Well a lot of that lies in the fact that you must make a leap of faith . Has Trump ever been implicated in backroom deals ? Has Trump ever been proven to be unsuccessful ? this is where people shout bankruptcy without understanding that bankruptcy is a smart move and doesn ' t actually mean you are broke . Have other countries voiced refusal to work with him ? Have other countries voiced that they would work with him ? On the flipside , was there any proof that HillaryJillGaryInsert any other candidate could be trusted ? I think Trump has already shown that he can control his rhetoric , especially when he reads from the prompter . The fact that the nation is divided still , is largely imo , due to the media running a witch hunt . I also never bought into the claims of him being racist , the man has been a household name for 40 years , in that span of time no one accused him of racism until a couple months ago .
