Trump is a joke

God help us if Donald Trump is elected president. The man is egotistical, radical and bombastic, and he presents these as his virtues. I see him as having no diplomatic skills, no reasonable skill of persuasion and no honorable skill of leadership. Maybe he should buy a dictatorship in some small country. Then he could fire anyone who disagrees with him and all would be fine.

I would not vote for him if he was running for dog catcher. If we want the United States to be the joke of the rest of the world, we should allow Trump to be president.
