Every four to eight years, all of America’s issues and values come to a head in choosing a new president. This cycle’s main candidates, Donald Trump of the Republican Party and Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party, are the culmination of a country in desperate need of change to address prevalent world issues. Donald Trump, even with glaring issues, is overall a better candidate for presidency.

Many argue that due to Hillary’s many years of service in the Senate, as Secretary of State and as the First Lady, she is by far the most experienced candidate for the job. However, the most experience does not necessarily equate with the most capable and qualified. She represents the status quo for many Americans: a rich politician out of touch with the real world, leaving a legacy of corruption wherever she goes. The economy continues to falter, and with rampant social unrest, America desperately needs a change. What is the point of repeating the cycle of a privileged politician while our economy, both domestically and globally, dims and social tensions rise?

In addition, Hillary Clinton fits the classic “shady politician” persona to a T. Her unwillingness to identify and correct her mistake regarding classified American documents unprotected on her own personal server demonstrates a gross neglect of American safety. The justice system fails to prosecute Hillary due to her standing in the bureaucracy of government.

It is time to make a change and bring in an outsider experienced in business as well as in the life of an everyday American citizen. America needs unity, and the status quo that defines Hillary Clinton would neither pacify nor improve any situation at home or abroad. America no longer has anything to lose and needs to act in the opposite direction of the elite that have governed this country for far too long.

Usually, the climate of the American public buzzes with excitement around election time. Everyone is eager to see who the next President of the United States will be. This year, it is different. With Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump, people are dreading the election more than eagerly awaiting it. However, we must have a new president, and it should not be Donald Trump.

Trump is a liar, a racist, a sexist and part of the top percent of the richest people in America. He openly insults women in the most vulgar ways, and he denies it when he gets caught. He has rarely owned up to what he said in the past; instead, he lies and says that he never said such a thing when there is documented evidence.

Furthermore, Trump wants to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to prevent Mexican citizens from getting into the United States illegally. He constantly talks down the minorities, which actually make up a very large portion of the United States population. One of his policies is to rid the country of Muslims. Some of the countries the United States negotiate with have Muslim leaders. How can we trust him to meet with leaders of other countries without insulting them and creating enemies for the United States?

Most importantly, he is not relatable to the majority of the public. He is a businessman, yes, but he is also one of the wealthiest businessmen in America. He cannot relate to those businessmen and women who are struggling to make ends meet because he has never been there. Not to mention, he does not try. Trump wants to cut taxes for the American people, and that would cause chaos. These tax cuts would create even more debt for the United States, forcing the government to cut programs that are benefiting some part of the population. Either way, the United States suffers a loss because of this idea he wants to implement.

When voting this year, the American people have to choose the best of the worst. That is not Donald Trump. Is Donald Trump—a racist, sexist, lying man with a temper—the man we want to have our nuclear codes?
