Europe terrified of a Trump presidency

[Takket]

good OP-ED! Plays on the whole "Frankenstein" theme of the Trump candidacy.

It’s not just that Trump retweets to his six million followers a quote attributed to Mussolini: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” It’s not just that Trump refuses to condemn David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, who has expressed support for him. It’s not just that violence is woven into Trump’s language as indelibly as the snarl woven into his features — the talk of shooting somebody or punching a protester in the face, the insulting of the disabled, the macho mockery of women, the anti-Muslim and anti-Mexican tirades. It’s not just that he could become Silvio Berlusconi with nukes.

2. None of those things disqualifies him enough

but he's sure to commit more errors soon. Europe usually is amused so it's something if they are fearful. They're spoiled with Obama, they forgot we had the Bush dynasty and Nixon..
