"His plans are terrible" as an argument is just as worthless as "He has small hands". If you were to tell me why his plans are terrible, then I'll listen.

 

Copied and pasted from an earlier post...

What is crazy is that a majority still view him better with the economy.  What are his economic plans?  His tax plan is more of the same old tax cuts for mainly the rich with barely any cut for the rest.  Trickle down doesn't work and wages have been near stagnant since the 80s for everyone except the ultra rich.  His camp argues that this would somehow increase revenue by spurring the economy but if you look back to the Bush and Reagan tax cuts one can see it only added to the deficit.

Starting trade wars won't bring manufacturing back to the USA because other countries would just raise tariffs on our good.  Sure you can raise tariffs on certain goods such as Chinese steel which they have been dumping on market lately but a blanket increase on all goods would be stupid (I believe we tried this right before the Great Depression 29-39 and it just made matters worse).

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

First he says he would raise the min wage then he says we don't need a min wage.  He flip flops on issues more than anyone (makes John Kerry look like a non flip flopper).  I am not the all wise knowing of economics but the things he says about economics makes it sound like he studied from the voodoo economics playbook.

Argue against any of that.   I'd like to see you try.  He sits there on stage saying he will make everyone so rich and the country so great when in fact his plans will do the exact opposite.  The only thing I agree with him on is increased infrastructure spending.  However, I'd rather see the Civilian Conservation Corps revived and major infrastructure projects assigned to them.

Were some of my poll choices questionable? Yes but most of them are still relevant. Take the small hands joke which Rubio helped start and apply it to real life. You know what they say about a small man in a big truck? They are trying to overcompensate with a big vehicle. Now apply that with someone that is in the White House and is trying to overcompensate. Instead of big vehicles you have one of the most powerful armies, nuclear weapons, and many more. He would be more inclined to use these things to overcompensate for his tiny demeanor.



Strange that the racism isn't on this list... I definitely would think the Racism will be a big issue for most people, or at least I would hope it would be.

Wow, I don't like Trump at all and I won't be voting for him, but do you people read what you're posting out loud? I've never seen such doom, gloom, and hyperbole.

You've been on VGchartz since 2007 you've lived through the PS3 having no games, the Vita, the Wii-U and the X1 launch. I do not believe this post to be true! :D

Like someone already said the poll needed a all of the above option. Even if he looses which hopefully he will, his ego is big enough that he will try to run again in four years.

Say it ain't so.  I know he made plenty of recent plunders with foreign policy such as saying Russia wasn't in Ukraine, downplayed NATO, and asked Russia to hack Clinton to find her deleted emails, but that just seems too absurd.

That's truly absurd - as if the US hasn't already proven that they are willing to make use of their arsenal of nuclear weapons! In fact, after all, the US is still the only country who has ever actually proven it's willingness to actually make use of their arsenal of nuclear weapons. And more than once!

But if you want to prove that it's wrong to believe that Trump is better with the economy, it's not enough to "prove" that his economic plans are bad - you also have to prove that Killarys economic plans aren't even worse.

Given that he is a successful businessman while Killary isn't, I think it's actually quite obvious why many people expect him to be at least slightly better in economics than Killary.

Actually HC is also a very successful business person as well "Clinton Cash" but we will not get into that one.  What I will ask is why people think success in real-estate translate over to the public sector.  You really cannot run the economy the same way Trump runs his businesses.  Trump runs his business the way most rich people do.  He incorporate those business and if they are not successful he just do not pay his bills.  He still pay himself millions in salary so that his private stash keeps growing but he will not pay the bills and let the company go into Bankruptcy.   This is the reason he has 4 Bankrupted companies already and why in certain cities his non payment of bills has caused huge issues.  Now think about him using that same tactic with the US economy. 

 

Next you have the books Trump has published where he gloats about scamming people to get a deal done.  Now think about Trump doing the same thing with the US economy or with other nations.  It sounds great on the surface for uneducated people to think Trump would be scamming other nations for the US as I have heard some say but what are the long term effects.  If anything, Trump as a businessman is definitely not what I would consider a selling point for him in the White House.

This is exactly why I would urge people TO ACTUALLY VOTE FOR HIM. If your number one reason is a pathetic "he has small hands" or whatever, then you clearly don't have a problem with him. Meanwhile, I can list numerous reasons why not to vote Hillary, corruption being the number one.

Either way, I don't live in America so I'm not voting on either of them.

Actually could you list those reasons so we can compare.  I hope corruption is not the only one since both Trump and HC has a history on both fronts.  Its wheather or not you consider Trump corruption less then HC or do you believe HC will probably not advance more than what it is or lessen since the spotlight is on her but Trump would be out of control.  



So WWIII if Trump wins followed by a nuclear apocalypse. Yeah, no way. Americans are smarter than that.



I'm still not convinced he's any worse of a choice than Clinton. They're both heaping piles of dog shit.

That's a rather difficult to thing to explain as a poll option.   What would you rather the poll said?

Without supporting one side over another: 

 

"Do you feel the statement '________' to be sexist/racist/xenophobic/homophobic?"
