[QUOTE="Paidiske, post: 69598467, member: 386627"] Seriously, even from people who don't think that every American is an obese, undereducated hillbilly who subsists on McDonalds... Trump. Really? A serious contender for president? Why?? - A wall between America and Mexico? (Because that worked so well in other places... oh wait... ) - More military presence in the South China Sea to intimidate China? (Because that's really going to make them want to come to the negotiating table) - No gun control (Sorry guys, but the rest of the world thinks America is nuts about its guns) - He does say something about needing to improve mental health care (good) but I notice no detail and on how hit will be achieved. And given that at the same time he wants to repeal the Affordable Health Care act, I'm guessing there'll be plenty of potential gun criminals who won't have the health insurance needed to access that improved mental health care (even if they would have chosen to). I mention that because he has the section on improved mental health care under his position on second amendment rights, as if he thinks better mental health care will mean less deaths. - Detention of refugees? (Concentration camps for those trying to flee oppression and violence. Awesome display of humanity there. And yeah, I know, Australia already has mandatory detention, and it's pretty damned awful. Don't go there). And so on. Seriously, I'm not even talking superficial stuff like the fact that the guy seems to worship his own ego. He doesn't have much in the way of policy that's at all admirable. So why is America even taking him seriously? Do they really think he wants this for any other reason than self-aggrandisement?
