Explain Why You Oppose A Donald Trump Presidency

I don't oppose a Donald Trump Presidency but he has not earned my vote yet.

I need to know how he plans to do the things he says he will do. I hear a lot of promises, I also hear a lot of good things from him, but I don't hear the how.

He has explained a few things. For example:

Placing a tariff on products manufactured in Mexico, Korea, Japan, China, and other countries that are imported into our country for resale. In Mexico's case, this would place a tariff on all those new cars and trucks entering and coming into Laredo, Texas every day. Such a tariff would pressure Ford Motor Company and others to moved their plants to the United States and do their manufacturing here to avoid the tariff. Such a tariff would also provide some amount of funding to secure the southern border. We have a huge trade deficit now and these tariffs would be a move to make the playing field more equitable.

We have an agreement to defend Japan militarily. Tariffs upon Japanese manufactured goods imported into this country would help offset the costs for maintaining a military presence in Japan. China is stealing and counterfeiting many American patents. We need to place tariffs upon all goods manufactured in China and imported into the United States.

So you think it's a good idea for Americans to pay higher prices for cars and trucks?

Let's have them made here. Let's buy American made.

Sorry, that isn't an answer either that I can support. Bringing American companies back here by force will only benefit unions and punish American consumers.
 
I believe he said he would threaten to impose tariffs on these countries as a negotiating tactic, not do it as a matter of course.

Rolling back government regulations is always a great idea.

Regulations ARE killing jobs. But there isn't a single Republican candidate who thinks we should have more regulation. They all think we should have less.
 
Americans pay tariffs on foreign goods, not foreigners. I understand using them as a threat to gain leverage, but don't agree on using them as standard policy. Placing tariffs on the goods of American companies who manufacture their products overseas is something I can accept, but only because these companies are spitting on American workers.

Tariffs are taxes.

Trump believes in raising taxes on Americans.

Actually that's what you say. The truth is, he claims he will cut taxes for the middle class. Yes tariffs are taxes. It is also an enticement to have American companies return to America to manufacture their goods. Coupled with reducing corporate taxes and government regulations these should all work together to entice some companies to return to America to manufacture their goods since we are their largest buyers. This would require their hiring American workers which will further boost the economy and increase4 the government's revenues by the employment of these Americans and the taxes they would pay. Are these concepts that difficult to understand.

Whether or not you support it is totally besides the point. No one is forcing these companies to do anything. They can remain where they are and pay the tariffs.

Of course. Most any Republican will support reducing government regulations and interference. That's a Democrat thing.

How does he plan to pay for increased military spending?
How does he plan to make Mexico pay for the wall?

Tariffs only increase prices for American consumers. That isn't an answer that I can support.

If you have more people employed and more businesses and corporations functioning in a strong economy, the government will receive more revenue. The tariffs along will go a long way toward paying for the wall. Also, if he actually were to go into Iraq to aid in their defense, he has said he would take over the oil fields and use the Iraqi oil to pay back for our military expenses in defense of Iraq. Also Japan pays nothing towards their defense. Since America defends Japan, why should America pay rent for the land upon which our bases are located on in Japan? That's stupid.
 
Let's reflect upon the reason(s) you are opposed to a Donald Trump presidency: Is/are your reason(s) one or more of the following?

Mr. Trump has proposed securing our southern border.
He has pledged to deport illegal aliens. ILLEGAL aliens!
He will strip anchor babies of their citizenship....
He will have Japan and other nation provide funding necessary for their own military protection.
He will seize the oilfields in Iraq to recoup any costs in defending Iraq militarily.
He will impose tariffs on products manufactured outside the United States.
He will reduce regulations that are unfriendly to small businesses.
He will reduce the tax burden upon the American taxpayer.
He will create incentives to keep companies from moving their operations abroad.
He will build the strongest and most powerful military in the world.
He will take care of our veterans instead of taking care of illegal aliens.
He will be the best friend Christians have ever had in a position of power.
He will stop the abortions and sales of dismembered murdered unborn and just born children by Planned Parenthood.
He will not accept contributions from lobbyists or special interest groups.
He will work as our President for $1.00 a year and will accept no pension when he leaves office.
He will support law enforcement and restore law and order to our cities.

Now, again I ask you: Just what is it that you take exception to with Mr. Trump?
Why would I explain anything to you?

Are you prepared to listen? Actually listen? Or will you just immediately tick off each item as, "Nope, thats bullshit" because you support his clown?

You're a waste of time.

Why not make your arguments for why YOU support him.

Because I wanted to see all the liberal excuses you loons might put forth. The truth is you are afraid of him. He might actually accomplish some of what he says and make liberal loons look like you just spent eight years spinning your wheels.
You're kidding, right?

Lets start with the fact that I'm probably twice as conservative as you are.

Then lets move on to the fact that Trump is making a big noise, and has no real policy to accomplish his big noise...He was on a conservative talk show just yesterday and couldn't answer the guy on the names of the top 5 terrorist organizations in the world...and he want to be CinC?

Trump has shown you exactly how he will govern. You like him, he's all in for you.....you don't like him, he's all about throwing a temper tantrum....

Now, answer My fucking question...

What makes you support him? Other than he talks smack......Name his policies, and post link to his papers on those policies...

Apparently you are simply too full of yourself to read my posts. I have explained his idea of tariffs, his idea for securing our southern border, his idea for funding the military, etc. Now that said, you don't lend yourself to deserve any real attention. You choose to demand. I am nearly 72 years of age and no one demands anything of me anymore. Climb down off your self-constructed little pedestal and come across with sounding like a jerk and maybe someone will engage you.

Apparently you are too stupid to comprehend....

I can post his ideas on tariffs, securing the border, funding the military, etc.. and they are wholly different then from what his rhetoric is NOW.

I don't give a fuck how hold you are. You are asking Me and others to post their reasons why they oppose Trump.....WITHOUT BOTHERING to post you own reasons for why you've been duped into believing he is conservative, or even FOR America.

Trump is for Trump. He is a megalomaniac and does nothing that does not feed his own ego....if feeding that ego is to get democrats and socialists and communists to like him, that is what he'll do. You, Me, The Citizens of this country, THIS COUNTRY, and the WORLD takes a back seat to Trumps own need to be Master of the Universe.

Anyone with a first year college psych class could diagnose it.
 
Did you even know that he supports the theft of private property by eminent domain as a means of furthering his own wealth?

One of the very foundations of this countries ideals of liberty and freedom is the right to own property.

Trump has zero problem using government to take that property from people "HE" deems unworthy...for his own enrichment.

That sound like someone YOU want to vote for?
 
Trump, by his own admission, has purchased politicians for his own ends....

Is that someone you want to vote for?

Shall I continue?

Because I can make Hillary Clinton look like a fooking saint compared to Trump and it will all be verifiable through his own words and actions!

Trump? Its a wonder the fucking progressives aren't throwing Hillary out for him.

Of course. Most any Republican will support reducing government regulations and interference. That's a Democrat thing.

Did you take economics in college? Because increasing tariffs as a way to create jobs has long been discredited.

It's terrible policy.

Cut taxes and reduce regulation, but don't raise tariffs. Tariffs destroy jobs.
 
Wondering, Where are the die hard pro Trump? LOL.

They're STILL stunned from this weeks news. DONALD TRUMP CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS.

I am certain there are still people out there that support the WALL--the WALL--the WALL--that don't give a rats ass if he knows anything else though.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Rave on. The fact is everyone has already predicted his demise but he is even leading Clinton in a head-to-head poll. Wake up and smell the roses. Try living in the real world for a change.
 
If you like Trump but want someone who doesn't come across as an amateurish spiteful buffoon, vote for Ted Cruz.

Dude, I usually agree with you, but Ted Cruz???


:lol::lol:

Trump is saying most of the same things as Ted Cruz. However, Cruz isn't making an ass of himself and at least has some legislative experience.


He's been making an ass of himself since he took office, just in a different fashion. Personally, I'd be just as happy to see Cruz as the nominee, since he'd be just as toxic.

There is nothing wrong with Ted Cruz, I have a lot of respect for him myself. The problem is that a lot of people associate Ted with the government shutdown and the fact that he is now a Washington insider to a lot of folks who are fed up with Washington politics. Ted would make a good president. So would Ben Carson and a couple of others.

You have no problem though with Obama and the EPA and Bureau of Land Management doing this.

Where did I say anything about his losing?

I AM the one living in the real world. The fact that you don't even know the most basic things about your candidate is proof that I made the right call in questioning your motives for this entire thread.
