Trump's original message was great. He pointed out that he was rich and knew what to fix and that he was the only candidate whi was actually pointing that out - since all the other candidates (rep & dem) never made that an issue. But the tax plan he released does nothing to get rid of the loopholes he promised to get rid of. He said from the start that the rich would get a tax deduction, but he also said he would get rid of the loopholes, and I don't see that in his tax plan.

Well, what do you think his motivation to run for president is? He isn't a career politician like her. He has even said that he didn't want to run for president but felt like he had to after seeing the condition of our country.

He didn't run to help the country. He ran for his ego, which I'm fine with. I don't care why someone runs, as long as they actually do the **** they say and we want while they're in office. That's why I'm voting for Trump, because he at least has a chance to do that, whereas Hillary Clinton does not. In fact, I always argue that he will want to be a great president because of his ego.
I don't even understand how she's able to spin this. Somehow, she has people convinced that: - Every American should want to pay the maximum amount of taxes
- Someone who has cleverly navigated around tax laws is unqualified to fix tax laws

That's Trump's fault. Instead of arguing that he knew the problems with the taxes because he's had first-hand experience exploiting loopholes, he just said he was a genius for doing that. Now he let something that at first glance appears bad but could have been used in his favor, to now be used against him even more.
Climate change is currently (in my opinion) the biggest issue and if we don't act right now the damage is irreversible - so yes, having a president who doesn't just deny it, but wants to promote unclean energy will do a lot of damage.
Compare that to Hillary's stance: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/climate/
There's definitive proof that climate change is real and is happening right now, anyone who says otherwise is just being ignorant or has motives for saying otherwise. |
I respectfully disagree. Not with your opinion on clime change, but your opinion on the candidates' opinions on it. The thing is that what Hillary Clinton said is nice and dandy, but it's not realistic. I'm sure there's not a single politician in America that would rather be using oil than solar energy. The problem is a matter of efficiency. She wants to reduce oil in cars by a third, but replace it with what? There's nothing as efficient as oil currently. Even electric cars use electricity which is - guess what! powered by coal. I do believe what we use is hurting the environment, but what politicians say about climate change in order to get elected is unrealistic.
