Questioning Trump's Temperament and Judgment

DONALD TRUMP'S CLAIM that he possesses better judgment and presidential temperament than Hillary Clinton bears scrutiny, since it would appear to be belied by recent history. Let's consider temperament. Perhaps we will recall the expressions "Lying ted", "Little Marco", and "crooked Hillary." Appellations of this sort would seem to indicate a condescending, vindictive temperament, with a propensity for belittling, in a highly juvenile manner, other people of demonstrably high character. Ted Cruz is an upstanding Christian man of high integrity, and certainly does not deserve to be called "lying Ted" several thousand times. Marco Rubio's physical size, among mature adults, is irrelevant. Hillary has no criminal record. trump has previously described women with what words? "Pig", and "Bitch", among other derogatory expressions. Trump's temperament is such that he goes off like a rocket when someone posts a twitter tweet unfavorable to him. When he is verbally attacked, he obviously considers it prudent to attack right back, twice as hard. That's what children do on playgrounds, when adults aren't watching. These examples are sufficient unto themselves to call into question whether Trump's temperament is level headed, or hot headed. The latter, it would appear. Hillary Clinton has never been heard to make these kinds of comments. As for judgment, the very fact that Trump makes these kinds of comments in front of the entire world would seem to indicate poor judgment. Who among us has not said things of this nature privately, or if not that, at least thought them? But to make such comments in front of millions? Good judgment? Hillary Clinton allegedly walked past a secret service agent while she was first lady, and told him to "fuck off" when he greeted her with a "good morning, ma'am". That may well be, she seems sufficiently arrogant and self absorbed to act like that, but she certainly has enough sense to refrain from this type of behavior when the whole world is watching. When one is in charge of a large corporation, and undergoes no less than four bankruptcies, one's business judgment can be questioned. When one stands in front of eighty million people on television and brags about being smart enough to avoid paying taxes, one might raise questions about both temperament and judgment and temperament. And what about patriotism? When one pays no taxes, one contributes nothing to one's beloved military veterans, for whom Trump has expressed such great admiration. That, plus his oft repeated admiration for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who is quite obviously a ruthless thug, makes one wonder about both Trump's judgment and patriotism. In terms of judgment and temperament, Trump is certainly below Hillary Clinton's level, and more comparable to a grade school student who has suffered the effects of poor parenting..... .PLEASE SHARE THIS WEBSITE WITH OTHERS.
