Donald Trump dividing Americans with his caustic rhetoric

Donald Trump and the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, both have huge egos. If Trump were to be elected president of the United States, we are most likely heading to war with North Korea.

With China's blessings, Kim Jong Un has nothing to lose. Asian countries are having territorial disputes with China, Europeans are having problems with a refugee crisis, the Russians, the Middle East conflicts and Iran.

The U.S. is bogged down with building the Mexican wall. We are too spread out throughout the world. It is not helping us by being divided by Donald Trump's rhetoric.

When Ronald Reagan was president, he told Russian President Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" in Germany, but Donald Trump is telling us to have the Mexicans build the wall.

President Reagan knew the nation is more united when people are not divided. You should just listen to the Donald Trumps doll that was made in China. The doll says several different catch-phrases: "I have a huge ego" "Try to avoid shaking hands whenever possible." If he doesn't want to shake hands, are foreign leaders supposed to bow or to salute Donald Trump if he is elected president?

The Chinese leader Mao Zedong had a little red book printed in the 1960s for everyone to carry around. Are we all going to carry a talking Donald Trump doll that is made in China?
