Is Donald Trump qualified for the Presidency?[W:74]

The Donald needs to run for city council first.

Then mayor.

Then county supervisors.

Then governor.

Then Federal senator.

Maybe then he might know what he is doing.

Right now however he is totally unqualified and he has his head so far up his wazoo that he don't know if it is daylight or night.

Right now he knows more than ALL the other candidates combined. Right now he is better qualified than ALL the candidates from BOTH parties combined.

PERIOD.
 
He is more qualified to be president than the last TEN Democrat presidents. He is more qualified than ANY of the GOP candidates today. He is definitely more qualified to be president than ANY living Democrat today.

Are you counting Grover Cleveland as 1 of those 10 or 2 of those 10?

Pretty much. I might as well hold even him to the international standards that we need to hold our presidents to today. NO candidate running today has Trump's rapport with world leaders or his skill in expanding an economy.

You didn't answer my question:

PERIOD.

Whatever they're paying you, it's too much.
 
Donald Trump is more than qualified to be President of the United States. He is running A successful multi-billion dollar empire, he had a popular TV show, The Apprentice, he has many business enterprises across the globe, and oh yes, he's running for President. What made obama qualified? He was a Saul Alinski inspired community organizer in Chicago. Wow! But what makes Trump qualified is because he cares about Americans and he wants to protect us by temporarily banning Muslim refugees from entering the country. While Obama is gambling with our lives by bringing in thousands of Muslim refugees that could be infiltrated by ISIS.
 
As previous news has shown, Mr. Trump has proposed multiple policies that horrify audiences. For instance, his proposal that Mexico, a foreign country, should pay to build a defensive wall around our own country. Blaming Mexico for all the illegal immigrants? Completely unacceptable. Having Mexico pay for our own defenses? Extremely unacceptable.
Who does Donald Trump think he is? If he is elected (God forbid), and he does suggest that Congress approve of these actions, it'll never happen. How can Donald Trump even hold the Presidency if everything he proposes is horrible to foreign relations? His Secretary of State would be horrified. About that, here is what the Washington Post thinks his Secretary of State will be:

"Secretary of State: We know that Trump thinks that Hillary Clinton was the worst secretary of state in American history. He clearly wants the opposite of that. So how about Vladimir Putin, whom Trump has repeatedly praised? He's pretty opposite." -Phillip Bump, Washington Post

We are all aware that Vladimir Putin will never become the Secretary of State, but what we do know is that if Donald Trump does, somehow, win the Presidency, our glorious country will be as good as destroyed.

Don't worry about it. Trump could never be elected President. If the Republicans nominate him it'll be their fault when Hillary Clinton is elected.
 
Let's say he meets the minimum requirements for the job and leave it at that.
 
There is a good place to check to get the answer. The US Constitution spells out the qualifications for office:



Natural born citizen? Check.
Over 35? Check
14 years resident withing the US? Check.

So yes, he is qualified. Being qualified and being a good choice are two different things.

These things become more complicated for some people. Recently a poster on the forum told me that I'm not even a citizen because my mother was an alien at the time I was born in Minnesota. The seems to be the definition of naturally born. Apparently being born in the U.S. isn't good enough for some people.

There is a lot of confusion regarding what is considered a natural born citizen. But if you were born in the USA and at least one of your parents was a citizen then you are certainly a natural born citizen. Today even if you were born outside of the usa and one of your parents is a citizen you are still a natural born citizen. laws regarding this have changed a little here and there over the years.

Just as an aside, I will bet you haven't looked at his website....have you?

If you had, you would have seen how he planned on getting some of his ideas actually done

But I guess it is easier for you to just do what so many others are doing

Yell that he isn't worthy....he is a nut.....

And all that does is make his constituents even more stubborn that he is their only answer

You might want to think about that if you don't want him being the GOP nominee
 
Trump is just like insane, his policies are very aggressive.
