He and Donald Trump met when Springer hosted the 2008 Miss Universe pageant, which Trump co-owned. Springer wouldnt be drawn on whether he thinks the accusations of sexual impropriety against Trump have any validity, but he fiercely condemns the Trump presidency.
I think, nothing against him personally, but he has no business being our president. He doesnt represent American values. Three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton. Now the electoral college is in question if we find out what the Russians did to affect just a few votes.
In any event, America is a multicultural society, and America was created with the idea that it didnt matter who your parents were or where they were from, or if you believed or prayed to God. You could follow your dreams, thats America. He wants to replace the Statue of Liberty with a wall. Its the most un-American thing you can think of, and to have that in the White House just defeats everything we grew up believing about our country and every reason why we send our kids off to fight and die to protect this country.
If you dont believe in the idea of America, why the hell are you running for president? If Im angry at Donald Trump, its because he ran for president in the first place not believing in our country.
