Donald Trump Vs Hillary Clinton

A friend asked me why, if given a choice, I would choose Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, and this post is my response to that. For those who look at every issue in black and white (I call them politically color-blind), I wish to make it clear that I do NOT hail Donald Trump as the savior of mankind. This is just an objective analysis of why he is a better choice RELATIVE to Hillary Clinton. If you are unable to understand this nuance, then I have been called a redneck Milo spokesperson once before, and one more time won't make a difference.

Donald Trump Vs. Hillary Clinton

1. Tax Reforms

The Trump administration rolled out an ambitious almost $1.5 trillion worth of Tax Reform that reduced tax brackets from seven to four, which meant a bigger paycheck for a large percentage of Americans (Smith, 2018). In contrast, Hillary Clinton, being the socialist that she is, advocated higher taxes on the average American citizen (Jones, 2016).

2. Corporate Regulations

Trump has nullified hundreds of corporate regulations on education, employment, and corporates, which means greater autonomy for businesses and more development (Brown, 2017). This is the most ambitious crackdown on regulations since Ronald Reagan.

3. Unemployment

As a result of granting autonomy to corporations, businesses were able to create more jobs. According to a June 2018 survey, the unemployment rate in the U.S. was 3.8%, the lowest in 18 years (Johnson, 2018). It could not have been possible in a Clinton presidency as she would have reinforced Obama-era regulations.

4. Immigration Policy

There is a lot of controversy surrounding Trump's immigration policies. The left-liberal media has branded him a racist for banning Muslims from entering the U.S. However, he never banned Muslims per se; he tightened the screening process from seven countries in the Middle East (Williams, 2017). Leftists do not know that not every Arab is a Muslim, and more Muslims live in South Asia than in the Middle East, whom he didn't ban. Secondly, Obama deported and arrested more Muslims than Trump has, but Obama, being the con man he was, went discreet about it (Miller, 2015). Leftists also do not know that ICE arrests dropped from 23% in 2014 to 17% in 2017. Thirdly, Clinton wanted to ease immigration, which would mean cultural suicide like what's happening in the UK, Germany, France, and Sweden (Thompson, 2016).

5. Humanitarian War

Hillary Clinton was the one who helped create the idea of "humanitarian war," i.e., aiding the rebels of a particular country to cause a civil war and destabilize the state. She was a key figure behind the invasion of Syria; she convinced Obama to go after Gaddafi, made a plea to her husband Bill Clinton in 1999 to bomb Yugoslavia, and legitimized the Honduran military coup in 2009, which claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Hondurans (Davis, 2012). She is one of the main reasons, apart from Henry Kissinger, why the Middle East crisis exists.

6. Iraq War

Apart from all these catastrophes, she was the key figure in advocating the invasion of Iraq, while on the other hand, Trump called the Iraq War a "big fat mistake that destabilized the Middle East" (Green, 2015).

7. Destruction of ISIS

Under the idea of Humanitarian War, the Obama administration is responsible for creating ISIS by providing weapons to extremists. The Obama Administration, with Hillary, never let the military do its job because the left doesn't want extremists to end; it uses them as useful idiots. On the other hand, Trump let the military do its job and allowed the necessary crackdown on terrorists (Clark, 2018).

8. Identity Politics

Despite being the neo-conservative that would give most Republicans and Evangelical Christians nightmares, Hillary Clinton reinvented herself as an anti-racism, anti-Islamophobia, pro-LGBTQ social justice warrior against the fascist, racist, straight white men. Though she once notoriously called Black children “super-predators” and referred to welfare recipients as “deadbeats” (White, 2016). She also plays the victim card of being a woman instead of contesting on policies.

9. Cold War/Nuclear War

Despite claiming to be pro-LGBT and a champion of women's rights, Hillary gets cozy with the Wahhabi Saudi regime, which is the most homophobic and misogynistic regime on earth. And in order to get the arms trade of Saudi Arabia booming, the Democratic Party doesn't want the Cold War to end (Anderson, 2017). Hillary has always advocated strengthening NATO against Russia, which means pushing the two countries away from each other. On the other hand, Trump is on extremely good terms with Putin. Similarly, North Korea has agreed to come to the table with Trump, while with a war-monger like Hillary as President, we know what to expect.

10. Hypocrisy

Both Hillary and Trump might be anti-Muslim, anti-LGBT, misogynistic racists, but the difference is that Trump doesn't claim to be a champion of Human Rights while Hillary does. Moreover, Trump might have banned illegal immigrants from Muslim countries, but Hillary is responsible for bombing Muslim countries (Taylor, 2018).

In conclusion, while both candidates have their flaws, the reasons outlined above make a compelling case for choosing Trump over Clinton. Each point demonstrates significant policy differences that could have long-lasting impacts on American society and the global landscape.
