What?
You don't know?
He's just a "trumped up" celebrity with silly hair, a popular TV show and a bankrupt hotel?
Oh, OK....
Trump as President of the United States, and being elected to the position of most powerful man on Earth, is a joke. A joke of the worst kind. I'd vote for Jeb Bush and a desklamp as running mate before him.*

First why are you so upset at the mere mention of Trump??????? Sounds more personal than just "he's not qualified".
Secondly, when I was younger my dad told me the president is a figurehead, he surrounds himself with advisors and they help him make decisions. While the decision is ultimately the President's the advisors (cabinet) are far more qualified in their fields. NO MAN can know everything, and my belief is Trump (who has never had to come forward with any political stance because he has never run for office) would surround himself with the most qualified people possible regardless of party.
Plus, Trump has what 2 years and a few months, before primary season, to come forward on his policies?
What was Bush's or Kerry's or whomever's stance on those issues????? Weren't they all pretty much partyline dictated????? My belief is Trump would cross party lines, find people who are the best in their fields and let them do their job and advise him..... then take that advice weigh the options and make educated decisions NOT based on party lines but based on what is BEST for the country as he sees it (which is what the president's office is all about).
Would Trump make mistakes????? Most certainly (every president does), however, he admits his mistakes and he given his history he has always corrected them, learnt from them and has come back stronger.
Granted his ego is extreme, but so was everyone else's who ever has become president.
I just firmly believe that Trump is the man who could put partisan politics aside and get what was needed done...... done. AND THAT IS WHY YOU VOTE FOR A PRESIDENT, YOU VOTE FOR WHO WILL GET THINGS DONE.
The only problem........... Trump probably (99.99% sure of this) will never run for president, so all this is a moot point anyway.
And speaking of California, what were Schwarzenegger's qualifications to run the state with the world's 8th largest economy?????
In the high office, it's truly not the stance (anyone can say anything and take a stance just to win), it is ACTIONS that are most important, and Trump IMHO has shown time and time again that even through adversity he knows how to get things done and surrounds himself with the best people to make sure they get done...... and to me that IS THE greatest presidential trait any man can have. When Trump has fucked up, he says, "I fucked up." he doesn't blame publicly the advisor because he is man enough to accept responsibility. And when Trump fucks up, after he admits it, he works his damnedest to correct the fuck up.
He may not be perfect but I would rather see Trump than some manicured, well versed, groomed from birth politician who knows what to say and how to say it, become president. Trump isn't perfect, but he isn't a career politician that has spent his lifetime saying whatever he needs to to get elected.
I would rather elect a man on principle and my belief he can get the job done, than some guy who takes his party's line and says whatever he has to, to get elected. I don't think Trump would ever kowtow to anyone, Trump has proven to me time and time again he is his own man and if that is not what a true president needs to do, then let's keep electing by party..... and going down the shitter.
I don't want a man selling me piss and saying it's lemonade and having a political party tell him to add sugar or Nutra-sweet. I'd rather have a man say, "don't drink the piss, let me get some real lemonade." And IMHO that man is Trump.
