Trump vs. Buffet

#3

JJ, you're a bit all over the place with this one, but I'll try to offer a counterpoint.

 

Warren Buffett is not just generous with his money (upon his death, most of his wealth will be transferred into a charitable trust, similar to what Andrew Carnegie did), but he also offers up his time to college students, free of charge, several times a year.  He actually released his tax returns this year when Donald attempted to call him out.

 

Now, if you're arguing that Donald should get a free ride because he will save us trillions if elected through better trade practices, as your second paragraph suggests, I really don't know what to say.  That's a 17th century monarchy argument, and I can't believe anyone's making it in this nation in this century.

 

There is no nobility in Donald's candidacy.  He will use this run to line his own pockets if he loses and his friends' pockets if he wins.  He is not interested in anyone but Donald, and where your interests cross his will be the your sole personal benefit.

 

Donald doesn't DO sacrifice.  He has neither public nor military service on his record, is completely uncharitable, and discards obligations and responsibilities as it suits him at any given time.  He is the king of cost/benefit as it pertains to his decisions and loyalties.

 

In short, he's no damn hero.  And Warren Buffett is.
