Unqualified … and unfit to become POTUS

103477256-trumphillary2rr.530x298

I am so very reluctant to put words in other people’s mouths, but I cannot resist the urge here.

The probable Democratic Party presidential nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton, said the other day that presumptive GOP nominee Donald J. Trump is “unqualified” to become president of the United States.

I beg to differ. He’s not only unqualified. He is unfit for the job.

Technically, Trump is qualified. He is a U.S. citizen; he’s well past the minimum age. He doesn’t have a felony conviction (I am presuming).

It’s the fitness that matters more to me.

The dictionary provides an inadequate definition of the term “unfit.” Its primary definition is “inappropriate.” Yeah, do you think?

A man with no public service record who refuses to release his tax returns wants to trust us to do the right thing. A reality TV celebrity who once operated beauty pageants wants to become the head of state of the world’s greatest nation. Someone who has lied repeatedly ever since becoming a candidate for the Republican Party nomination wants to become the moral leader of this nation.

Trump has no philosophical grounding. His world view depends on the last person to whom he has spoken. He changes his views at every opportunity.

Someone with zero grasp of governing wants to become the chief executive of the United States of America. He wants to “build a wall” to keep illegal immigrants out. He wants to ban Muslims from entering the country.

Trump wants to take the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He wants to kill family members of terrorists. He says it’s OK if Japan and South Korea develop nuclear arsenals. He wants to talk directly to North Korean dictator/nutcase Kim Jong Un.

Trump has mocked an individual with a serious physical handicap. He has said amazingly crass things to — and about — women. He says the Mexican government is deliberately sending “rapists, drug dealers and murderers” into the United States.

No, the issue here isn’t his qualifications. It’s his fitness for the job.

Donald Trump fails the fitness test at every level imaginable.

  1. I agree with Dave on this one. Everything described also applies to Hillary. Although she is an elected “public official” makes her “qualified”, does it make her “”fit” for the job? Absolutely not. She has done nothing in her tenure to help the people of the U.S. Lies about her e-mails regarding the murders at Benghazi…change of opinion on gay marriages…no legitimate plan of the stop of terrorists attacks…no sound plan on healthcare or the future economy…she is just a puppet that has done nothing besides live off of the taxpayers dollar being a “prized, qualified public service individual”. So what if Trump sponsored and organized beauty pageants…wtf difference does that make? (Hillary once said something similar along those lines). Wants to speak face to face with the North Korean leader…what’s the problem there? At least he has the balls to do so and maybe come up with a solution to the problem instead of avoiding it. Making our military more efficient and powerful? Can’t disagree there. Putting a stop to the illegal swarm that is coming into our nation? (Yes ILLEGAL. ..meaning against the law, not undocumented). Not to mention he is a very successful businessman, that I’m sure, has a very keen idea of how the economy can prosper. All of that being said…I’m sure that makes him more “fit” than Hillary.

    1. Well, I guess we’ll just agree to disagree on Trump’s fitness or lack thereof for the job he wants to do. Thanks for your comment.
