Der Spiegle, a German magazine, has called him "the most dangerous man in the world." The leader of a Swedish nationalist party that staerted as a neo-Nazi white supremicist group has disavowed him. J.K. Rowling tweeted that he's worse than Voldemort. Leading American conservatives on foreign policy have written an open letter warning not to support him.
No matter who you are, or what corner of the earth you're from, Donald J. Trump is a danger to you.
"Trump is a danger to our national security" said a former legal advisor under George W. Bush. While checks and balances keep him slightly more in line nationally, the constiution gives him more leeway internationally. This lack of restricition actually poses a real threat to our country and, obviously, to others.
Trump is completely ignorant about international affairs. When asked about Syria last year, Trump said that he would unleash ISIS to destroy Syria's government. Let that sit for a minute. This is a group that is already killing Christians, gays, destroying holy sites and oppressing women, and Trump wants ISIS to capture Demascus.
Trump could all too easily start a trade war, or a real war. He said he "loves the Chinese" and wants business with them, but in January he stated that he backed a 45% increase on a tarriff. This would risk a trade war between the two largest economies.
Trump is also a risk to America's reputation and power. President Bush and Obama both worked very effectively to assure the world's 1.6 billion Muslims that America is not at war with Islam. Trump basically declared war on all Muslims. This situation is kind of like the one in WWII where Hitler declared war on all Jews and tried to take over the world and kill all of them.
There is nothing more frightening than the idea that our next President is a global joke. And that's exactly what he is.

It is scary to think about how real the possibility of Trump becoming our president is. It seems odd how he is gaining so much support when there is so much negative content about him out on the media.
