I would like to take a quick moment to educate the Redditors who may now know about what Trump stands for and continually hear nasty ad hominems thrown at him by the Bernie Sanders dominated Reddit demographic. You'll likely be surprised just how different Trump is compared to the misleading and sensationalist headlines you read on online left wing sites like like TYT, /r/politics, Vox, Buzzfeed...etc.
This is what Trump's platform is:

This is what Trump's platform is:
- No more nation buildingin the Middle East. He was also calling the Iraq War a mistake way before it was cool to do so.
- Lower and middle class tax cuts.
- Focus on American jobs.
- Doesn't want the government charging interest on student loans: "That’s probably one of the only things the government shouldn’t make money off. I think it’s terrible that one of the only profit centers we have is student loans".Open to student loan forgiveness programs.
- Wants to audit the Federal Reserve.
- He's genuinely against TPP.
- Wants to allow states to legalize marijuana: "Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen - right? Don't we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states."
- Doesn't have any special interests groups funding him unlike the other candidates. Has called for all candidates to return the money they're getting back to Super PACsand to remove special interest groups from our election process.
- Likes universal healthcare, is open to replacing America's broken system with something similar to Canada.
- Moderate on social issues (e.g. affirmative action, women's health, gay rights)
- Focus on broad-based American nationalism instead of narrow and divisive race and gender identity politics.
- Acknowledgement that political correctness is obnoxious.
- Desire to put America first in trade deals instead of pure Wall Street globalism that exploits third world workers abroad and destroys domestic jobs.
- Realist based foreign policy. (e.g. deal with Putin if it is in our national interest to do so, even if he isn't a nice guy).
- National pride. The man loves his country and thinks it is the best. Every country should have a leader like that.
- Diversity: he employed women in leadership roles before it was popular to do that. And he did it in the construction industry of all places.
- He has absolutely nothing against legal immigration, he's encouraged it many times. His grandparents are immigrants, his wife is an immigrant, several of his closest business partners in New York are immigrants. He is against uncontrolled, illegal immigration.
- Hugely successful businessman, knows how to manage money, how to invest for the future and a fantastic negotiator.
- Unlike other candidates, his economic plan actually makes sense. It would result in "an 11 percent higher GDP, a 29 percent larger capital stock, 6.5 percent higher wages, and 5.3 million more full-time equivalent jobs".
- Take a look at this video of him back in 1991 talking about how to utilize the upper class to re-invest in America or face higher taxesdeeply interested in the economic welfare of America, and he can't be bought.
If you're still sceptical and think he's a nazi sexist racist Hitler, ask yourself: How can he possibly be worse than what politician after politician after politician does in office? What's he going to do, piss off an ally by spying on them? Inflame other countries by bombing their hospitals and schools and then calling it acceptable collateral damage? Spend more money than we don't have? Pass laws for things with good intentions, like healthcare for people who don't have it, without considering some of the gigantic gaping holes in getting it out there...like a working website to sign up for it in the first place? Sit on his ass and do nothing while OPM has the biggest leak of clandestine and TS information in the history of mankind? Bail out gigantic banks instead of busting them up after they fukked around and lost billions of dollars and screwed over half of the globe? Have the most non-secretive affair ever? Then lie about it and spend a million man hours talking about who he did or did not fukk instead of governing? Cause gas lines and shortages, fail to rescue hostages from a shythole by piss poor planning? Invade a country and blow it to shyt without figuring out how to get back out of said country, after we just did the same thing 40 years prior? Seriously...how the fukk could Trump be WORSE than the parade of human turds in suits that march into the Capitol and White House every day, every year? He can't. He's the only one whose personal livelihood does not depend on contributions from outside parties, he's the only one who can stand up there and just say whatever the hell he wants without carefully walking on eggshells to not offend special interest groups.
The sheer fact that he's universally hated by every one of those lying out of touch idiots that are currently in politics makes me want to vote for him as King let alone President. Trump is rebuilding the GOP from the inside out, he's mixing New York moderate social values and nationalist pride, basically using the Republicans as a platform to run as an independent. This is what he said last night:
“If you look at any of the elections I've been in, every single election has been record-setting. And the good news is for the Republican party, the Democrats are getting very poor numbers in terms of getting them in…New people are coming into the Republican Party. We are building a new Republican Party a lot of people are getting in.”
Go Trump. Tear down these clowns.
