In an attempt to be a publicly aware citizen, I have been following the news surrounding the upcoming presidential election very closely. Although I am backing a specific candidate, I respect everyone who vote, regardless of who they vote for. Well, unless they vote for Donald Trump.
See the entire article from Politifact here
Although Trump loves to make assertions without any evidence, he does tend to ask the occasional question. Regardless of the fact that most of the questions are rhetorical, I am going to answer them anyway. Any information is good information for Trump at this point.
All of the questions I am answering today can be found on Donald Trump's Facebook profile.
Let's begin.
In regards to article entitled “Two-Month Border Surge Brings Nearly 11,000 New Illegal Alien Minors to U.S.,” (Read it here) Trump asks on December 13th "Will our government finally acknowledge that we need a WALL? We can’t solve our country’s problems by being politically correct!"

Well, Mr. Trump, "the massive surge of children fleeing their Central American homes and mostly crossing the Mexican border into Texas" can be attributed to extreme violence in countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. While unfortunate that these children are entering the country illegally, the fact is that crossing the border and starting a life in a foreign nation with no family or resources is safer than staying home. And, frankly, I'm not sure what political correctness has to do with the matter.
While referencing his growing support on December 10th, Trump posts "For the past 5 months - media poll experts & establishment politicians have predicted that my campaign will fail. As the polls indicate - we are growing, and will continue to do so - thanks to your support! What else do you think they are capable of under estimating? Terrorism? Threats of cyber-attacks? I DO NOT WANT TO FIND OUT! When I am elected #POTUS - I will see to it that we DO NOT find out!"
Apparently media poll experts and establishment politicians are capable of underestimating the general stupidity of a large portion of the voting population. How's that for not coating our problems in political correctness, Mr. Trump?
Again, on December 10th, in reference to his lead in the polls, Trump posts "Thank you for all of your support. I am running for POTUS because I love this country - and I do not like the direction in which it is going. We need to secure America now! What are we waiting for? Time to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain!"
Personally, I'm waiting for a better presidential candidate to start leading in the polls. Also, personally, I think America is still great.
Mr. Trump, notice how I started the previous sentences with "personally," signifying that what I wrote was my opinion, and not necessarily fact. You should try that.
In a gesture-filled video on December 1st, captioned "What is Obama thinking?" Trump states "While the world is in turmoil and falling apart in so many different ways especially with ISIS, our president is worried abut global warming. What a ridiculous situation!”
I am going to guess that President Obama is thinking that if the world becomes uninhabitable, we will all die anyway. In the face of Mother Nature, terrorists and non-terrorists fall to the same fate.
In yet another angry video posted on November 17th, Trump asks "Refugees are pouring into our great nation from Syria. We don’t even know who they are. They could be ISIS, they could be anybody. What’s our president doing? Is he insane?"
Our president is facing a global political issue and trying to help the greatest amount of people in the best way he knows. As Obama said himself "American leadership is us caring about people who have been forgotten or who have been discriminated against or who've been tortured or who've been subject to unspeakable violence or who've been separated from families at very young ages. That's when we're the shining light on the hill." I don't believe that upholding the ideas that this great nation was founded on makes our president insane. Personally.
