I am so very reluctant to put words in other people’s mouths, but I cannot resist the urge here.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I beg to differ. He’s not only unqualified. He is unfit<\/em> for the job.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

It’s the fitness that matters more to me.<\/p>\n

The dictionary provides an inadequate definition of the term “unfit.” Its primary definition is “inappropriate.” Yeah, do you think?<\/p>\n

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\u00a0operated 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

No, the issue here isn’t his qualifications. It’s his fitness for the job.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u00a0fails the fitness test at every level imaginable.<\/p>\n
