Young letter: Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s attacks on the media are direct attacks on the First Amendment. Speech in Trump’s mind is only “Free” for those who support him.

Donald Trump suggests that he will impose not just “stop and frisk” in cities, but Marshal Law and curfews. It is likely the people most affected will be people of color.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about the Geneva Convention. He said he would “bring back waterboarding, and worse.” Torture is torture, and only totalitarian leaders believe it is reasonable.

A vote for Trump is un-American.
