As millennial college students, a number of you may be familiar with the fact we will be getting a new president next year. The American media have essentially made it their current life mission to cover the path to the next president.

So, basically there are a bunch of politicians fighting their way around each other with the exception of one man. He is Donald Trump. He is not a politician, and he needs to stay away from any sort of politics.

    Why am I taking this position? First of all, he has demonstrated this summer that he has no ability to be professional. He has talked down to women, spoken downright demeaning and misogynist remarks toward them (specifically, his interviewer Megyn Kelly from Fox News). Like a Hollywood celebrity, he loses his patience during other interviews.

     Second of all, he is a businessman. Other than considering a run for president in 2012, he literally has held no public office and has no other major political experience. In other words, why is someone with no experience in government or politics qualified to be the Commander in Chief? A number of American presidents were lawyers, senators, governors and the like before being elected to office. Trump has been a businessman and manager of the several companies he owns. But that is it.

     So, he is unprofessional and he has no political resume. So what? Well, do you want someone who does not realize  how ruthless American politics can be as a frontrunner when he has not even dipped his toes in the shallow part of the political waters? That’s what I thought.

     Thirdly, he also went broke. He declared bankruptcy at least once a number of years ago. Trump basically trusts people who are really good at managing his fortune, and his assets passed his costs. Yes, he recovered, and yes he is very rich now, but my question to Trump is this: if you went broke already, what is stopping you from pushing Congress to pass a crazy budget that makes no sense? How is he going to afford this “Mexican wall” he wants to build against our neighboring country? Although polls show that Republican voters may be in favor of Donald Trump, are his ideals actually in line with the Republican Party?

     According to his political track record, he has appeared to switch parties at least three times. He almost treated it like it was a fad of the day. In the 1990s, he started off as a Republican. Then, he bailed on that and danced between the Democratic Party and calling himself an Independent through the 2000s. In the last four years, he started associating himself with the Republicans again. Talk about a man who had a hard time making up his mind. Do you know what I see? I see another red flag with that.

     As you can see, my opinion is that Trump does not have a lot going for him. While he may be ringing in first through the online polls, I think he has some serious issues that must be resolved before anybody can take him seriously as a candidate for the Republican nomination.
