@lordragna37, honestly that's what you sound like... I don't even know why you stand up for him though. Trump has often taken in uninformed positions to rustle up the leaves. Like when he pushed the conspiracy theories around Obama not being a natural-born U.S. citizen. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think highly of Obama but that's just embarassing. Supporting senseless rumors for the sake of publicity (note I said "senseless". Many candidates spread bullshit to get press. In fact most presidents do, too.) shows his level of desperation and also how well he himself knows he doesn't have much to offer. So he weakens his opponents.
Or how about this one, I quote:
"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
- Though he then tried to explain himself by saying something along the lines of "I believe it goes up and down" Well, let's hope we'll survive this one then..
Or more of his China hatred, which frankly would not positively affect american economy. Ironic, considering how much of a great business man he considers himself to be:
"Listen you m-----f------, we're going to tax you 25 percent!" The even sadder part: People are cheering:
So you can see it in context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN7KHWdyrbI
As for China he also loves ignoring the fact that outsourcing was something created by greedy american business men. He makes it seem like China, Mexico and any other countries the U.S. outsourced to, are taking your jobs and businesses.
Trump also loves some sweet undertones of racism in his statements. Consistently promoting "statistics" that claim that people of colour are most likely to commit violent crimes. Or a quote: "Laziness is a trait in the blacks. ... Black guys counting my money! I hate it." Ah, splendid.
And also a touch of sexism. For example his tweet on Hillary, which he shortly after deleted. Lucky for us, the internet forgets nothing. "Hillary can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she could satisfy America?" - just google it. And again, I dislike Hillary, but this is just little kids' banter. You protect a dude who makes such statements on his run for president?
Somebody who spends 30% of his interviews and speeches talking about how much money he made and how awesome that makes him, 30% on racism; be it about building up a wall between Mexico and the U.S. (went well every time in history, 'ay), or how China plots against the U.S., or how black people are a waste of space; 20% on sabotaging everyone else and the rest with just complete non-sense. You do.. well then. Vote for him. Freedom of speech and all.
Lastly, watch this:

Just for the lulz.
If I actually had to vote (not an U.S. citizen) I'd go with Sanders. But doesn't look good for him right now.

I haven't really invested much into the democratic candidates. I just know I'd take any of the three over all the GOP candidates for sure.

@lordragna, elaborate. Obama's a non-natural U.S. citizen? - Don't care.
How Mexican immigration affects the U.S.? - Would feel bad if it was true.. but as it isn't: Don't care.
How outsourcing affects america? - Self-provoked. Feel bad for the citizens who had no part in this. But the economy? The big guys fucked up. So no. Don't care.
I have no personal motives to oppose Trump. I oppose him because he in fact is a joke. So your argumentation doesn't work.
I assume you are like a horse with blinkers, because frankly? As far as treason goes, Trump and Hillary are both A+-students. How did Russia and China use walls lately? I wouldn't assume you mean the Berlin wall and the Great Wall of China. Or do you like shooting yourself in your own foot?
Ah, why did I even bother. Now it makes sense.. you're an open book. You're the by-product of modern society. The poor boy, robbed of his rights by women and anybody out of your race. You don't succeed with women, nor in your job so you end up blaming anyone but yourself. Of course Trump works for you. You're his target group.
Bless your heart. I have no time for pointless conversations.

Got damn @xynox. For someone whose not even America, you know more about the political candidates running for our countries office than 75% of actual Americans, which is really quite f'n sad on the part of our countries voting age adults, and not to mention you're still pretty young only being 19. Kudos! XD

Spoiler Alert: your heads will explode with my opinion
Personally I've been a political agnostic most of my life. Due to all the lobbying and other moneyed forces working in US politics, I personally feel the power of the vote is greatly diminished in modern politics.
I have my issues with both Republicans and Democrats and can't comfortably vote for either, and voting for a third party like Nader has been all those years is almost the same as not voting at all (pretty much all you get with that is the BS superiority complex of "I voted - you didn't I can complain you can't" nonsense.
I like Trump and how he handles (overall not everything verbatim) foreign / domestic policy and the fact that he has his own money and won't be bought by another. In modern US Politics that is huge. He also isn't going to be restrained by that garbage political correctness either. Although I would only roll with Trump for one turn, he seems good at getting to the top and then just imploding so get him out before that happens.
On the other hand I'm feeling the Bern on his economic stances. I believe Sanders really will try to legitimately help the middle class and actually take it to Wall Street who has had it too good for too long. While I find him more corruptible by moneyed interests than Trump, it would probably be a moneyed interest that supports the blue collar American.
Therefore my ideal candidate (here comes the mind explosion) would be like 50% Bernie Sanders and 50% Donald Trump. Since there are no absolutes when it comes to the human mind / condition (or at least not many) this is theoretically possible.
A Sanders v Trump election would (like most other elections tbh, but more so here) that we're just choosing which issues we want to be screwed on and for which group(s) for a few years.
