11- He’s anti-immigrant: “Anyone who has entered the US illegally is subject to deportation …. Our enforcement priorities will include removing … millions of recent illegal arrivals.”
12- Trump accused Jews of “great disloyalty” for not backing him despite his support for Israel, thereby perpetuating the anti-Semitic stereotype that American Jews owe their primary allegiance to Israel.
13- His ignorance about government
A president needs to understand how government operates. Trump didn’t know what the nuclear triad was when asked in December’s debate, nor in November’s debate that China wasn’t a party to the Trans-Pacific Partnership,-

-which is intended to counter that country’s economic influence.
14- His bigotry:
Trump has called Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, proposed registering all Muslims and said of a African-American protester, “Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.”

15- Trump proclaimed, “I am the chosen one.” He later said he was joking, but this was a perfect reflection of his real megalomania.

17- He’s bad at economics. Really, really bad.

20- He has no experience serving as an elected official who represents people - we have no idea if he’s even capable of that.

21- He pushes conspiracy theories - how can you trust him to make smart decisions if he takes National Enquirer articles at face value?

His failed campaign promises included eliminating the deficit, and that Mexico would pay for a border wall (they aren’t). He claimed to have a plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days (he didn’t).

He said he’d create jobs with his tariffs, that he’d do it all for free by foregoing his salary (and we’ve spent about 100 times as much as his salary would’ve been just paying for his golf trips; he’s spent more than what his salary is just on golf cart rentals alone).
