He thinks nothing about buying Chinese factories full of slave labor. Oh wait, he thought the guard towers and the barbed wire were to keep people out, because that factory was such a wonderful place to work for a nickel an hour while living in trashed-out, overcrowded barracks!

So far, he's only had the powers of a business executive and a Mormon bishop, and a very limited amount of state coercive power as governor. As President, he would have the power to kill almost at will. Would you trust him with that power? I won't.
