I don't hate Donald Trump. I think he's a great celebrity, a larger-than-life character that has taken great risks and made and lost a lot of money. But I don't think he will make a good president. People seem to be enamored with celebrity and wealth, as though they are characteristics of greatness. For some reason, they want royalty, the very thing this country declared independence from and designed a Constitution to eliminate.

Therefore, I can see his appeal among those who feel they are being oppressed by one thing or another because Trump always puts on his best showman positive twist to everything, even though it may just be another big loss that he will sweep under the rug and go on to the next big thing. It's what entrepreneurs and many politicians do, but not what makes this country great. Impossible or unkept promises have nothing great about them.

We can't afford those kinds of risky activity. What makes this country great is making it great for everyone, and not just those special people who are apprentices to riches and privilege or bow down and get favors from the king. The simple fact is that very few good people are going into politics because it is so corrupted by money. Until we can fix that, we will continue to have government run by puppeteers behind the scenes and not by we, the people.
