Letter: Donald Trump is not a leader

Can you imagine if Donald Trump was actually president? What if he wins this election — how would things turn out? The dude is interruptive, rich, and not to make obvious, but also racist.

He idolizes and quotes President Eisenhower, a racist president who threw millions of Mexicans inhumanely into Mexico’s deserts. What if Trump tries to do the same? He claims he’s going to deport Mexicans “as humanely as possible,” but really, how humane is it to take away birth-given rights and disrespect Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in so many different ways?

Who does Donald Trump think he is? He is no leader, because I refuse to believe a leader should take away rights and is a discriminating racist.
