Trump the Chump

When a reporter asked, “Do you think systems should be put in place to track all Muslims in this country?” Donald Trump responded with, “I would certainly implement that, absolutely.” Last week, Donald Trump proposed to ban all Muslims from entering the United States until the nation’s leaders can “figure out what is going on.” In the wake of what is being called a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif., that left 14 people dead, many people are asking questions, and no answers are being given. The call to action that Trump proposed is not only bigoted, but it could ruin foreign relations with the countries where Islam is the nation’s primary religion.

In the past, the United States has tried to persecute an entire group of people, and how did this work out for us? As a nation, people decided that just because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, all people of Japanese ancestry were bad. Some Japanese-Americans were thrown into internment camps, many of them third or fourth generation Americans. For even suggesting this, the Republican National Committee should demand Trump withdraw from the race.

People are now more comfortable being openly racist and bigoted because of Trump. Now, it’s trending that people can say whatever they want without social punishment because of him. All of the bad things he has said about Mexicans, women, Muslims, along with the narcissistic qualities he possesses pose a threat to the traditional American hospitality and reputation we the people possess.

Even though Trump isn’t our president, he is a political figure who is controlling the majority of the polls, thus making Americans out to be racist people, when in fact it’s just the buffoon who speaks on our behalf. Does the United States really want this man to be the Commander in Chief? One solution would be to hop off the Trump bandwagon. It’s not a joke anymore, people. With the election coming up, we need a leader who can keep his or her comments at bay and do what’s best for the country. Our leader needs to be able to set personal beliefs aside, suck it up, and listen to all the options. Trump does whatever he wants, stepping all over problems, making them worse rather than better.
