   That is false on many levels.  Anyone who knew anything about the   
   election process (or American history) wouldn't make such a novice   
   blunder.

   Yes there is, he makes rash statements without thinking them through,   
   else he wouldn't have praised potential murder committed by Putin as   
   "running his country" and as an example of great leadership.   
      
   In fact, it's quite obvious to anyone with an objective mind that Trump   
   speaks through both sides of his mouth on most issues.... Simultaneously   
   blasting policies in the middle east by the current and previous   
   administration while threatening to do the same (boots on the ground,   
   taking their oil, air raids killing terrorists' families) himself.   
      
   You see, he has no real plan... he flies by the seat of his pants with   
   increasing bluster because he knows the most unintelligent *fools* in   
   the US will fall for it ever time...

   What plan?  He doesn't have one.  In fact, he failed to identify   
   important figures in the conflicts, later responding with the   
   unconvincing:   
      
     "By the time we get to office, they’ll all be changed. They’ll be all   
     gone. I knew you were going to ask me things like this," Trump   
     said. "But as far as the individual players, of course I don’t know   
     them. I've never met them. I haven’t been, you know, in a position to   
     meet them. If, if they're still there, which is unlikely in many   
     cases, but if they’re still there, I will know them better than I know   
     you."   
      
     "The names you just mentioned, they probably won’t even be there in   
     six months or a year," Trump added. "And you know what? In that case,   
     first day in office, or before then, right at the day after the   
     election, I’ll know more about it than you will ever know. That I can   
     tell you."   
      
   Trump is a loose cannon, a fool, and full of hot air.  The change we   
   need (and that you expect) will not be coming with Trump at the reigns.
