Corruption

1. Tax return revelations show that he has paid no income tax over the past couple of decades, and brags about it, and has repeatedly lied about being unable to release tax returns under audit even after the IRS and every economist and tax expert have come ​ out and said that this is not the case. He has not even provided evidence that he is under ​ audit. In fact, he could release the first two pages of his tax returns, which detail deductions, income, and charitable giving (among other things), since these aren’t affected by audit. He has refused to do so for unknown reasons. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/16/donald-trump-tax-returns-495955.html) 2. He has a long history of tax evasion and trouble with the IRS, with nearly a hundred cases documented. (http://archive.thegleaner.com/news/380144241.xhtml) 3. Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts Inc. Outright lied to the US Securities and Exchange Commision (SEC) in 1999 by excluding a one time charge of 80 million dollars (while including a one time charge of 17 million), because if they didn’t the total earnings wouldn’t have met prior expectations. The SEC ordered a cease-and-desist. (http://money.cnn.com/2002/01/16/news/sec_trump/) (https://www.sec.gov/news/headlines/trumphotels.htm) 4.

(http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/28/news/trump-apartment-tenants/) 12. Trump asked the building manager to spy on the tenants, even detailing their habits and activities. When the tenants and Trump’s organization discussed an offer for the tenants to buy the property for $15 million to end all the drama, his organization then sued for $150 million for “coercing a bargain sale of the building”. (http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/28/news/trump-apartment-tenants/) 13. Trump settled the above case for $500,000 for each attorney, with the agreement that Trump could monitor repairs for 5 years.

(http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/10/news/trump-model-visas/) 20. Admitted to secretly funding anti-casino ads in the Catskill areas in order to prevent competition with Atlantic City.

Hundreds of other lawsuits, fraud cases, and law violations (obviously not all were found guilty.) 22.When Trump, in 1973, was on trial for discriminating against minorities, he used a number of delaying tactics until he eventually settled the case.

However, court and phone records show that they filed the request at 10AM and called him immediately after. 24.He then countersued for $100 million dollars, delaying the process further. 25.He ignored discovery demands - legal requirements to turn over documents - even challenging their necessity. After 6 months of ignoring deadlines and demands, the attorney called and was told they had no plans to answer any questions. 26.When granted a subpoena, Trump admitted that they had been destroying all corporate documents for six months and didn’t have any document retention program in order to “save space”. 27.When they announced a date to investigate the headquarters, Trump pretended they didn’t know it was supposed to be that day. He then claimed that they were harassed by the investigators, even employees who made sworn statements later refused to testify under oath. 28.After a year and a half, they finally reached a settlement where Trump’s organization agreed to no discrimination against minorities. The government sent in undercover minority applicants, and they were once ​ again discriminated against compared to the undercover white applicants. ​ Trump went to court again in 1978, where they once again reached a settlement. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/11/11/donald-trump-companies-destroyed-emails- documents-515120.html) 29. Trump’s organization once failed to turn over emails and documents related to a lawsuit because “they didn’t have any servers with emails”. Sworn statements by tech employees in the organization later contradicted this, and technology service providers later produced statements and evidence that they did indeed have email servers at the time. Investigations showed that they didn’t have any email data before January 2001… the same month Trump learned about information regarding the lawsuit. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/11/11/donald-trump-companies-destroyed-emails- documents-515120.html) 30.

(http://www.newsweek.com/how-donald-trump-ditched-us-steel-workers-china-5057 17) 42. Trump says he had to make clothing line in China because things like that aren’t made in America. That’s outright false. (http://www.newsweek.com/how-donald-trump-ditched-us-steel-workers-china-5057 17) 43. Trump destroyed valuable art he promised to save $30,000, and used a fake pseudonym (John Barron) to falsely claim appraisers called the works worthless. 5

When magazine 7 Days mentioned in a 1988 article that his apartments’ resale values ​ ​ weren’t as high as marketing suggested, Donald Trump was outraged.

After 7 Days published an article complimenting his then-wife, Ivana, he ​ ​ retracted his threats with no explanation for the supposed “angry horde”. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/10/28/donald-trump-business-busts-victims-51103 4.html) 48. Trump University was a useless course, which cost participants thousands of dollars. Marketing was told to go after even people who couldn’t afford it. Part of the advertising claimed that Trump handpicked professors, but under oath he couldn’t name any professors (all the people confirmed to have taught there were unqualified to speak about business). He recently settled the case for $25 million out of the $40 million the lawsuit asked for, and is also paying $1 million in legal penalties for the scam. 49.

Corruption in Trump’s charity

1. Trump hasn’t donated any money to his charity since 2008, and nothing above $100,000 since 2006. Everything in the Trump Foundation is other people’s ​ ​ money, this is an important fact to remember. Everything the Trump ​ Foundation does not affect Trump’s own earnings whatsoever, only the ​ ​ earnings of the people who donate to it. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-donald-trump-retooled-his-charity-t o-spend-other-peoples-money/2016/09/10/da8cce64-75df-11e6-8149-b8d05321db62_s tory.html) 2. In 2013, the Trump Foundation donated $25,000 to Florida attorney general Pam Bondi, at the same time they were looking into the Trump University scam. After this donation, she dropped any investigation into Trump University.

Money was given to Bondi’s political group, “And Justice For All”. However, in the IRS filings, it was marked to have gone to an unrelated Utah charity called “Justice For All”. They didn’t receive any money whatsoever. 4. The same year, the Trump Foundation marked “no” when asked if they made any political donations in their IRS filings. 5. Trump used the foundation’s money to buy a $20,000 painting of himself at an auction.

When Donald Trump promises gifts to charity, like he sometimes did (21 times) on The Celebrity Apprentice, the money going to charity actually comes from the Trump Foundation.

The charity behind this, the Association to Benefit Children, set up seats up front for donors. Donald Trump walked in and sat down up front in a seat reserved for Steven Fisher, a developer and donor behind the project. Despite never having donated once to the charity, Trump sat up front, acting like he had. After it was over, he just left with no explanation. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-boasts-of-his-philanthropy-but-his -giving-falls-short-of-his-words/2016/10/29/b3c03106-9ac7-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5 _story.html) 11.

After Trump promised to give $1 million to charity after skipping the Fox News GOP Debate, he didn’t do so until pressed about it a few months later. This was not before falsely claiming “we already gave money” and refusing to provide details, however. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/24/four-months-l ater-donald-trump-says-he-gave-1-million-to-veterans-group/) 15. The Trump Foundation was ordered to shut down at least temporarily in late September after it was revealed that it did not have the proper certification required for charities to solicit money from donors. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-foundation-lacks-the-certification- required-for-charities-that-solicit-money/2016/09/29/7dac6a68-8658-11e6-ac72-a299 79381495_story.html) 16.

They settled the disagreement by agreeing that Trump’s club would pay $100,000 to a charity of their choice. Trump payed off the settlement using Trump Foundation money… which does not come from his or his business’ pockets at all. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-used-258000-from-his-charity-to- settle-legal-problems/2016/09/20/adc88f9c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html) 18. The same thing happened with one of Trump’s golf courses… other people’s money was used to pay $158,000 to a charity of the plaintiff’s choice. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-used-258000-from-his-charity-to- settle-legal-problems/2016/09/20/adc88f9c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html) 19.

When asked about the specifics of Trump’s charitable giving (including detailed questions), the Trump campaign only responded saying “Trump has personally donated tens of millions of dollars to charitable causes”, offering no evidence or answers to any questions. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-boasts-of-his-philanthropy-but-his -giving-falls-short-of-his-words/2016/10/29/b3c03106-9ac7-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5 _story.html) 21. He used $100 dollars from the Foundation to buy a two-person membership to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In the 1990s, Trump offered to star in a music video for the band Precious Metal in return for $10,000 in charitable donations. After they shot the video, Trump changed his request to $250,000. After the band refused, they reshot the video with someone else and Trump went to publicly express his dislike for the song. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-boasts-of-his-philanthropy-but-his -giving-falls-short-of-his-words/2016/10/29/b3c03106-9ac7-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5 _story.html) 23. In 1997, Trump was “principal for the day” at a public school in a poor area of the Bronx. The chess team was holding a bake sale to raise funds for a tournament, but they were $5,000 short. In a bizarre move, Trump gave them a fake million dollar bill. After this, he gave them $200 in real money and drove away. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-boasts-of-his-philanthropy-but-his -giving-falls-short-of-his-words/2016/10/29/b3c03106-9ac7-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5 _story.html) 13

24. During the Third Presidential Debate, Trump’s excuse for using the charity to buy his own portrait was “at least I don’t buy boats or planes”. 25. Trump has repeatedly called the Clinton Foundation corrupt, despite a larger percentage of proceedings going towards charitable causes than the Red Cross. The Clinton Foundation pays for life-saving medicine for those who otherwise can’t afford it, primarily children stricken with AIDS in Africa. The Trump Foundation paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s Boy Scout fees. 14

Racism

1. As mentioned before, Trump violated the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against prospective minority tenants during the 1970s, and destroyed all corporate documents related to the case to avoid prosecution. After he settled, undercover tenants revealed that he still hadn’t stopped discriminating until after the second time he was in court for it. 2. Also mentioned before, Trump payed a $200,000 fine for refusing to allow minorities onto the casino floor while has Mafia friend was gambling. 3.

The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day… . I think the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.

Unconstitutional policies

1. A Muslim ban on entering the United States would violate the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment. (https://action.aclu.org/sites/default/files/pages/trumpmemos.pdf) 2. A Muslim ban on citizens and American residents returning to the United States would also violate the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. 3. Any citizen could challenge the Muslim ban for violating speech, religion, and associational protections in the First Amendment. 4. A Muslim ban would violate US violations of international law, including the Refugee Convention, Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, along with other American statutes of refugee protection. 5. Even a “only block Muslims from problematic countries” plan would blatantly violate the First Amendment. A ban of people entering from certain countries could also be challenged, if it was apparent that the Trump administration were intentionally targeting Muslims. (And no, Jimmy Carter is not an equivalent precedent. Carter temporarily blocked Iranians, which was a country condoning the action of terrorists. Visa restrictions were taken to pressure the Iranian government.) 6. Massive immigration enforcement would erode civil liberties of undocumented immigrants and U.S. citizens alike by leading to a systematic reliance on racial profiling and illegal detentions. A campaign like this would result in rampant Fourth Amendment and Equal Protection violations. 7. A mass deportation would only be based on racial profiling; they’re either asking everyone for their identification, or targeting poor Latino families. What’s more likely? ​ 8. Because of this, mass deportations would lead to a mass breakdown of due process, thus violating the Fifth Amendment. Undocumented immigrants are still protected by a long trial and review process, which can take up to two years. Rounding up millions of immigrants in the first hundred days is literally impossible if you follow the constitution, and it is near-impossible to deport all of them in a span of two years. 9. “No catch-and-release” violates the Fifth Amendment and immigration laws, because every person in America has a right to due process and a trial. 10. Promising that the “good ones” can return makes no sense. Not only are visas hard to obtain, but the majority of undocumented immigrants would be forced to wait at least five years according to US immigration law. (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182) 11. Trump brags about receiving endorsements from Border Patrol Unions for his immigration and Wall positions, but these Unions are known for violating rights and cruel treatment. (https://www.aclu.org/blog/speak-freely/4-ways-border-patrol-unions-trump-endors ement-filled-lies-and-misinformation) 37

12. A database of Muslims would violate the Fifth Amendment, but also the Privacy Act of 1974 which bars the government from tracking the use of anything protected in the First Amendment (which in this case would be religion and/or speech). (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/552a) 13. Trump’s stance on torture violates the Fifth and Eighth Amendments (cruel and unusual punishment), along with federal and international statutes (including the Geneva Convention). Any excuses by referring to the use of torture under Bush fail, because the Department of Justice ruled that the rules created by the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) “authorizing” torture were “illogical and convoluted”. Congress also introduced two separate acts barring the use of torture (Detainee Treatment Act, and Mccain-Feinstein Amendments to the NDAA). There is no precedent for allowing torture, it’s actually quite the opposite. (https://www.aclu.org/files/pdfs/natsec/opr20100219/20090729_OPR_Final_Repor t_with_20100719_declassifications.pdf) 14. Trump promised to “open up our libel laws”. There is no “federal libel law”, since libel laws are contained under the First Amendment. 15. Trump said if someone writes something factually wrong and doesn’t issue a retraction, they should be held accountable legally. Under the “actual malice” standard already in place for libel, this is unconstitutional. There is no way to expand libel guidelines beyond “actual malice”. 16. Donald Trump said he supported the NSA’s collection of “bulk metadata” (like phone records). Recently, however, the USA Freedom Act ruled that the NSA’s collection of phone records was unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment because it had never even been authorized by Congress. (http://www.newsweek.com/where-do-presidential-wannabes-stand-patriot-act-3349 68) 17. Trump (and Pence) have expressed their desire to overturn Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges (abortion and gay marriage). However, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Supreme Court already decided that “overruling Roe’s central holding would not only reach an unjustifiable result under principles of stare decisis, but would seriously weaken the Court’s capacity to exercise the judicial power and to function as the Supreme Court of a Nation dedicated to the rule of law.” (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/91-744.ZS.html) 18. Trump has fought against separation of church and state. (http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-christianity-merry-christmas-2016-1 ) 19. In summary, Trump’s current proposals would violate the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Eighth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment. 20. They would also violate the Establishment Clause, Equal Protections Clause, Due Process Clause, along with international statutes like the Refugee Convention, Geneva Convention, US immigration laws, and Supreme Court precedent. 38

Danger to economy

1. Economists for the first time in history are sided against one candidate, as they near-unanimously warn that Trump has no idea what he is doing. (http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2016/11/01/prominent-economists-including-eight-n obel-laureates-do-not-vote-for-donald-trump/) 2. Trump said “we never have to default on the debt because we print the money”. (http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/09/politics/donald-trump-national-debt-strategy/) 3. Trump wants to go back to the Gold Standard even though virtually every economist agrees that this is a bad idea. (http://www.npr.org/2016/06/16/482279689/trump-favors-returning-to-the-gold-st andard-few-economists-agree) 4. Trump suggested tanking the economy so we could renegotiate the the public debt and pay discounted prices to investors of Treasury Bonds. Yes, this is an actual thing he suggested. (http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-treasury-haircut-idea-insane-2016-5 ) 5. Economists suggest that deportation plan could shrink economy by up to 2%. (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-deportations-idUSKCN0XW0 TP) 6. Trump wants to start a trade war with China (a 40% tariff), ignoring the fact that this ​ ​ would just increase prices for American consumers and that China has full ability (and desire) to just retaliate with their own price hikes. (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429510/donald-trump-trade-deficits-china- what-he-doesnt-get) 7. Trump thinks unemployment is actually at 40% and that everyone’s lying about the 4.9% numbers to make Obama look good. Trump doesn’t realize that there’s a reason we don’t include children and retired people in unemployment numbers. (Great Depression was barely 20% unemployment for perspective.) (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/09/28/trump_unemployment_rate_as _high_as_40.html) 8. Economic Intelligence Unit considers Trump a danger to economic stability. (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/mar/17/president-trump-sixth-list-ma jor-threats-global-economy-republican-trade-eiu) 9. Trump was $200 billion off on his estimates of the American trade deficit. (https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html) 10. Trump promises to decrease taxes while increasing government spending without raising the deficit. This is mathematically impossible. Literally. Even under examinations done ​ ​ by conservative institutions, Trump would add a trillion to the deficit and over 5 trillion minimum to the national debt. (http://taxfoundation.org/article/details-and-analysis-donald-trump-s-tax-plan) 39

11. Even conservative and Republican economists think Trump has no clue how to work the economy. (https://www.aei.org/publication/donald-trump-flunks-econ-101-when-it-comes-to-in ternational-trade-assignment-watch-a-1978-milton-friedman-video/) 12. Trump thought Mexico’s VAT tax was a tariff on American goods, when in reality it’s actually essentially a sales tax added to goods sold in Mexico, which doesn’t affect trade ​ ​ whatsoever. (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2016/09/27/in-the-debate-donald-trump- was-simply-wrong-about-vat-and-mexico/) 13. Trump clearly has no idea how trade works, constantly demonizing deals like NAFTA. We actually didn’t have a net loss of jobs after NAFTA (we gained them), and unemployment/outsourcing didn’t really take off until China joined the WTO in 2001 and, you know, that stuff Bush did. 14. Trump is threatened by China expansion but hates the TPP, which is specifically designed to keep America competitive in trade in the Asian regions China would take over without the TPP. 15. Trump takes advantage of white working class families by claiming he will bring manufacturing jobs back. Manufacturing has been steadily declining over the past five decades because these jobs are being permanently ​ replaced by automation. These jobs are, literally, permanently lost. It would be like if Woodrow Wilson promised to bring carriage driving jobs back or something. The decline of the Rust Belt and manufacturing industry had ​ ​ nothing to do with the “disastrous” trade deals Trump moronically demonizes. (https://33df51a4-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/davidlagakos/home/rese arch/rustbeltpaper69.pdf?attachauth=ANoY7cqYPMZoFD3unwM3QRE6DyRaoPNnh N9YL5wok15dOcbwSfgr5uDqxh_5vtB46L9TgDGn-Lpq5vvVWJUBcL_N1EWzs13FgOk qG1oSpLNfGQhObtlnMRM2bjs9hPEqylGDkdUHEfgVbrqSunLwf3MDeaSdjjbqh8MgSY WC81s_YYQVIgUr8nXFEGxAo5q2GZKbcCoaJBkDNTod63y0ZTa9YWjDrp2bMAiKIpX sgqVL5uHB3iQpRxl1QxkG7GyGw0xREsJLp1c3&attredirects=0) 16. Trump is against raising the minimum wage and has been quoted as saying “wages are too high”. 17. Trump and the GOP are already planning to cut guaranteed overtime pay for anyone making under $47,000 because apparently white working class voters have a masochistic relationship with Republicans. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/obama-overtime-rule-injunction_us_5834db6 3e4b01ba68ac387ba) 18. If Trump and the GOP repeal Obamacare, it will leave 20 million people uninsured and many unable to pay for life saving medical care. You’d think Republicans would actually have a plan to replace Obamacare that isn’t just “open up state lines” after 8 years, but it’s almost as if they just wanted to get rid of everything Obama did without planning for anything else. 40

Misc. Anti-Trump Bulletpoints

1. Trump Supporters 2. Not all Trump supporters are bigots, far from it. However, bigots like racists, sexists, Neo-Nazis, the KKK, homophobes, and so on are overwhelmingly supportive of Trump, ​ more so than any other candidate in history. Shouldn’t it be a massive red flag when ​ terrible (dare I say deplorable?) people are unanimously enthusiastic about a candidate? ​ ​ 3. Neo-Nazis are celebrating Trump’s cabinet picks, calling it “like Christmas”, and that it’s “all they could have asked for”. (http://www.dailystormer.com/its-like-christmas-sessions-for-ag-gen-flynn-as-nation al-security-advisor/) 4. Hate crimes have risen with the rise of Trump. (http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/hate-on-the-rise-after-trumps-election ) 5. Many people, in particular white teenage males (or just white males), love Trump for “speaking his mind” and “ignoring PC-culture”. For these people, being able to insult whomever they want is more important than policy (seriously, can these people name any Trump policies besides a wall, Muslim ban, and tax cuts?). 6. Ironic that people “anti-PC” elect the guy that demands apologies every time someone even remotely criticizes him. 7. Also, what the hell do people think electing someone “PC culture” (like apparently Clinton) is going to do? Are they going to create laws instating a maximum number of swear words a day? Worst case scenario, they create a program encouraging people to be ​ polite. Oh, like what Melania Trump wants to do with cyberbullying. ​ (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/11/03/melania-trum p-suburban-women-pennsylvania/93232926/) 8. Trump calls his own supporters “nasty”, “mean”, “violent”, “vicious”, and “crazy” to their faces, and they cheer him on. (http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/16/politics/donald-trump-supporters-vicious-violent/) 9. The Wall 10. It would be a waste of money. If we tried to cut funding towards Mexico to pay for it with savings, Mexico would just raise retaliatory tariffs to make up the difference. 11. It would be a logistical disaster, with the wall going through towns, houses, rivers, lakes, and legally untouchable Native American reservations. 12. It would be an ecological disaster, blocking immigration for lots animal life from vital water sources like rivers and lakes. 13. It wouldn’t solve immigration problems, because illegal immigration is already decreasing, and the majority of illegal immigrants come over in planes. 14. We already deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and Obama has deported the most illegal immigrants than any president in history. 89

15. Operation Wetback, a program in the middle of the 20th century where we rounded up illegal immigrants and dropped them in the middle of Mexico, was a human rights disaster that resulted in hundreds if not thousands of actual citizens being mistakenly treated terribly (and resulted in several deaths). 16. It would strain our relationship with Mexico, a vital national security ally and economic ally. 17. Trump doesn’t care about you 18. His tax plan would benefit wealthy people the most, and would raise taxes on 8 million middle class families (primarily single parent and large households). 19. Trump lied to the Rust Belt, promising to bring back jobs that have been permanently lost to automation (it would be like promising to bring back horse carriage drivers in the 1920s). 20. Trump and the GOP are already planning to cut guaranteed overtime pay for workers making under $47,000. 21. Trump and the GOP are already promising to scale back health insurance, medicare, and other beneficial governmental programs to lower government spending. 22. Trump is vehemently anti-union. 23. His dangerous anti-trade rhetoric resulted in a plan that economists universally pan as dangerous to the working class. (http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-trade-plan-could-push-u-s-into-recession-study- says-1474257662) 24. Trump constantly exaggerates conditions of African-American communities in an attempt to win over voters. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/10/10/donald-trump-gets-a -basic-fact-wrong-about-black-americans/) 25. Trump has a trillion dollar infrastructure plan that involves giving hundreds of billion dollars of tax breaks to private investors. He hopes that they will invest in private infrastructure repair, and that they can make up the different with toll roads and other private projects. You heard that right, toll roads. ​ ​ (http://theweek.com/articles/663739/trumps-infrastructure-promises-explained) 26. People actually think a billionaire with a history of scamming and taking advantage of people is going to fight for them? 27. Trump promised to end Washington corruption, but he hired the guy behind Citizens ​ United to be his deputy campaign manager. You know, that bill literally designed to keep ​ money in politics. (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/trump-bossie-citizens-united-227662) 28. Trump promises to bring back coal jobs. He ignores the fact that gutting environmental regulations won’t increase the business, because it was market forces that resulted in the decline of coal. 29.Why do evangelicals support him? He’s everything they hate. 30. He’s been married three times, each time cheating on his previous wife with his next wife. 31. He’s repeatedly bragged about bedding married women. 90

32. He bragged about having affairs (and sexual assault) while his third wife was a few months pregnant with his child. 33. He lies, well, nonstop. 34. “You can tell them to go fuck themselves.” 35. “We’ll bomb the shit out of them.” 36. “She said [Ted Cruz] is a pussy.” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-ted-cruz-pussy_us_56b9416ae 4b08069c7a890fb) 37. “Grab them by the pussy” … “Big phony tits” … “moved on her like a bitch” … “I tried to fuck her”. 38. “Two Corinthians”. 39. When asked to name his favorite Bible verse, he named the only verse in the entire Bible ​ that Jesus explicitly repudiated. (http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/04/trumps-bible-fail/478425/) 40. Trump is the least charitable billionaire in America, and uses charity money for his own purposes. 41. He built his fortune on gambling. 42. He has Trump-branded strip clubs. 43. He’s scammed countless numbers of people (not even including Trump University) in the name of greed. 44. He’s appeared on the cover of Playboy. 45. He’s made cameo appearances in Playboy movies. ​ ​ (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-playboy-porn_us_57eee2fbe4b 0c2407cde0fd2) 46. He’s attacked countless numbers of people through insults. 91
