USA Today editorial board declares Trump unfit for Presidency

Sometimes you have to just do what's right

USA TODAY's Editorial Board: Trump is 'unfit for the presidency'

He is erratic. Trump has been on so many sides of so many issues that attempting to assess his policy positions is like shooting at a moving target. A list prepared by NBC details 124 shifts by Trump on 20 major issues since shortly before he entered the race. He simply spouts slogans and outcomes (he’d replace Obamacare with “something terrific”) without any credible explanations of how he’d achieve them.

He is ill-equipped to be commander in chief. Trump’s foreign policy pronouncements typically range from uninformed to incoherent. It’s not just Democrats who say this. Scores of Republican national security leaders have signed an extraordinary open letter calling Trump’s foreign policy vision “wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle.” In a Wall Street Journal column this month, Robert Gates, the highly respected former Defense secretary who served presidents of both parties over a half-century, described Trump as “beyond repair.”

He traffics in prejudice. From the very beginning, Trump has built his campaign on appeals to bigotry and xenophobia, whipping up resentment against Mexicans, Muslims and migrants. His proposals for mass deportations and religious tests are unworkable and contrary to America’s ideals.

Trump has stirred racist sentiments in ways that can’t be erased by his belated and clumsy outreach to African Americans. His attacks on an Indiana-born federal judge of Mexican heritage fit “the textbook definition of a racist comment,” according to House Speaker Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking elected official in the Republican Party. And for five years, Trump fanned the absurd “birther” movement that falsely questioned the legitimacy of the nation’s first black president.

His business career is checkered. Trump has built his candidacy on his achievements as a real estate developer and entrepreneur. It’s a shaky scaffold, starting with a 1973 Justice Department suit against Trump and his father for systematically discriminating against blacks in housing rentals. (The Trumps fought the suit but later settled on terms that were viewed as a government victory.) Trump’s companies have had some spectacular financial successes, but this track record is marred by six bankruptcy filings, apparent misuse of the family’s charitable foundation, and allegations by Trump University customers of fraud. A series of investigative articles published by the USA TODAY Network found that Trump has been involved in thousands of lawsuits over the past three decades, including at least 60 that involved small businesses and contract employees who said they were stiffed. So much for being a champion of the little guy.

He isn’t leveling with the American people. Is Trump as rich as he says? No one knows, in part because, alone among major party presidential candidates for the past four decades, he refuses to release his tax returns. Nor do we know whether he has paid his fair share of taxes, or the extent of his foreign financial entanglements.

He speaks recklessly. In the days after the Republican convention, Trump invited Russian hackers to interfere with an American election by releasing Hillary Clinton’s emails, and he raised the prospect of “Second Amendment people” preventing the Democratic nominee from appointing liberal justices. It’s hard to imagine two more irresponsible statements from one presidential candidate.

He has coarsened the national dialogue. Did you ever imagine that a presidential candidate would discuss the size of his genitalia during a nationally televised Republican debate? Neither did we. Did you ever imagine a presidential candidate, one who avoided service in the military, would criticize Gold Star parents who lost a son in Iraq? Neither did we. Did you ever imagine you’d see a presidential candidate mock a disabled reporter? Neither did we. Trump’s inability or unwillingness to ignore criticism raises the specter of a president who, like Richard Nixon, would create enemies’ lists and be consumed with getting even with his critics.

He’s a serial liar. Although polls show that Clinton is considered less honest and trustworthy than Trump, it’s not even a close contest. Trump is in a league of his own when it comes to the quality and quantity of his misstatements. When confronted with a falsehood, such as his assertion that he was always against the Iraq War, Trump’s reaction is to use the Big Lie technique of repeating it so often that people begin to believe it.

We are not unmindful of the issues that Trump’s campaign has exploited: the disappearance of working-class jobs; excessive political correctness; the direction of the Supreme Court; urban unrest and street violence; the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group; gridlock in Washington and the influence of moneyed interests. All are legitimate sources of concern.

Leftists hate Trump?

Who knew?

Next you'll say Carlos Slims' NY Times is against him...

 

[Uncensored2008]

USA Today is a conservative newspaper with a huge circulation

They have never before endorsed a candidate for President. This time, they thought he danger so severe, they had to declare Trump unqualified

And Karl Marx was an avid Capitalist....

The shit you fling, shitflinger...

 

[Uncensored2008]

Trumps probably only fit for a nut house or a padded room. The national disgrace need to seek help.

Anyone that would consider Trump for president is sick in the head.

You looking for a cell mate, Adolf?

 

[Uncensored2008]

USA Today.

Now that's funny.

It's the worst liberal rag out there.....

The NY Times is worse, but Useless Rag Today is a FAR left pile of trash.

BFD all these supposedly important newspaper endorsements going to Hillary and yet the race is basically tied. You know that might mean endorsements don't mean much if anything anymore.

Should I show you a thread from 2012 or 2008 where you guys said the race between Obama and McCain/Romney was close? Please don't make us laugh with this "it's close" bullshit. You wish. If Trump would have done well at the debates maybe but not only did he not do well, he's proving Hillary was right that you can unhinge this guy with a tweet.

Let's forget the opinions of journalist hacks. clinton's compromising America's security on the email system should render her unfit for office, if not for jail. You can find some military men who say Trump's unfit. I can counter with military men on Trump's side.

Investigated and charges were found unwarranted

Charges were obvious to any who watched. The only thing that lackey comey said was that there was no intent, therefore, no punishment. It was obvious to anyone that she compromised our national security. To what extent, we don't know due to the bleaching. She's either too stupid to be trusted with national security, or she's dishonest. I don't think she's stupid.

The democrats have absolute control of the major print media.

The problem is that the major print media is dying. The NY Times is the print equivalent of DailyKOS, but I wonder which of those partisan piles of shit has more readers?

The radical left press has little influence because their target audience isn't interested in print media. The average leftist moron gets their news from Comedy Central - look at the retards here?

I don't think Silly Bonobo DOES think it's "racist."

Bendog thinks not voting democrat is racist, so his opinion is worthless.
