Sam Altman posted TRIUMPH OF EVIL about D. Trump. Here in the interest of better government for the US, I respond to Altman's post. Who am I? I've posted long and often at HN, especially on relatively technical topics in applied mathematics. I am doing an Internet information technology startup where the core of the work is some of my original applied math for higher quality information for the users. I am a US citizen with no connection with any political campaign. I live in the state of NY and there am registered as a Democrat. I've used the Internet to try to keep up on the race for President of the US (POTUS). Currently I intend to vote for Trump. > But Trump is wrong about the more important part: how to fix these problems. Well, from all I've seen, so far Trump's statements about the economy are generalities. Are those generalities bad? Apparently not: As of now, at http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/republican_delegate_count.html http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/repub... apparently on the first ballot in the Republican Convention in Cleveland in July, Trump will receive at least 1542 votes and, thus, comfortably over the 1237 he needs for the nomination. So, so far his economic plans, although just generalities, were part of a successful campaign. Maybe in the rest of the campaign Trump will provide more details. I hope he will. For Alman's claim that Trump is "wrong", Altman didn't mention anything, not specifics, not even generalities. So, there is no way for me to tell just why Altman believes that Trump is "wrong". > He is irresponsible in the way dictators are. Altman didn't give any specific case where Trump was "irresponsible". Being "in the way dictators are" doesn't mean much since I am sure that Altman, Trump, and all dictators are the same in that they eat, sleep, breathe, talk, and more. To have something critical about Trump, we need something more specific. > Trump’s casual racism, misogyny, and conspiracy theories are without precedent among major presidential nominees. I've read a lot about Trump and frequently read that Trump is racist and misogynist. Since I would be very concerned if Trump were those things, I've looked for solid evidence but so far have found none. The sources I read gave no solid evidence, and neither did Altman. The evidence I have found indicates that Trump is just the opposite from racist and misogynist. > He has said that a judge of Mexican descent isn’t treating him fairly because of his heritage and that we should ban Muslims from entering the country. I dispute the claim about Trump and the judge: From all I have seen, Trump believes the judge has treated him unfairly in the case. One Trump claim is that the case should have been dismissed on summary judgment. Another claim is that the case should have been dismissed when the lead plaintiff withdrew from the case. Then, with that unfair treatment, Trump asked why, why did the judge treat Trump unfairly? So, as at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWKmpB7SeNE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWKmpB7SeNE Trump said: > All I'm trying to do is figure out why I'm being treated so unfairly by a judge. And a lot of people agree with it. All I want to do, all I want to do is find out why I'm being treated so unfairly by a judge. In looking for an answer to this question, Trump noticed the judge's Mexican ancestry and political activities that conflict with some of Trump's positions on illegal immigration from Mexico. Trump concluded that those facts about that judge explain why the judge treated Trump unfairly. Trump never claimed that the a judge with Mexican ancestry would have to treat him unfairly. Instead Trump noticed that the judge DID treat Trump unfairly, asked why, and noticed the judge's ancestry and political activities. http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-keeps-up-attacks-on-judge-gonzalo-curiel-1464911442 http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-keeps-up-attacks-on... “I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest,” Mr. Trump said. At http://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/4-reasons-why-judge-curiel-in-trump-university-case-should-recuse-himself http://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/4-reasons-why-judge-curiel... there is much more detail on the case and why the judge should recuse himself from the case. If there is any racism here, it is from the judge. Indeed, if investigate a little, the judge is too close to some groups who want CA to be returned to Mexico and all persons in the US of Western European descent to return to Europe -- wildly racist. > To anyone familiar with the history of Germany in the 1930s, it’s chilling to watch Trump in action. Though I know intellectually it’s easy in hard economic times to rile people up with a hatred of outsiders, it’s still surprising to watch this happen right in front of us. Clearly from his many statements, Trump wants the US to enforce the long existing US laws on immigration, e.g., the laws that his wife Melania DID follow correctly. I've listened to nearly all of Trump's debate performances, speeches, and rallies, and what I have heard is that always or nearly so each time Trump says that we should stop illegal immigration he also says right away that he is for LEGAL immigration. "A hatred of outsiders" has nothing to do with the desire and need to enforce our immigration laws. That's enough, Sam. Sam, you blew it.
