The clear and present danger of Donald Trump

"IF YOU know that Donald Trump is ignorant, unprepared and bigoted, but are thinking of voting for him anyway because you doubt he could do much harm — this editorial is for you."

"Your support of the Republican presidential nominee may be motivated by dislike of the Democratic alternative, disgust with the Washington establishment or a desire to send a message in favor of change. You may not approve of everything Mr. Trump has had to say about nuclear weapons, torture or mass deportations, but you doubt he could implement anything too radical. Congress, the courts, the Constitution — these would keep Mr. Trump in check, you think."

"But it would be reckless not to consider the damage Mr. Trump might wreak. Some of that damage would ensue more from who he is than what he does. His racism and disparagement of women could empower extremists who are now on the margins of American politics, while his lies and conspiracy theories could legitimize discourse that until now has been relegated to the fringe. But his scope for action should not be underestimated, either. In our upcoming editorials, we will examine some arenas where Mr. Trump has been relatively clear about his intentions — and where presidential powers are mighty. We hope you will read them before you vote."

Thanks to The Washington Post for this report!

Imho, KUDOS to yet another major American newspaper that has rejected Donald Trump in his bid for the presidency! More and more very influential, respected, and well-known newspapers are rejecting Trump. This is catching on like wildfire and voting Americans are reading and listening to what's being said!

Democrats: "Trump is playing the politics of fear! That's bad!"

Also Democrats: "Trump will bring about the end of the world! FLY YOU FOOLS!"

Cognitive dissonance, or blatant dishonesty?

If you agree with the march towards globalism and a borderless, cultureless world- vote for the criminal Hillary.

This is what a lifetime of conditioning does to people.
