6. Donald Trump peddles xenophobia and racism, and doesn’t discriminate with his
discrimination.
Trump has made plenty of xenophobic and hateful comments about Muslims, Mexicans, Native Americans, Afri-
can-Americans and Jews, and he pals around with white supremacists and has a white nationalist as a campaign
chief.
Women now make up 47 percent of the workforce; in 40 percent of households, women are the only or primary
breadwinner. And women are a majority of the electorate. Trump is taking his own advice and treating women
like shit. But that’s a lot of voters.
3. On 9/11, Donald Trump noted on TV that his Financial District building was now the
tallest.
On one of the darkest days in American history, when we lost thousands of men, women and children to what is
still considered the largest terrorist attack in the world, Trump decided to pick up the phone and call into a televi-
sion station to point out that, now, his building was the tallest in Manhattan. There are no words.
Trump wants to take $20 billion of existing federal dollars to fund private school voucher programs. He says his
$20 billion program would provide vouchers for 11 million students to attend the schools of their choice, but the
reality is it will mean that every dollar now spent on disadvantaged kids, English language learners and students
with special needs would be redirected out of public education. If you do the math, his plan would harm 10 stu-
dents for every 1 student it covers.
Vouchers don’t boost student achievement or improve opportunities for kids from low-income families; they take
needed money from public schools while failing to offer greater educational resources.
