This is my first post. It is an open letter to trump supporters reflecting on what made America great in the first place.
Do you think it’s patriotic to:
- Be a draft dodger
- Criticize war heroes
- Ignore your military and national security advisers
- Create conflicts of interest between yourself and the nation you serve
- Violate the constitutional rights of people who are here legally
- Praise leaders of openly hostile nations
Do you think it’s ethical to:
- Earn a worldwide reputation as a self-serving, lying sociopath
- Proudly acknowledge a long history of tax evasion, legal or otherwise
- Repeatedly use bankruptcy to cut losses when you have the means to make good on them
- Mock the disabled
- Hire and fire people based on appearance
- Refuse to divest your interests from those of the nation and use your office for personal gain
- Routinely demonstrate a severe lack of business ethics
Do you think it’s professional to:
- Use a business model that is fundamentally equivalent to a con/swindle
- Cheat and abuse employees and business associates
- Skip out on contractual debts through threat of legal action
- Display the integrity and honesty of a common thief
- Sign legislation that you obviously haven’t taken the time to read or understand
- Turn every event into a poorly produced game show
Do you think it’s Christian to:
- Be a serial adulterer
- Spew misogynist and bigoted hate speech
- Be one of the least charitable of your (so-called) peers
(even to the point of actively bilking money from a non-profit you control)
- Con people into believing you are “pro-life” when all you do is support “pro-birth” legislation
- Tell someone that it’s okay to refer to your daughter as a “nice piece of ass”
- Tell people that you would “totally date” your daughter (if she weren’t your daughter)
- Jokingly tell an 10 year old girl that you will be dating her in 10 years
The fact is that Trump is very unpatriotic, highly unethical, extremely unprofessional, and anything but Christian. He is wholly lacking the character to hold an office in a nation whose reputation has been built with these fundamental traits. Without these essential qualities, how can any nation call itself great?
