Donald Trump: Qualified or Unqualified?

Constitutionally speaking he is qualified.

Anyone that disrespects a veteran with a Purple Heart and was a POW, is not, nor will ever be, fit to serve as a the Commander in Cheif.

At least this picture proves that his hair is real!

Utterly and disastrously unqualified. 4 Bankruptcies, an enormous self-serving ego and a complete inability to understand that half the crap he's promising is far beyond his power to control.

WOW there are some roller coaster answers on here. He is Qualified legally, but so am I.

Here is what Donald is bringing to the table. I call it the "Mad American" vote. He isn't appealing to the die hard republicans, he is appealing to the moderate Republicans that are tired of the Hard Line, Tea Party Republicans out there. He is saying what those people are thinking. And with that the Mob now has a voice. His main criticism of John McCain was that he didn't help Veterans. That message got lost when he said more but its a legitimate beef. The government is picking away at Military benefits like kids pick candy canes off the Christmas tree. They sent us to war in after 9/11 now they talk about raising co-pay on Retired healthcare benefits. Seriously? They are redoing the retirement because they "Can't afford it" yet some how corporations still are pumping out tanks and Jets even though the military said they didn't need them.

Yea I wouldn't vote for Donald. He is a little off the wall for me. But His following will grow as long as he keeps appealing to the anger inside.

Qualified compared to whom?

Are any of them truly qualified?

As LTC John Shaw stated, they are qualified under the Constitution but what really makes one qualified to be President of the United States?

This clown isn't even qualified to handle his own property let alone a nation. He's a narcissistic racist who feeds the ignorant and racist.

Since when did we concern ourselves with a candidate's qualifications? If that were a criteria, the current President wouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. He had no executive experience whatsoever. He had no business experience whatsoever. His record as a legislator was abysmal inasmuch as he ducked votes more often than making a decision and standing behind it. Now, before you jump all over me, check the facts. All that I have mentioned is demonstrably true. So, no, qualifications have nothing to do with it. To be President, a person need only pass one test: Election to the office. Therein the current President has excelled. He was not only elected, he was reelected. Thus, if Trump is elected, he'll be just as qualified as Obama and every other elected US President. Now, if you ask me whether or not I think Trump can do a good job in the Oval Office, that's another thing altogether. I would have to look back on past experience and consider if there has been any other candidate with Trump's qualifications and was elected to high executive office, and consider their performance as an indicator. One such fairly leaps to mind: Arnold Schwartzeneger (sp?). Arnold, like Trump, is a very successful businessman (albeit in a very different commercial arena). He was a successful business executive. However, like Trump, he had no experience as an elected official of any sort. Like Trump, Arnold well managed his image. So, how did Arnold do as governor of California? Terrible. He tried to manage the state like a business and quickly learned that governing as a horse of a different color. He had very good proposals for strengthening the state's economic outlook but was unable to "sell" them to the state legislature or the people. He then gave up and allowed the state to plummet into the abyss. (Yes, California is no longer teetering on the edge. We are now fully entrapped in financial quagmire and elected one of the people who was primarily responsible for putting us there so he could finish the job.) Thus, I do not have great expectations for a Trump Administration should he be elected...

I can look past the hero comment. He did say McCain was a hero four times after that anyways to be fair. All the information needs to be stated and not just the parts that suit an agenda.
