You're conflating "business here" with "business abroad". It happens a lot. These are two separate topics. Trump is openly advocating for subjugation of women

You're conflating "business here" with "business abroad". It happens a lot. These are two separate topics.
Trump is openly advocating for subjugation of women and minorities in the U.S.. He's explicitly called for firing a judge due to their race. I mean seriously?
And I think there is pretty clear evidence that Trump is not "just saying" racist and misogynist things. Especially on the misogyny point, he actively behaves like a d-bag. It's hard to think the race thing isn't just a bit better buried.
He has a history for trampling all over his business partners. Of lashing out when things don't go his way (see: basically every Trump media event of the last few weeks). How far you think that will go with the international community? Didn't get the deal he wanted from S. Korea? He goes on a race hating rant, and hey guess what, now the trade deal doesn't exist at all.
Ask the Philipines how having an emotionally unstable clown in charge has gone for them on the international stage. Then imagine that emotionally unstable clown has control of the largest military humanity has ever seen.
On the other hand, Hilary, by all accounts, has been praised as great to work with. I may not approve of the outcome of many of her decisions, but I'd rather have someone that can appear poised and level-headed dealing with people like Putin, or other suspect world leaders.
I think you're right. It is more nuanced. But many of those nuances we may never see. I have only my gut to guide me on them.
It says in matters international and domestic, Trump is a volatile clown. While Hilary will at least keep the dysfunctional status quo.
