Donald Trump: A ‘Dangerous’ Man

Donald Trump: A ‘Dangerous’ Man

The ideas that he is putting forward are dangerous to America and what his speech revealed to me is that he is a dangerous leader. He doesn’t appear to have the in-depth knowledge—about the world, history, economics, politics—that any serious presidential candidate should have. He lacks the nuance and sophistication that say [Dwight D.] Eisenhower and George H.W. Bush—just to single out two Republican Presidents in the last fifty years—had. It is that maturity and judgment that are so important in the Oval Office that all of our Presidents have to have. He doesn’t appear to have any of it.
