Words and phrases that describe Donald Trump:

Counterfeit

As in counterfeit conservative. He doesn't have conservative principles. He's praised the UK's National Health Service, Planned Parenthood which "does wonderful things," he's gone from deporting 11 million people to calling for "touchback" amnesty.

Conman

Because he actually RAN a CON. If he had charged people a few hundred bucks for some "success" lectures that wouldn't deserve the word con. But he sold a program designed to get people in debt for thouands of dollars with promises to reveal his "secrets" of how to get rich in real estate. But there were no secrets. The material covered can be found on internet sites for free. He can't claim it was just done by others in his name, he OWNED Trump University and he took millions out of the fake university. The things he said when promoting it sound exactly like what he says about what his Presidency would be like. This says a lot about his character or lack thereof.

Bad Judgment

He had properties go bankrupt in 1991, 1992, 2004, and 2009. Each bankruptcy resulted in him having equity and/or management control taken from him. The final Trump bankruptcy reduced his ownership of his New Jersey properties to zero. There are buildings there and elsewhere with Trump's name on them but he doesn't own them. Carl Icahn does. Worse, all the bankruptcies resulted from the same thing, over-leverage with high interest debt. He didn't learn from his failures.

Another example of bad judgment is deciding to run for President in a year in which he faces court proceedings for fraud associated with his Trump University con.

Clinton Crony

Trump is on record as praising Hillary Clinton's job as Secretary of State. He's written a number of pesonal checks to Hillary Clinton and her campaigns over the years. As have his sons and wife, Melania. How is he going to convince voters he now opposes a woman he's on record as praising and supporting?
