Donald Trump: The "small loan of a million dollars" man who is running for President of the US. You can say he is controversial and I definitely believe that he is. He wants to build a giant wall between the US and Mexico. He wants to kick out Muslims because of ISIS and that we don't know who is part of it or not. He's extremely racist and sometimes, it just makes me question what exactly is he trying to achieve by doing this. Shown in the video above, Trump supporters are cheering at the Muslim is taken out from the rally when she was silently protesting showing that not all Muslims are terrorists.
I want to start a discussion. Should Donald Trump be continued to run for President? Technically speaking, he's going against American values of freedom, and equality for all. I don't think he should. [insert above information here]

I just heard bits and bits of news about this guy and I could now see why there are so much issues about Donald Trump. As you said, he is going against American values. Rumors about him being a fascist is spread out on media. But there are still people who do support him. He has great manipulation skills. Looking at his ideas, it's REALLY horrifying how America would become if he becomes president. I just can't imagine. I wish he'd stop his presidential campaign, but he is an unstoppable force by the moment.

What Trump is doing to make a fool of himself to grab all the attention he can. It isn't even election season yet and he's throwing all this crap to get attention. I mean unless you are really into politics, you wouldn't even know who the heck the other candidates are for the Republicans. ISIS and illegal immigrants are a big problem in the U.S right now that's why he mentions them to draw attention. Even though it is a dumb tactic, he is soaring high in votes right now, but in the end he'll lose of America would be like the crappiest country ever in history.

If what Jonathan is saying is true, Donald Trump's strategy reminds me of the game "Hatred", which purposely made itself as an over the top violent game. It made tons of controversy on the media, but in the end: www.gamezone.com/news/despite-controversy-hatred-is-a-steam-top-seller-3417142It became a top seller when it came out. If political controversy translated to votes the same way video game controversy translates into sales, Donald Trump has no reason to lose. ... |

What I see is that he's just missing the power to achieve of what he wants of what seems "good" to the entire country, literally with all his money giving him reputation, attracting everyone that a rich president is always good. Therefore I don't think that he should be president because it'll ruin everyone, because what it seems like it'll give a bad name to the US

I strongly agree that he shouldn't!! Donald Trump made numerable racist comments and even proposed muncool deportation! That is violating the 14th Amendment of US Constitution which clearly states that "no state shall deny to ANY person...EQUAL protection of the law". If Donald Trump becomes the president of United States, I'm afraid that United States will no longer be nation but a white supremacist factory.

I think he's just being agro right now. I mean, he's probably trying to get all the attention so that everyone in America actually know him . I'm not really a politician guy but to me it is obvious that he shouldn't be allowed to run as the president. He is ignoring US's law of freedom and is very racist.

I mean, his racist comments are absurd and he tends to take things to its extremes. And if he becomes the president, I expect so much things to change. We can definitely count on few wars to begin that may even begin WW3. And then as Jooyoung said, he clearly violates the 14th amendment.
Even so, who cares? If this is what the Americans want, I think it is right that Trump keep running. It is the Americans that made the rules- if the majority of the Americans want Trump, the rules can be rewritten. Personally, I'm terrified of the possibility that Trump can become the president. I would be joining the Korean army the next year and I can certainly count on a war if Trump becomes the president of the U.S.

The election this year for president should be interesting. It's too late now for us to complain about Donald Trump running for president because he's on a roll and with all of this recognition, good or bad, he is not going to drop this opportunity. We may see a totally new revolution in America once again. However, because of the cultural diversity in America that is already taking place it will be hard for Trump to go against the liberty. America is no more a land of white supremacy. I sure hope it does not go back to that situation. We can never predict how the power will impact Trump if he wins the election.

Not to offend any Donald Trump supporters, but I am against Trump for president. He already lacks the background and history necessary to successfully run a country - he always brags about his numerous business successes, but they can't serve as the substitute for political experience. The United States shouldn't be viewed as another moneymaking corporation, as we aren't defined by our economy, but by our people. We need to advocate America through the ethnic diversity it has created, not the amount of money owned by the federal government. Furthermore, the policies he is proposing, especially with Muslims, are violations of the right offered by the First Amendment, which should have been the cause to already kick him out of the race. He needs to learn that his xenophobic perspective doesn't work in the "mixing pot" of the United States. His comments produce a negative image of America as a nation afraid and distrusting of the Muslim population. This isn't necessarily a good thing, but we have probably done more to Native Americans and African Americans than the Muslims, and banning Muslims sets a focus on the 21st-century treatment of this people.

That was really interesting. I will look up to see if Donald Trump has any reaction to this, that's gonna be fun to watch. But yeah I think he succeeded. He got the attention he was looking for. And again, we've got to see a great example of muncool hysteria and how quickly it affects people. But still I have a lot of faith in humanity. Everyone is nice. I am no one to judge people. The people acting like this, are just being ignorant and I would suggest them to get "proper knowledge" before they react and state their opinion on something. Peace!~~

I do really agree with Jonathan that he wants soooo much attention.. In korean we basically call this kind of people " GwanJong" it's a abbreviation for someone who want attention so bad in a bad way. I remember a video in facebook few weeks ago about him saying "CHINA" for tons of times. Not only the case Jonah talked about, also here is the link for him saying "China". resource: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDrfE9I8_hs. I cannot imagine if he gets elected for being the new president. I do really think that he needs to stop. |

Claiming their own opinion is not bad, however, whenever they hurt other people's feelings by it, it is. Whether people agree or disagree with his opinion, he doesn't know how they are hurting other people's feelings and how they are putting a big wall between their hearts. Just like them, everybody doubt their safety about foreign people. However, we try to break the wall and have an open mind about them because we want to understand and uncoolociate with the nice people who we can be friends with. I don't think his racism will help any children to think in an appropriate mind and I worry about it. Just because there was a murderer in Korea doesn't mean all of the Koreans are murderers. Sometimes when we go study abroad, we've all have once been questioned if we ever saw the North Koreans or if we are related with the nuclear bomb thing. Whenever we hear this, we feel lost and humiliated even though they are asking because they don't know what they're saying. Hurting people's heart and making walls between them is the worst thing the man is doing. His opinion hurts people. That's definitely not the person who has the right to be a president for the United States.

I think that what Trump wants is attention so that he can get his audience to grow, but this only makes me wish he wasn't running even more. It indicates that he doesn't care about everyone in the country but only a select few that agrees with his statement. The argument that he should be kicked out of the race is supported by the fact that his racist comments could be seen as unconstitutional and I worry what he'd do if he had the power to act on things as brashly as he speaks about them. No leader can be perfect and please everyone, but Trump is not a leader. He is a noisemaker who is poisoning vulnerable minds.

He is just telling his opinion to people. I think that is a part of human rights, where we get to tell our opinions. But when it comes to presidential voting, people need to think twice. Is this guy going to do what he is telling now or not? I wouldn't vote for him, because it is so obvious that he is super racist and a psycho path.
