My fact checking - Trump vs Clinton, what are the answers to your dislikes & likes?

I am sick of hearing how terrible Clinton is over Trump.  Oh, Trump’s wonderful!  What? Really?  Okay, here’s a comparison of the two.

Clinton:  The complaints.
·         Emails. 
o   The FBI and Attorney General both say she didn’t break any laws and should not be prosecuted. 
o   Bush & Cheney deleted 22 MILLION emails. (Newsweek. 2016)
·         Benghazi. 4 people died in the Benghazi attack. 
o   Hillary was Secretary of State when this happened.
o   Leon Panetta, the then Secretary of Defense, testified to Congress that there was no forewarning about this attack at all.
o   The House Investigative Committee found no evidence of wrong doing by Hillary Clinton.

Trump: The supposed good things.
·         Millionaire businessman
o   Started out with $2 million given to him by his father.
o   His father ultimately gave him $14 million.
o   Trump has actually filed Chapter 11 six times, four times within two years in the 1990s, once more in 2004 and once more in 2009.
o   Fox News reports that he “has been sued at least 60 times by individuals and businesses who accuse him of failing to pay for work done at his various properties”.
o   The Department of Labor cites that two of his businesses have been cited 24 times beginning in 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage.
o   He does not pay his contractors and employees and has had more than 200 liens have been filed by contractors and employees dating back to the 1980s.  He admitted this!!! “"Let’s say that they do a job that’s not good, or a job that they didn’t finish, or a job that was way late. I’ll deduct from their contract, absolutely,” Trump said. “That’s what the country should be doing."”
o   He makes of habit of paying as late as he can, and only paying 75% of the contracted price.
o   He has continuously and knowingly hired illegal aliens.
o   HE HAS MADE HIS MONEY BY USING AND ABUSING THE AMERICAN WORKER, causing many to lose their businesses, jobs, homes and families.
·         He will bring jobs to America
o   He has sent a majority of his work out of the country.
o   Of the Donald Trump clothing collection, none is made in the USA. It’s made in China, India, Indonesia and South Korea.
o   Trump Home Products are made in Turkey, China, Slovenia and Germany.
o   Trump Hotel products and supplies are made in China, Taiwan and South Korea.
o   Only his Make America Great Again hats are made in the USA and that will stop when the campaign is over.  (Will he pay for them?)
·         He has ties and contacts. Yes, he does, but not the kind we want.
o   He admires Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Muammar Gaddafi, and Saddam Hussein
·          He’s honest and upstanding
o   He denigrates women, prisoners of war, our military, our fallen and wounded warriors, handicapped persons, Hispanics, Blacks, and Jews.
o   He is being brought up on child rape and sexual assault charges.
o   He has been brought up on racial housing discrimination charges.
o   Trump University. Enough said.
o   He is illegally and improperly using Trump Foundation funds for his own personal, business and campaign uses.
o   He has conducted business in and with Cuba despite the embargo forbidding him to do so. He is continuing this practice today.

And, Hillary is corrupt? What color is the sky on your planet?  Economists think that if Trump wins this country will go into such a tail spin that the Great Depression will look like a minor dent.

If you think that Trump is the Christian vote, think again. Max Lucado advises against voting for Trump.  Evangelical leaders advise against it citing, ““has fueled white American nationalism with xenophobic appeals and religious intolerance at the expense of gospel values, democratic principles, and important international relationships.”

So, please, stop. Research. Listen and Learn.  And most importantly, don’t vote Trump.
