2016 Republican primary candidate Donald Trump has led the 2016 Republican Presidential Primary G.O.P. polls since mid-July, and it is now time for the Donald Trump Show to end. Trump has won the attention of many voters by claiming that the national debt, issues in the Middle East, issues with immigration and more are due to the fact that our elected politicians (especially President Obama) are, in a word, morons. Yes, the past six years of U.S. politics have been a disaster, but, if you really think about it, along with his personality, Trump’s solutions to many of the current issues that we have in our great nation and worldwide are irrational, implausible and counterproductive.

One example of Trump’s insane proposals is his proposal on how to address the issues regarding immigration. Trump believes that the United States – Mexican border needs to be secured by building a wall, which would also be built, and funded, by Mexico. He also said that, if he becomes President, he is going to deport the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants that are currently living in the U.S. today and that he will allow “the good ones” (Trump, 2015) back into the U.S? Just for argument’s sake, let’s say that Trump ends up in the Oval Office and has the chance to put the U.S.’s money (not his money) where his mouth is without having to worry about the system of checks and balances (which will never happen). If he was to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants in a four-year term, he would have to deport approximately 229,167 people per month and approximately 52, 632 people per week. That alone will cost an enormous amount of money, and it would jam up U.S. judicial courts. But that’s not all.

Because there is a more than likely chance that Mexico would refuse to fund and build a wall that would secure the boarder, Trump would also have to use even more of the government’s money in order to follow through with his plan. Lastly, how is the US Department of Immigration supposed to know which immigrants have, and don’t have, a criminal record? Take Mexico for example; if the Mexican government is truly sending their criminals into the U.S. because they don’t want to deal with them anymore, why would the Mexican government ever hand over the criminal records of every Mexican citizen, especially after forcing them to build and fund a wall that they do not even want? I agree that immigration is an important issue, and that it needs to be resolved in the near future, but Trump’s plan is counterproductive. His plan is counterproductive because it would cause more issues than if immigration isn’t addressed altogether. There isn’t a way of predicting what could happen, but the likelihood of a dramatic increase in the national debt, a judicial system gridlock and a whirlwind of social issues is definitely a possibility.

We don’t need to create any more problems than we currently have. Plenty of other candidates, such as Dr. Ben Carson, have expressed that they are also concerned with policies regarding immigration and that it will be addressed in a realistic, moral and somewhat frugal manner if they won the Presidential election. One of them needs to replace Trump as #1 in the polls.

The businessman Donald Trump also wants to run the U.S. government like a business. (Go figure). Yes, Trump might have the know-how to tremendously lower the national debt, but that’s if you exclude his other plans from the equation. If he became president, and was successful in cutting the national debt by a sizable amount, all of that money is just going to be distributed to his other endeavors such as, you guessed it, his immigration plan. We need a President who will be able to address the primary issues that our nation is currently facing while simultaneously cutting a sizable amount of the national debt. It’s a tall order to fill, and it probably won’t be resolved by whoever wins the 2016 Presidential election, but hopefully the next President of the United States of America will set our great nation on the path towards reformation.

Additionally, by running America like a business, there is the possibility of losing the sense of humanity. CEOs of big corporations fire and cut salaries all of the time because all they are worried about is how much money they are going to make. I am afraid that if Trump is elected president in 2016, he will do anything to fix the U.S.’s current economic issues, even if it means that a large majority of U.S. citizens would suffer.

Trump’s abrasive personality is also a concern; it may benefit him in the business world, but in politics you have to know when to compromise and, if need be, apologize. To put it lightly, Trump is not known for having either quality. He won’t be able to bully his way through foreign policy, excessively demand that a bill should be passed, and have the freedom to do whatever he wants because the system of checks and balances prevents him from having those abilities.

Although I firmly stand by everything that I have stated, I do understand and believe that our country is ready to have a Commander-In-Chief with no previous political background. This is why I think so many people are taking a serious interest into Trump's very different political style; however, Donald Trump is not what America needs. The United States of America needs a President that has the ability to prioritize the current issues, significantly decrease the national debt, and handle foreign relations with a firm hand but level head. Additionally, the next President needs to complete these tasks while, simultaneously preserving the dignity and integrity of our country; and Trump’s personality and political views will not allow him to do meet that job description.

I will close in sharing what Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said during the press conference that was held to cover his dropping out of the Republican primary election: “I encourage other Republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same [to consider dropping out], so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive, conservative alternative to the current frontrunner. This is fundamentally important to the future of the [Republican] party, and more importantly to the future of our country.”
