Today, Hillary for America is releasing a new TV ad that demonstrates the dangers of what a Trump presidency means for the United States, as Hillary Clinton laid out in her remarks last night. Voters don’t need to wonder what life would be like with Trump in the Oval Office. He tells us nearly every day in his own words.
Under a Trump presidency, Americans are divided by their gender, race and creed. Women are diminished to a number and their consent is no matter. African Americans live in poverty with no jobs, no education, no future. Muslims are prone to terrorism, worthy of our suspicion and must be tracked. People with disabilities are stigmatized. Veterans aren’t strong. Immigrants are criminals and rapists who must be shipped back where they came from, regardless of the cost or number of families torn apart.
Under a Trump presidency, our goal is to be “unpredictable” with nuclear weapons. Small business owners aren’t paid what they’re owed for their hard work. Climate change isn’t real. Marriage is not equal. The right of workers to organize is unimportant. Planned Parenthood is defunded. Health care is ripped away from millions. Commonsense reforms to prevent gun violence are a fleeting thought of the past. Reproductive rights are dumped in the ash heap of history.
As Hillary Clinton has noted, everything is at stake in this election and “nothing will change if he’s elected because we know who he is. As Michelle Obama says, the presidency doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are.”
