now has a pretty thorough piece covering his failures as a supposed businessman.
Donald Trump’s business failures: a comprehensive guide
Updated | Donald Trump was thundering about a minority group, linking its members to murderers and what he predicted would be an epic crime wave in America. His opponents raged in response-some slamming him as a racist-but Trump dismissed them as blind, ignorant of the real world.
And the list of Contractor’s ripped off by Trump continues to grow….
Trump golf club renovation hit with 23rd lien, this time for $236K
A 23rd lien was just filed against the Donald Trump-run company that owns Trump National Doral Miami golf club. This lien, which opens the way for a forced sale of Doral unless it’s paid off, was filed Aug. 9 by Straticon LLC, the Martin County-based construction firm in charge of part of the $255 million renovation of the famed country club.
Donald Trump said this week he wants to do for America what he did with the Doral golf course in Miami. But as of today, 23 contractors say they got stiffed by Trump for their work on Doral. Watch what happened when one local business sued.

His Proposal For Health Care Leaves Me Unconvinced, Incredibly Unconvinced
Donald Trump has promised to make the repeal of The Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) one his first priorities when he takes office.
He plans to replace it with “…Something fantastic. Believe me it will be something fantastic.”
Okay……….
Donald Trump Is A Classic Fool
The Oxford Dictionary, defines a fool as “a person who acts unwisely or imprudently,” That he does, in spades, and it will put us all at risk if we give him the keys to the military and nuclear weapons.

https://rationallythinkingoutloud.com/?p=9437#MinimumWage
Trumps Wants to Eliminate or Keep the Minimum Wage Low
Donald Trump has stated that in order for the U.S. to remain competitive as a manufacturer we need to keep the minimum wage low so that manufacturers can compete with foreign countries.
Neil Cavuto’s first question at the Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee was about raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and it went first to Donald Trump. Trump said he wouldn’t raise the minimum wage, and the reason is that America “is a country that is being beaten on every front.”—November 10, 2015. – Donald Trump kicks off GOP debate by saying American wages are ‘too high’
With income inequality at unsustainable levels where “… the top one-tenth of one percent now own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent, or that the top 1 percent in recent years has earned 85 percent of all new income.” and “ if someone in America works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty” (Bernie Sander 07.25.16) a respectable minimum wage in touch with the times is essential. The current minimum wage is in reality, nothing more than corporate welfare because those people are forced to get public assistance to survive which means as taxpayers we are all paying for them while the owners of those companies reap in the profits.
