Mr. Donald Trump is running for the presidential position in one of the most powerful countries in the world and recently he has been taken hits from Republicans in the anti-Trump movement. Mitt Romney, for instance, called Mr. Trump a "fraud" and "phony" and the criticisms were broadcasted throughout the media and the world. Despite the harsh words tossing at him, Trump continues to stand up and continue campaigning with his supporters, hoping to win a spot in the Oval Office this November. He has said statements that many Republican elders look down on and many Americans have criticized him for saying such statements fearing that he might anger other world leaders and nations once he becomes the next President of the United States. And the most recent criticisms on Mr. Trump is that no one is sure where he stands in social issues. In fact, Mr. Trump once stated that he believed waterboarding should be implemented but in less than 24 hours after a GOP debate, he does not believe that the use of waterboarding is a wise decision. His indecisiveness leads public and the GOP leaders to come to the conclusion that he does not have what it takes to be the next US leader.
Despite his flaws and indecisive positions on social issues, here are a few reasons why I do not judge him:
1. First of all, if we look at his work background, he has no political experience. He is a businessman who can make millions of dollars but from all the statement he said on political issues, he seems to be uninformed and the statements seemed to be more on the whim rather than well-thought out. The GOP candidates who are going against him are lawyers, governors, and senate members who have decades of experiences in the political arena so it is a difficult task to compare them to the businessman that Trump was brought up to be.
2. If we don't like other people judging us, then what give us the right to judge other people?
3. Sure, Mr. Trump had said outrageous comments that made the public and other politicians cringed, but it does not mean he meant what he said or understood the full impact of what he said. He might be misinformed and not educated enough on the issues. We should not forgive or let this flaw slide away easily but we have to keep in mind in order to not be too condemning toward Mr. Trump.
Even though I vow to not judge him, I by no means have any intention to vote for him. He seems like an honest person who likes to speak his mind (look at the comments he made in the past about Muslim and Mexicans) but experiences will always triumph any other personal characteristics--no matter how attractive the person is. I would never have a surgeon who has never done any surgery to perform surgery on me and in the same way I would never want anyone without any political experience to be the next President of the United States. Still, I do not want to judge Mr.Trump as he seems to know little on what it takes to be the next President. Whether we vote or not for Mr. Trump, we should always be objective, non-judgmental, and always look at the fact at hand.
