Trump

I still wonder if any large tech companies (Google, Apple, etc) will endorse against Trump before November. They did on Prop 8, and Trump will similarly have an immediate negative impact on many of their employees.

The only things Trump is right about are the exact same things that every politician says:

> He's right that many Americans are getting screwed by the system. He’s right that the economy is not growing nearly fast enough. He's right that we're drowning in political correctness, and that broken campaign finance laws have bred a class of ineffective career politicians.

It's demagoguery 101.

Demagogic hate-monger seems a little strong.

It's also redundant. Demagogs === hate-mongers.

Why is this a bad thing? Isn't the goal of globalization to start thinking of our planet as a whole?

If anything, I'd call that a charitable description, and definitely not as strongly worded as most would write.

Thank you for writing this. So many want to tiptoe around and ignore this election, like they've always done before, and that may be the worst mistake of all in this situation.

With Trump already an also-ran in November, who may even have to run as an independent, it doesn't take much courage to write this now. It just became politically correct to slam Trump in public. If you wait too long, he'll have dropped out already! "Daddy, what did you do in the Great War?"
