Doug Farrow: Trump is our only choice; the world depends on it

Trump tromped right in it. But listen, it can get much much worse. If Hillary Clinton gets in, forget about school problems. Forget health care. Forget ISIS. Forget closed borders. Forget inner cities. Forget race relations. Forget paid family leave. Forget everything Hillary has been promising. Hillary will do the one thing that will spell the end of America. She will appoint a liberal Supreme Court Justice. Then she will get everything she wants.

She knows that cannot be done without raising taxes. Sure the top 1 percent will be robbed blind, and the lowest bracket will get a great tax deal. The middle class will get squeezed more every year and new low-paying jobs will not keep up. The budget will never again be balanced. You might get clean air, but in the process your clock will get cleaned.

The national debt will bankrupt America. In four years America will be beyond repair, and Donald Trump will not volunteer again. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea will obliterate world freedom, and guess what? The air will get dirtier than before. Our allies will try to resist, but they cannot even defeat ISIS. They will fall like dominos. There is only one choice in November.

Doug Farrow, Modesto
