I'm not a liberal and didn't vote for Obama.

However Obama hasn't severed ties with our allies. Trump has already burned international bridges.

I don't know how Trump would be as president but he could be an interesting choice.

Given some of the things we have had as president, he couldn't be worse. And he might be a whole lot better than one would think.

Trump is a narcissist who likes to bully those who disagree with him and takes everything personally (as if it is not obvious at this point, right?)

To think he would be effective as a President is sheer lunacy. This is turning into a William Hung season of politics for Republicans.
Well that disqualifies the majority of our career politicians including our current President. The bold sums up Obama and Hillary as well.
I agree with your summary of Trump.

He is 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and has resided in the U.S. for the last 24 years. He meets the minimum qualifications.

He's a Natural Born Citizen who isn't corrupt.

No one owns him. (That's what scares some people.)

Don't forget about the money... the candidate has to be able to either raise the funds needed or pay for it from their own funds. Although that is not a constitutional requirement, ilack of money sure keeps most people from running for office.

Those allies will be singing his praises if he's elected. They are already starting their own tough talk and realized they've created a huge immigration / muslim mess in their own countries.
