10 Tweets to Prove Why Donald Trump Can NOT Be Our Next President

When Donald Trump announced his intent to run for President in 2016, journalists and media personalities rejoiced.  Trump is a man who has never been afraid to speak his (delusional) mind, or attach his name to anything (or everything), but does the billionaire-turned-reality television star (turned orange) really have a chance at winning his party's nomination?

Well, if you are even considering checking Trump's name on the ballot, check out these Tweets that embody why he should never be allowed near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

10. (Very) thinly-veiled racism

Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 28, 2015
Thugs, the new N-word. And insinuating that the President has some sort of special power over America's black population is both idiotic and racist. By his logic, would "President" Donald Trump be responsible for controlling the actions of billionaire CEOs?

9. His preference for birds over your grandchildren:

It's Friday. How many bald eagles did wind turbines kill today? They are an environmental & aesthetic disaster.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 24, 2012

Statistically, 0.013 bald eagles died on that particular Friday. Overall, 85 bald eagles died in the U.S. from wind turbines from 1997 until 2014.  That's 5 per year. 

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (BP) oil spill, a singular event that dumped 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and onto its shores has been credited with 6,147 dead birds, 613 dead sea turtles and 157 dead mammals (including dolphins). That is as a direct result of the spill.  Environmental officials estimate the long-term effects of the spill will result in more than 1 million wildlife deaths. 

8. His attitude toward victims of a pandemic:

The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2014
Punishing acts of international heroism. How American!

7. Pettiness in response to media criticism:

While Jon Stewart is a joke, not very bright and totally overrated, some losers and haters will miss him & his dumb clown humor. Too bad!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 1, 2015
Is this how you are going to respond to your critics from the Oval Office? If you don't grow thicker skin, you are going to start challenging the First Amendment. (P.S. Don't mess with my boy Jon)

6. He doesn't seem to get what "refuse to say" means:

While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28, 2012
Hey DT: Saying what you refuse to say is actually worse than just saying it.

5. Advice like this:

Entrepreneurs: Remember the golden rule of negotiating -- he who has the gold makes the rules.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 19, 2015
Trump to advisers: How can I come across as inspirational to aspiring entrepreneurs, while making it abundantly clear that unless they're already rich, they don't stand a chance? 

4. Pandering to the "Truther" crowd:

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 6, 2012
Trump's next "truth bomb": Plaque is a figment of the liberal media and the dental industry to scare you into buying useless appliances and pastes. Now, I've heard the arguments on both sides, and there is nothing to convince me of the need to brush your teeth. 

3. I don't think he knows how global warming works:

This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2014
Not only is it clear that Donald Trump has no idea about how climate change works, he is also dead wrong. Here are some facts on Climate Change:
  • FACT: 2014 was the world’s hottest year on record
  • FACT: 99.84% of the land in the state of California is suffering from drought
  • FACT: Average global sea level is expected to rise 7 – 23 inches before the end of this century
  • FACT: The Arctic region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040

2. Or what "credible source" means:

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 6, 2012
If you remember, Trump was t the forefront of the "Obama is not an American" movement, and as soon as Obame did produce his long-form birth certificate, he refused to accept that it was real. 

1. He needs to have at least a vague idea of how democratic elections work:

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
The Representative Republic form of Democracy in the U.S. is based on appointing leaders that the majority of its population select, not the elite few.  I think you're looking for an Aristocracy. Maybe you should go live in Ancient Sparta, since the form of government you seem to want does not currently exist in this world, because it's stupid. 

But, on second thought... He IS friends with Robert Kraft.

There is no way my friend Bob Kraft agreed not to appeal the NFL decision without making a deal to at least get something. We love Tom Brady

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2015
Your argument is invalid.
