An indictment of Trump for the debates

Mr. Trump, you want to build a wall between us and Mexico. America needs a person to lead who knows how to build bridges not walls. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, you disparaged John McCain, a man who fought for his country and spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war, while you received multiple deferments to avoid serving. You’ve ridiculed the parents of a fallen serviceman. America needs a person to lead who appreciates the men and women who serve our country. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, you referred to women as “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.” America needs a person to lead who respects women. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, in the past you’ve subscribed to various conspiracy theories, including the fairy tale that President Obama is not an American citizen. You claimed that thousands cheered as buildings fell on 9/11, another fairy tale. America needs a person to lead who can tell the difference between fact and fairy tale. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, you have publically mocked a person with a disability. America needs a person to lead who respects all its citizens. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, your response to terrorism is a blanket ban on all Muslims, that is, on one-sixth of entire world’s population. America needs a person to lead who can tell the difference between friend and foe. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, you’ve welcomed White Supremacists into your inner circle. America needs a person to lead who respects all people, regardless of their race. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.

Mr. Trump, you publically raised the specter of assignation by “second Amendment People”. America needs a person to lead who helps defuse violence, rather than incites it. You, Mr. Trump, are not that person.
