Donald Trump is not even close to presidential material

With each passing presidential debate, we learn more and more about the man, the myth, the legend: Donald Trump.

My list could go on for hours, days and weeks on why I believe Donald Trump is the most under-qualified presidential candidate in the history of candidates.

To start off, he is a businessman. He doesn’t care about people in need, he doesn’t care about the war crisis, he cares about money and how much he can gain. If someone wants to run a country, they have to do it with selflessness and with the people’s best interest in mind.

Trump was merely a joke at first, and continued that way for a while. But now, as his popularity seems to grow amongst the American people, should his opposers be fearful?

As Super Tuesday came to a close, we saw Trump come in an astounding lead in most states, which may or may not have shocked people.

Considering the past polls that we’ve seen, Trump’s lead didn’t shock me at all, however continues to scare me as his followers seem to grow.

What worries me the most, however, is not Trump himself, although completely unfit to lead our country — it’s how many people he has convinced to support him.

The fact that Americans nowadays can comprehend supporting a man who says that, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting,” it’s mind-boggling to me.

Trump is a powerful man with lots of money, but money is not the only thing we need to make America great again.
