WHO IS DONALD TRUMP AND WHAT DOES HE STANDS FOR IN THIS 21ST CENTURY AMERICA?

The New York City real estate billionaire Donald Trump has been in the national spotlight in America for the last few weeks. Many are speculating that he may run in 2012 under the platform of the Republican Party as a presidential candidate. If this is true, then we need to know who Donald Trump is in all reality, his political beliefs, his public life records and his present positions on the most important and the most volatile issues in America of today.

America as a nation today faces enourmous domestic and foreign challenges. Our national debt is skyrocketing beyond a manageable level at the moment, our nation is not fully out of the woods due to the worst economic recession since the 1930s, our public school systems are failing the students in millions yearly, unemployment rate and foreclosure on homes are at their highest levels in decades. Our immigration policy is broken with an estimated number of illegal immigrants put at between 12-20 million persons.

American national infrastructures are old and dilapitating, the health care system left behind over 46 million Americans without health insurance. The future of our Social Security System with its medicaid and medicare programs for our seniors are bleak. America is presently immersed deeply in three budget-breaking foreign wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Islamic terrorism is still a national threat to Americans and their interests at home and abroad.

Any American who aspires to be our next president in 2012 must be the best candidate in the best position to address and solve all these national and international issues that are most important to Americans from all walks of life. If Donald Trump will run, then we need to put a powerful searchlight on him, in order to examine him fully, what he represents and whether he is truly a presidential material come 2012.

These important questions below must be answered fully about Donald Trump and his presidential ambition due to his many public comments and controversial utterances over the decades on issues that are most important to all Americans.

(i) Is Donald Trump a role model for American school children and a Presidential Material come 2012?. On Thursday April 29, 2011 in Las Vegas. Donald Trump spoke before his audience, followers and news media. Donald Trump used profanities, cursed words and vulgar language repeatedly and openly in this important public forum. In that speech, he called the Chinese politicians "motherfuckers". On OPEC, he said "You ain't gonna raise the fuckin' price". On American public education, "we can't get a fucking school built in Brooklyn".

(ii) Is Donald Trump a racist, a bigot and a white supremacist? Donald Trump has made the following comments in the past about his black employees and black people. Over 13% of Americans are blacks by race. The comments are as follows “Laziness is a trait in blacks.” “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day." “If I was starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black because I really do believe they have the actual advantage today.”

(iii) Has Donald Trump ever discriminated openly aganist blacks and minority groups in America in the area of public housing? Donald Trump was once sued by the American State Department of Justice for refusing to rent his real estate properties to blacks.The case alleged that the Trump Management Corporation had discriminated against blacks who wished to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. His corporation quoted different rental terms and conditions to blacks and whites and lying to blacks that apartments were not available according to the lawsuit.
Trump Management Corporation, was sued by the Justice Department for alleged racial discrimination. At the time, Donald Trump was the company's president.

(iv) Has Donald Trump ever promoted a conspiracy theory based on racism and white supremacy against President Barack Obama concerning President Barack Obama's American citizenship by birth? Donald Trump has publicly claimed on many occassions that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and never in America, and that President Barack Obama has no American certificate of live birth.

The White House last week released the President Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate to prove to the racist-based Birther Movement and Donald Trump beyond any reasonable doubt that Barack Hussein Obama is a naturally-born United State citizen and he is constitutionally a full-fledged American citizen that is legally qualified to be the president of the United States.

(v) Has Donald Trump ever promoted a conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama's ivy league education and his intellectual abilities? 
Barack Obama got into Columbia University on merit based on his great academic qualifications. He got into Havard Law School based on his excellent academic qualifications. He became the first black person in the history of Havard University to be made the president of the prestigious Havard Law Review. He was a professor of Law for 10 years at the prestigious University of Chicago Law School. He wrote two books about his life that are acclaimed today by the New York Times newspaper as their best sellers.

Is Donald Trump involved in outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs overseas? Donald Trump has established clothing factories in Mexico, India anad Bangladesh recently because of the cheap labor force and lower cost of production of goods in the third world countries. His businesses abroad take away the much-needed American manufacturing jobs at the moment when the national unemployment rate stands at over 8.8% and with 13.5 million Americans jobless.
From all what we know at the moment about Donald Trump, I can conclude on a powerful note that he is not a good presidential material at all. Donald Trump is a clown, a joker, an entertainer or a carnival barker. His candidacy for the highest public office in America is too polarising and divisive in nature. Donald Trump in his true color is a racist, a bigot and a promoter of white supremacy in this 21st century America that is racially, ethnically, religiously and socially diverse as a union of many nations in one.
