Orange Man

 

        President Donald Trump has proven, in the past,  to be the most uniquely unqualified president in history. In the office's 277-year existence, every president, from George Washington to Barack Obama, has participated in political or military service. Still, our most recent president does not have quite the same credentials. Mr. Bone Spurs! Our nation's movie star, who previously starred in a supporting role in the film Home Alone, has proven that experience in politics or the military is entirely unnecessary to be president. After all, he spent years as a hotel and golf course manager, a precursor to leading a whole nation for four years. His voter base has made it clear that this experience is worth just as much as the political backgrounds of other candidates.

        Although many ponder whether Trump can genuinely lead an economy, he has shown more than enough evidence that he knows how to use money. The first, only, and most significant example: he knows how to commit tax fraud. If Trump can pull off paying fewer taxes than a teenager working a part-time job, there must be some creative juices in his brain that people are missing. If you got a dollar for every time Trump claimed something as fake news, you might have as much money as Trump has not paid in taxes.

        However, if there is one thing he is truly good at, it would be his amazing ability to criticize. Trump can demolish any other candidate when it comes to a competition of who can bring up the most unnecessary and irrelevant points, as picking fights with other politicians like a middle school breakup is very important. For example, Trump once went on about former President Barack Obama's hobby of playing golf and how devastating it is that we Americans pay for it; however, taxpayers can rest easy knowing their precious tax money is going to a good cause, like securing Trump Tower.

        Many people initially doubted Trump's ability to lead this country, but he has showcased his ability to handle such a position multiple times. One of the skills Americans have undoubtedly noticed is his ability to utilize some incredibly complex technology: Twitter and Truth Social. Past presidents have tried to use modern technology to express and advertise their political face, but none have succeeded as much as Trump. Trump completely changed the playing field by showing his competition with his contemporary yet also slightly immature writing techniques, conveying that he is genuinely a versatile man when it comes to communication.

        Looking beyond Trump's political attributes, nothing identifies a powerful man more than having over 25 sexual misconduct allegations. What speaks to leadership and the ability to take charge more than taking over the body of another person? 

        In the past years of office, Trump has shown that he is not like other presidents and has turned a new leaf for the gold standard of leadership. From now on, future presidents will be expected to engage in middle school gossip, perfect their art of bigotry, and learn how to use money resourcefully to lead the way for a smart economy.

         Donald Trump is running for one of the most important and influential positions on earth despite being profoundly, fundamentally, and objectively unqualified to do so.

        And this isn't about politics. There is room for political disagreement in a polite society. No matter what political position Donald Trump took, I would condemn him in the strongest terms. There is much about his personality to be turned off, but that is minor. The fact that he has even a chance of becoming president is horrifying.

        Without getting into politics or even positions that any given person might find objectionable, Donald Trump has zero relevant experience, no knowledge or expertise that gives him any insight into how to lead a country. His policy positions are either frustratingly vague or laughably unworkable, or some combination of both. This indicates that he has no clue what he's doing.

        Moreover, he's temperamentally unsuited for the role. He's crude, angry, shockingly impulsive, vain, and self-obsessed, virtually incapable of admitting error, and he openly boasts that making threats to force concessions is his preferred method of operation.

        Now, all that would make him a loudmouth I'd want to avoid, but some people might find entertaining. But now he's gone from joking about our entire political process to threatening the future of our country. He clearly shouldn't be in the role of running for a second term but remains there out of narcissism and unjustified self-confidence.

        Worst of all, if I truly believed he cared about helping the country, I'd have some compassion for him, but I don't. I'm convinced he's in this race for his brand and ego. Damaging the country I love for his sake earns my loathing like few other things could.
