Trump used his as a money pot while all of the places he has claimed to donate to say they never got any money. Only when called out for not giving money he promised to a Veteran's organization did he actually do it.
Hillary had a private email server, Trump defrauded thousands of people with his "University" and hundreds of small businesses which he defaulted on contracts because he could bleed people dry by stalling the civil suit process with his retained team of lawyers.
Hillary lied about having pneumonia, Trump lies about literally everything he opens his mouth about. Depending on the hour of the day, he will be building a wall and deporting 11 million people, or working on an amnesty program and saying he never said there'd actually be a wall. He will be punishing women for having an abortion or the doctors who perform them, or saying that's not the government's job. He'll be swearing to repeal Obergefell, celebrating NC anti-LBGT laws, or saying he's a friend of the LGBT community. He'll be the lead charge on the birther movement, or he'll be telling everyone that Hillary started it.
It's easy as shit to be a white, middle class guy and know that your life isn't going to change much with a Trump presidency. But part of being a humanist, if you are one, is thinking about all of the people whose lives could be a whole lot worse. As a black man in this country, I will gladly vote for Hillary if the other option is Donald Trump. It's not even close. Donald Trump nominating 2-3 Supreme Court Justices would be absolutely abhorrent.
Going to quote this just to keep it visible and because it is such a poignant rebuke of young, idealist white privilege.
