[Serious] People who are supporting Donald Trump to be the President, what's your reasoning for that?

America needs MAJOR change when it comes to their politicians. The country has been ruled by people who are used to be in power for far too long.

The gap between rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger, and the opportunities for individuals to follow their dreams, create news businesses is getting smaller and smaller, and reserved for the few.

Trump is no rocket scientist, he´s a man with a big mouth, but he´s also a pretty smart businessman, he might have been helped by his family in the start, but no one without serious talent can make 1 million dollars grow to billions.

But is he presidential material? Well, here´s where things gets icky, my opinion is that he might not be entirely capable of that since it´s an entirely different job to lead a country than to lead a company. I don´t know if anyone of you remember when Businessman Ross Perot was running for office?

Hillary belongs to a different group of politicians, one that has been in power for too long, and the people don´t want history to repeat itself, America isn´t doing amazingly well anymore, people are suffering, far too many are depending on the social welfare system, far too many can´t even afford the obligatory Obamacare insurance program etc.

But voting for Trump would overthrow that old system, the old oligarchs that have been sitting safely in power for several decades.

This will send a signal, it will break the old corrupted elite, wreck total havoc on their plans and free up government to the people so a new system in the future can be built up from scratch, not with Donald...no - but he is the stepping stone, or ...splinter in the eye that they need right now.

Call him the "useful" idiot if you like.
