My political views aside, this needs to be said. This is not an attack on the Republican Party. This is not even an attack on Trump. I am using all quotes of what he has said and offering minimal insight on how I feel.
Recently, more and more people have supported or endorsed Donald Trump, including our Governor Chris Christie. I believe that as American citizens we should be as educated as possible before making a decision on who to vote for in the upcoming presidential election. So, I have compiled things that I believe everyone should know before you vote to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.
From the get-go he has treated this election like a joke. It was a joke at first, but now it has become a very scary reality.
Here's a Trump quote from 1998.
If you are a republican, why would you vote for someone who insults your intelligence? More recently, he had some things to say on the Iowa Caucus.
“How stupid are the people of Iowa?” - Donald Trump
If you are a woman and voting for Donald Trump, there are some things you should know. He spoke about sexual assault in the military in 2013, claiming, "26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together?"
He has frequently belittled women. During one of the Republican debates earlier this year he was offended by Fox news host Megyn Fox, and his response to her questioning was “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.” Not only attacking journalists, he even attacked his fellow colleague Carly Fiorina, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” Any woman in support of Trump should also check out this video of his response to Rosie O'Donnell.
How can any self-respecting woman support this?
Going back to Trump's recent endorsements, he recently gained support from the very well-known KKK (Ku Klux Klan). Trump was interviewed by CNN and asked if he would reject and disapprove of their endorsement and this was his response.
He completely ignored the question and said that he cannot make judgments on groups he knows nothing about. Do you support the KKK? If you don't, Trump is probably not your guy anymore.
These are just a few of the many things Donald Trump has said in the past year or so. If you're really still not sure, check out his Twitter. Here are some of his actual tweets from this year via Forbes.
And here are some more:
Whoever you're voting for, make sure you educate yourself. This is an important decision.
