My wife taught me well, and today I love dogs; sometimes more than people. Of course I knew that Donald Trump hated blacks, Hispanics, women, and Muslims, but when I discovered that he hates dogs, that was the last straw.
Trump was denouncing the FDA, calling them the “food police,” which is what I believed was the basic reason for its existence. Was Trump once again completely uninformed about the subject he was railing against, or does he hate everyone and everything?
Trump’s complaint about the FDA was laughable. He said that it “dictate[s] how the federal government expects farmers to produce fruits and vegetables and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food.”
First of all, if corporate farms were not regulated, the American people would be consuming the least nutritional and most dangerous food on the planet. It would once again be ‘profit before people.’
Donald Trump is a perfect example of why I believe dogs are better than people. But he hates dogs. He is not concerned that 11 of the 23 pet foods the FDA pulled off of the shelves last year contained listeria and salmonella. My wife has done extensive research about the contents of dog foods. Many of them have additives which can shorten a dog’s life.
As for Trump, who claims that he ‘wants to make America great again,’ he should read this quote: “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi
Knowing how Trump denies the necessity of agencies designed to protect consumers, we understand his lack of concern for the American people. He has already informed us that he would be eager to use our nuclear arsenal. Is this the man forecast in the writings of the ancients who will cause the end of the world? Is Trump the “anti-Christ?” I should reject this idea, but I cannot. His disdain for most Americans is well-known. He associates himself with members of “Alt-Right,” which is composed of white supremacists. These are certainly Trump’s “deplorables.”
This election concerns me deeply. I am beginning to lose faith in many of my fellow Americans, and I have lost all faith in the media. There continues to be no discussion about the serious issues facing our nation. Although Hillary Clinton has detailed plans to address each of them, Trump has none; and yet the polls claim that they are in a virtual tie. How can this be? How can a schoolyard bully be in contention for what was once the most respected office in the world?
I am most disappointed to learn that many who call themselves “independents” are supporting the most unqualified candidate in history.
Regardless of the outcome, for myself and millions of other clear-thinking Americans, Trump will never be my president. I will never respect a man who fails to have American values. Our nation’s president cannot hate minorities, and claim to accept only one religion in our country.
I could never accept a president who hates dogs; that for me is the ultimate sin.
Please repost and keep the American people informed. Than you.
