Why Trump Should Drop out of the Race

It's not because I don't like him.

If you know me even a little bit, you probably know that I’m not a fan of Donald Trump. This isn’t to say that I’m a fan of Hillary Clinton either, but I do think that maybe she is an all around better candidate than Trump. It doesn’t matter though, because I’m not voting for either of them, and I’m beginning to stray too far from the argument I want to make.

I think Trump should do something useful and drop out, but no, it’s not because of the dislike I have for him.

Since the beginning of his campaign, Trump has been radical in both his words and his actions. A plethora of the policies he plans to propose are not only unethical but also, they are unconstitutional. He speaks poorly in regards to minorities and women. He has no relation to the middle class family, as he started out his adulthood with a million-dollar loan from his father that he describes as “small.” He is the opposite of the perfect candidate, and yet, he is supported by many.

The point is, Trump is a huge step backwards for the United States of America, but he is widely loved.

Donald Trump has divided the Republican Party and his campaign has incited riots all over the country. If he were to drop out now, he would expose the weakness of the entire American government, and its people might be better off for it. If Trump were to make a fool out of his followers and the government by revealing that his entire campaign was a joke, the current state of our politics might change. It is possible that the citizens of the United States will discover the ludicrousness of a two-party system and give more attention to third-party candidates. I know what you’re thinking, and I know that I sound insane. But it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.
