In Trump’s newest ad, he expresses his views on the immigrant problem he has with this country and how he feels we should not allow any Muslims to enter the country. I decided I would take some time to do some Fact checking, yes Right-wingers, those things people check to make sure what someone is saying/showing is actually true or just made up. I know the GOP party is really good at denying facts, but I respect things that are proven in this world. Like Global Climate Change??? How can you still deny it??? But I digress.
In the ad he has a video of people running in a desert crossing what may be assumed is a border. The assumption, based on the narrator, Trump believes we are having Latino immigrants overflowing and rushing into America illegally. Now do illegal immigrants come from Central America into the United States? Yes they do. Though he conveniently ignores the statistics that show over the last few years we have a net loss of Latino immigrants. That means some people are coming in, but more people are leaving, or being kicked out because Obama actually is quite tough on illegal immigrants compared to Bush. So the entire beginnings of his campaign is based on a bad representation of Facts.
Then let’s investigate the video used to portray his “opinion”. It would be reasonable to see the video and believe it is from the Mexico border. Except the video has been proven to be from Morocco. A country in Africa… A little misleading don’t you think? He is asked about this issue of the video being misleading and essentially says, “We know it isn’t Mexico, but who cares?” Also in that interview with Bill O’Reilly from Fox News he makes the statement that “The United States is a third-world country, we are the dumping ground of Mexico.” Who thinks if any Presidential candidate from the last few elections would EVER be able to be a legitimate candidate? How are people supporting a guy who doesn’t even seem to like this country, and these people who are so Pro-USA they claim, are willing to back a guy who calls this country Crap, and Dumping Ground, and Third World, a Mess? It is almost hysterical if it wasn’t so scary.
In the ad it is shown that Donald Trump would like to stop all Muslims from entering the country. Now this is a fact, he BELIEVES we should. I would also note, this is in complete essence unconstitutional because we cannot judge, or shouldn’t judge, people based on religion. Freedom of Religion mean anything to you? Nope, he and much of the right-wing, it seems, believe that that phrase only really means Freedom of a Christian religion. I would also argue that this once again gives ammunition to the people he actually fears, ISIS. They are recruiting moderate Muslims that feel slighted by the Western world. I wonder if by saying, we don’t trust ANY of you because of your religion, will have them feel disenfranchised and more easily persuaded to join a cause against us? I would say ABSOLUTELY yes. This type of policy is not just against everything we stand for as a country, but would LITTERALY hurt our ability to battle ISIS.
Trump has consistently not talked about any real solutions for the problems we face in this country. His statement that he will build a wall from Mexico is crazy, but the craziest part is his claim Mexico would pay for it. How will he make them pay for it? “I am tough, I will make them pay!” Are you threatening them? Willing to strike war with them over a wall? Seems fairly likely for a guy who responds to any criticism with an insult. He is a Child. He also has no real policies about foreign affairs. In the last debate made it clear that he has no idea of what he is doing, but oh it is ok because if he is elected he will “figure it out.” That guy, with no plan, but with bigotry and hate and fear, that guy is leading one of the major parties in this country. How far have we fallen?
