The Donald for President? Barf

Television star and frequent debt scofflaw, The Donald, is talking about running the country because his richness qualifies him to do so.

Don't get me wrong, I like most rich people, especially when they give me money to do stuff, and I think democrats are freaking out over the thought of a "populist" television star taking on their failing socialist encumbant, but this guy is right out of Hayek's Road to Serfdom. Here's what this fascist clown espouses:

1. Trump's gonna teach those sneaky Orientals a lesson by slapping a 25% tariff on Chinese imports. Don't fall for Trump's anti-Chinese, Smoot Hawley jingoism. China does us a great favor by giving us lot's of stuff in exchange for green pieces of paper. That is a relationship that should be encouraged, not denigrated.

2. Trump's going to make OPEC sell us cheap oil. Don't fall for Trump's anti-Arab jingoism. The price of oil is rising because WE ARE DEVALUING OUR MONEY. We, or more appropriately, Ben Bernanke, is doing it to us. Stop printing money to bail out Wall Street thieves and the value of the dollar will stop falling.

3. Trump will not cut $1 from the military spending. Don't fall for Trump's corporate welfare pledge. We spend more on bombs and bullets than the rest of the world put together and it is a waste. There is no threat to our sovereignty. An invasion of America would be, in the late Admiral Yamamoto's estimation, a suicide mission, considering we have a 2nd Amendment (in addition to 5000 nukes).

Do not fall for Trump's populism. He is a fraud and no conservative in any traditional sense. He's an opportunist who will morph into a Mahattan Mussolini if elected. Let him stick to television.

On the other hand, Trump has filed multiple bankruptcies which may make him an ideal candidate for CEO of Amerika.
