First off let me say that I am not a democrat or a conservative. I actually am a pretty even 50/50 on my beliefs. I don't believe in slanderous false material nor liberal/conservative media. So all of this, is done without bias to either party or any candidate.
Trump's treatment of other candidates
Let's start at the first Republican debate back in 2015, shall we?
When first claiming that he would not support the Republican Nominee (if it weren't him) he was further accused by Rand Paul, who stated that he wouldn't be reliable as a candidate. He claimed that based on how he worked with money he could wind up supporting Clinton, and not being able to pledge support to the republican nominee proved this.
Trump's response? A quick jab at how he had given him money. Offensive? Not really. But this early in the debate, we were already seeing how if Trump could get a quick jab in there under his breath that had nothing to do with the question and was simply deflecting on to someone else, he was going to do it.
While we're on the subject of Trump and Rand Paul, I think it's worth mentioning in the Republican Debate hosted by CNN when Paul called Trump out for his attacks on nonsense attacks on other people's appearance Trump responded with "I never once attacked you but believe me there is plenty of subject matter right there."
I think that statements speaks for itself.
On top of talking over other candidates when they are asked questions, such as when Jeb Bush when he brought up supporting the democrats.
In an argument with Jeb Bush over the war in iraq, Trump brought up some pretty accurate accusations against Bush and how his father and brother handled things. In my opinion, I thought he was correct. Until, Jeb Bush started giving his rebutle and Trump decided to sarcastically snap back at all of them. Bush was not correct with what he was saying, but Trump's inability to shut his mouth for one second or actually say something relevant that didn't involve Bush's mother showed here. He wasn't incorrect, but he made an ass of himself.
He insulted Carly Fiorina, saying "Look at that face, would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president." He then lied to cover himself saying he was talking about her persona and then once more tried to lie again saying that he thought she had a beautiful face and was a beautiful woman. Sorry Trump but not all of us are so easily fooled.
Trump's treatment of women
Sexism, misogyny and foul language are second nature to him.
When questioned at the first debate back in 2015 about this, he first lied, saying he had only made the comments in relation to one woman, but when proven that this was false based on evidence from his twitter he instead redirected saying that it was the countries fault for being too politically correct and that the person questioning him was not being very nice and treating him poorly, when all she was doing was asking him questions based on evidence.
Then in a later interview, proving her point, he stated that the reason she was pushing him was because she was on her period.
I'm sure you're also familiar with the quote, "If Ivanka wasn't my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her." A disgusting quote that only worsens after realizing the previous statement was about her figure. This also seems to go against his statement from the 2nd debate where he said "I respect women, I will take care of women."
He claimed that Bush's weakness with illegal immigration was due to his Mexican born wife and refused to apologize to her as he claimed he had said nothing wrong.
Trump in business
In the first debate when questioned about bankruptcy he stated that he did what every other business would do and he used the laws to his advantage and did not lose anything over his failed projects. What did happen however was the people who had invested with him lost millions and ultimately laid off hundreds. But as long as it didn't have an effect on him it's fine right?
In the 2nd debate on cnn trump openly lied twice about trying to loosen restriction in Florida for casinos, and then turned it onto Bush claiming he was the one making things up.
But after all, he claims that this country needs him to help straighten out the budget.
And while we're talking about bankruptcy I think it's important to note that in the second debate on CNN he completely lied about every filing it in the first place.
Trump in Foreign Matters
When questioned in the 2nd debate about how he would handle Russia in Syria, he had no answer. His answer reminded me of the kids who BS-ed their way through tests in school. The only thing he could say was "We'll get along." "I believe over everything we'll get along." But he filled his response with enough fluff to make it sound slightly legitimate. The only real answer that he stated was that they don't respect us, which in itself isn't an answer. The implication from that answer was that he'd do something to have them respect us.
But respect isn't given, it can't be forced, it's earned. Because of that sometimes getting respect from people is impossible. So implying we WILL have their respect, especially by show of power is a lie. When further questioned about what he'd do, he repeatedly swallowed lines and changed what he was saying. One example of a Trump line would be, "When I am president I plan to- you know we have a problem people. No one respects us. So I will take charge and make this country great again."
Trump on illegal immigration
For the most part I personally support what he's saying about illegal immigration except for the fact that the illegal immigrants coming over are rapists and killers and etc. Let me explain something to all those that don't know, you see, if you're living in America on some sort of form that grants you citezinship you cannot break the law. If you break the law, then most likely you will be kicked out. If it's that easy for legal immigrants, why would illegal immigrants put themselves in a position where they could so easily be arrested and kicked out? I have lived in Florida, California and other states that have high amounts of immigration, and I talked to many people who at one point were illegal immigrants. (Though they were legal when I met them.) All of them were restaurant owners, shopkeepers and ETC. But as we recall trump's claim was based on the fact he had just spoken to some border patrol about it, he didn't actually have a credible source.
Trump also claims he's the reason we're talking about illegal immigration in the first place, even though it had come heavily in talk in 2012, 2008 and 2004.
Mike Pence
For those of you who don't know, Mike pence he's Trump's running mate. He claimed in an interview “I don’t think name calling has any place in public life, and I thought that was unfortunate that the president of the United States would use a term like that." in reference to Obama calling Trump a "Homegrown Demagogue."
Well listen Mike, I know you don't think name calling has a place in politics, and I'm sure that "Lying Ted, Liddle Marco, Crooked Hillary and Low Energy Bush" as dubbed my Trump, would all probably agree with you. But, Trump does not. He says that branding people is part of his strategy.
Conclusion
I could go on, and on, and on and on. If you want more examples. I'll give them to you. But the point is that this man does NOT deserve to be president. There is clear evidence why. If you think you have to support him cause of lying Killary then maybe you should look at his lie record.
