Sorry if it comes out looking ugly. I'm a noob to text-posting.

Trump is a man who disrespects the military by insulting POW's saying he "likes people that weren't captured."[2][3] To be a POW represents one of the greatest--and for some, the ultimate--sacrifices one can make for their country. Members of the armed services rightfully hold them in the highest regard. This is a terrible insult to me, my family, and all of us who serve or have served in the military. It inspired me to compose the entirety of this plea to your sense of judgement.

In the first debate, he criticized his opponent saying that she "is telling ISIS exactly what she plans to do."[4] Implying you don't want to speak about your plan because it will give intelligence to the enemy is a weak attempt to cover the likely possibility that you have no plan of your own. There is a vast difference between a broad doctrine of approach and the specific tactical execution of that doctrine. I expect more from a man who "[knows] more about ISIS than the generals do."[1]

He stated that the military "would not refuse [him]"[9] if he ordered them to commit war crimes. Members of the US military are specifically trained NOT to obey orders that violate the Law of Armed Conflict. I would know, I've done the training myself. Suggesting that terrorist's families deserve to be targeted with military force because one terrorist's wife allegedly knew about the September 11th attacks is a very, very slippery slope. ISIS also uses propaganda encouraging acts of terror on Americans who have no direct military involvement in the conflict. We do not want to become our enemy. As philosopher Friedrich Nietzche said:

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

This is a man who demanded our current president provide his birth certificate to prove he was born an American and yet he refuses to disclose his own tax records. He has denied claiming "global warming is a hoax invented by the Chinese..."[6] Even if you don't believe global warming is real, the man is still a liar and, what's worse, a terrible one at that. The tweet is still up.

He cheered for the housing crisis of 2008 wherein millions lost their jobs saying "that's called business by the way."[5] I was personally affected by this when my father was laid off and had to take a job out-of-state shortly before I finished high school. I'm sure it adversely affected many of you all as well, but if the rich got richer then hey, "[it's] called business."

Only two years ago this man tweeted his ignorant anti-vaccination stance.[7] Vaccinated individuals are the only hope those who medically can't be vaccinated have against contracting certain diseases.

He encouraged voters to look up a fabricated pornographic tape involving an individual who spoke against him for his opponent's campaign.[8] What an incredibly unprofessional and humiliating move that is. If he can't handle such a minor attack with grace then how could he be expected to professionally handle a tense geopolitical climate?

What's further, insinuating that such a tape, even if it did exist, is part of some shady past is a poorly-veiled insult to women. The idea of a woman's openness about her sexuality being detrimental to her moral character is long antiquated, clearly sexist, and simply disgusting. How has it come to the point where a presidential candidate publicly slut-shaming an individual is considered acceptable?

He claimed not paying taxes "makes [him] smart."[9] I suppose those of us who can't afford to pay for expensive accountants and lawyers to navigate the unfathomably complex tax code for us are just stupid then. We complain about those who take advantage of social welfare programs and then want to elect this man who doesn't pay anything at all?

I do not for one second believe trump cares about American citizens. I believe Trump only cares about Trump. He'll flatter us calling us "great Americans," repeatedly state "he's a great leader" and propagate baseless fear-mongering rhetoric to make you think he has a plan to "make America great again." It is not up to the leader himself, but to those who follow to decide whether or not he or she is "great."

I'm not saying vote Hillary. I don't care much for her myself after the DNC manipulation and of course the email controversy. Vote for a moldy sack of potatoes for all i care. I expect politicians and big-time businessmen to be liars and hypocrites to varying degrees. But please do not vote for this incompetent, ignorant, sexist, selfish, unprofessional, anti-scientific, ego-maniacal travesty of our electoral system.

Even a dog will "speak his mind" and "tell it like he sees it" but that doesn't mean there is anything intelligent or worthwhile within his incessantly obnoxious barking.

[1] ISIS

[2] POW's

[3] POW ad This one is admittedly a Hillary campaign ad, however it consists only of Donald Trump's own words and an actual WWII POW's point of view. It does contain some somber music to tug at your heartstrings, but it features subtitles so mute it if you don't want to be affected by the bias.

[4][5][9] On ISIS; On trade and economic policy

[6] Chinese hoax tweet

[7] Anti-Vaccination

[8] Pornographic tape tweet
