As I watched the debate last night, it occurred to me why people like Trump;
Because they want to be Donald Trump.
I can see it. You (the collective you, no one specific to this forum) want to be the rich guy, with the beautiful wife, who tells it like it is and kicks butt everywhere he goes. You want to be worth billions, saying what you think, not taking any crap from anybody. You want to be the guy that straightens out that nonsense in Washington, making heads roll with no problem. Who doesn't want to be that guy?!
But just because you want to be Donald Trump doesn't mean you should vote for him.
Because if you vote for him, your life will not change. You will still not have a lot of money, you will still have a tough job, with a boss that you have to keep taking crap from. You can't say what you think all the time, because you have friends, co-workers, family, that don't approve. Your income won't change, your life won't improve. But his life sure will.
And after a while, of your same old life, you'll realize that he used you. Used your vote to make a rich guy into a rich and powerful guy. The same way he used his employees, contractors, wives. Used their goods and services, their lives, paid them if he felt like it. Some people lost the businesses they built for their whole lives, their families had to go without. But Trump kept riding around in limousines, eating at fancy restaurants. You'll realize why Trump has had over 4,000 lawsuits over the last 10 years. Because he's a narcissist and a jerk who uses poor (in his mind, everyone else is poor) people.
You'll see rich people getting even more tax breaks, you'll see other countries dissing the US even more than they already do. You may even see a war somewhere, because someone offended him. You'll see young people coming home in body bags, or with mangled limbs. But, hey, rich guy feels better, he showed them.
You might wish you hadn't voted for the rich, jerky guy, who doesn't think about anyone but himself. Who never even had a single one of his products made in USA. Made in USA costs 20% more than made in China (true fact; shipping from China costs $$$). I guess he couldn't absorb that cost in his $78 ties, wholesale $4.00.
And suddenly, that lady in the pantsuit doesn't seem so bad. She probably wouldn't have gotten us into a war. She offered free college for the kids. She was going to push this country into developing clean energy. She had years of experience dealing with other countries, and years in the Senate. Guess that email thing wasn't that big of a deal. Colin Powell had a private server too, and he's a good guy.
So give that a little thought; why you like Trump. You can never be him. Maybe you shouldn't vote for him either.
