In reply to the discussion: I fear both an HRC and a Trump presidency [View all]Dems to Win
(2,161 posts)Trump has called the Saudis 'fat cows' and said we shouldn't be defending them. Hillary has accepted millions from the Saudis for her foundation, and I have no doubt would continue the US groveling to the Saudi royal family.
Trump is a belligerent clown, Hillary is very well-spoken and articulate. But I truly am afraid Hillary is more likely to get the US into more wars in more places. Her campaign is seeking Republican funders, telling them Hillary shares Bush foreign policy values.
Young people in particular will fiercely resist any racist initiatives from Trump, if he is president. But Americans won't really pay attention to foreign wars waged by the US military. So, a case could be made that the country would do less evil under Trump than under Clinton.
And, of course, looking at the pics from Trump's wedding, it is tough to imagine that one rich partygoer is any different from another. Hard to imagine anyone there was on my side.
Hell of a situation for my beloved country.
