Not sure if this is directed at me or at the thread as a whole.

Because repeatedly, people at his rallies chant "white power" and in one reported case, beat up a Latino homeless man in support of him, and his only response to this is "My fans are passionate." Also his campaign is very anti-immigrant, legal or otherwise, with very little being said about other issues. I think he's made a firm stance about various tax issues, but I haven't seen anything in the news about other issues that other candidates are addressing.

If I had to choose between Trump and Clinton, I would choose Clinton. While her background isn't stellar by any means, she does have experience in political office, of which Trump has exactly 0.

Alright, everyone take a seat and let me tell you why Donald Trump is rich. Let's start with his father, Fred Trump. This guy right here was smart. At age 15, he partnered with his mother to create a real estate development company. During his career he built any sort of building you can think of: houses, supermarkets, barracks, apartments. He was also very frugal, to the point of saving unused nails and doing repair work himself. His son, Donald Trump, was given a bunch of money to start his own real estate business in the Manhattan area, while Fred stayed in Brooklyn and Queens. That's his start. His father gave him money to start his business. But wait, there's more. After Donnie decided that affordable housing in Manhattan wasn't bringing in enough cash, he built casinos, one of the more well known ones being the Taj Mahal in New Jersey. Now because of this, his companies owed over $9 billion. Because they could not possibly pay that back, his companies filed for bankruptcy twice, while Trump himself had to pay no money out of pocket. The banks and lenders had to absorb those $9 billion in losses, and business went back to normal for Trump and his companies. Later on, when he expanded even more, his companies were forced to file twice more, with the same situation as before. Trump pays nothing, banks eat the losses, the companies start profiting again. It has nothing to do with Trump actually working for any of his money. He just used loopholes in our own legal system to get himself rich and screw banks and lenders out of their money. Do you really want him to be president?

Sadly there is no easy way to fix this problem. There is no shortcut, no "miracle method" to raise the money. Just a lot of changes to how things work in government and then waiting twenty years for those changes to bear fruit.
If one of the moderators feel like these last few posts belong in Ele's POTUS thread, feel free to move them there and do what you will with this one. As Zelda edited into the OP, this is likely a joke thread that should probably be moved to off-topic.
