Judgement Day

Reasons to vote against Trump are legion including, his expressed attitude toward women and minorities, his lack of experience, his narcissism. and his unrealistic, and often unconscionable, policy proposals.  But his lack of judgement is the most compelling.  After a year of discussing current problems, the defining moment for the next president is most likely over the horizon.  Trump's hand size is of no moment, but his stunted judgement could be momentous.

Time and again Trump has sold his name to questionable ventures.  Trump lent his name and infomercial presence to two bunko artists, with complaints against them by attorney generals in 33 states, to form and promote Trump Institute.  With worthless and plagiarized material, the institute earned its "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau.  Condo buyers in Baja California and Florida have been lured by the Trump name into making deposits with projects that lacked the financing to break ground.  Trump prostitutes his name indiscriminately.

The campaign has been no exception.  Trump has lent credibility to white supremacist groups through retweeting their messages.  Consider the source, is not in his lexicon.

Trump gets his fee off the top, and woe to those who rely on his good name and reputation.  His presidency would be no different.  The problem would be "yuge."
