He has spent months being rude and abrasive. His views on nuclear proliferation, NATO, white supremacists, Mexicans, immigrants and Moslems have tarnished the position of the United States in world opinion. Now he says he will be "so Presidential, you will be bored". He thinks the Presidential campaign is entertainment? NO! The presidential campaign is an opportunity for voters to learn about the candidates' views and agenda. Trump has made that clear. Now he wants the voters to believe that he is going to change. That he thinks the voters want entertainment from their candidate is a gross insult to the intelligence and seriousness of the voter and the process. And this is the same kind of deception that he has used in his business practices - filing multiple bankruptcies that stiffed his local subcontractors and, while he talks about stemming immigration, himself hires immigrants and makes his products overseas.
He makes a mockery of the term, "political correctness", while showing no respect for government, for the political process nor the office holders, from Presidential candidates to the sitting President. This is not showing leadership - it is destroying the fabric that binds us. He undermines the United States' functioning government. For example, while I am no fan of Senator Ted Cruz, no way!, calling him "Lyin' Ted", does not give him the respect that is his do and diminishes him without bothering to present content. And do you notice that most supporters refer to Donald, not as "Donald", but as "Mr. Trump"? Even the Governor of New Jersey called him Mr Trump, while Mr Trump himself referred to the governor as "Chris". What does that say about his attempt to manipulate images?
Now he promises all sorts of things that he cannot possibly deliver.
Bottom line - nothing he says can be trusted.
