I recall in another thread you saying Hillary Clinton would've been worse. We'll never know. But I do think Trump represents the far greater risk. I think Clinton would've basically had things continue along status quo. Minimal disruption. She's a mature individual who understands the world.
I think Trump could cause severe disruptive problems at any time. He acts on impulse. He's emotionally immature. He doesn't understand the world. He doesn't know what's going on.
Another thing is that I don't think he's "Pro" anything except "Pro" himself. I think he said what he said about workers, borders, etc. during the campaign because he saw that got a good reaction and he could advance his own interests by saying them. If he decided it would be in his interest to say the opposite tomorrow he'd turn on a dime and do that.
Just like he said that in the first 100 days he'd get China designated as a currency manipulator then last week he says they're not a currency manipulator. Or how he said NATO is obsolete then recently said they're not obsolete anymore because NOW they're going to fight terrorism even though the only time the charter's ever been invoked was to assist the United States in fighting terrorism back in the early 2000s. Or like he said during the campaign that he was going to get rid of the one China policy then shortly after getting inaugurated told China he supports the one China policy.
Oh, and Mexico was going to pay for the wall but now there are rumblings that he wants to use the prospect of a government "shutdown" as leverage to try to get American Taxpayers to pay for the wall. The wall that all the border States oppose building and all the Congressmen representing border districts, both Democrat and Republican, oppose by the way.
Meanwhile he and his family still have all their manufacturing operations oversees. On and on. What the guy says isn't worth the air the words are carried by.
