Just look. Does he look like the compassionate, genuine, and well-intentioned individual that you'd like running our country? I doubt it. It looks more like someone who cares more about themselves than the greater good, and isn't afraid to push people down to get what they want. The image isn't manipulated, but rather captured a moment that shows what I think is simply a combination of stubbornness, hate, and force. Does he look like he believes in what he's talking about? Definitely. Does it look like whatever he is saying he has taken into careful consideration and weighed different opinions on, while trying to remain professional and open to better suggestions? Nope.
The fact that Trump has been gaining grounds, and is a potential front runner for the Republican party, frankly, is terrifying. If we want to progress as a country, the last thing we need is a man whose solution to problems is building a giant wall around the country and kick out anyone who doesn't seem "American" enough. A lot of people seem to forget that America was founded on immigration... a country open to those who seek freedom and the American dream. But that's beside the point, right?
As an Internet meme, I feel this image shows how most of us feel when we think of Donald Trump. He seems like a joke, one that we couldn't see being taken seriously. But his ignorance and the trail of problems that that brings is often overshadowed by the fact that he "speaks his mind" and, well, the very insensitive things he speaks his mind about are unfortunately still on the minds of many other people who choose to stand behind him.
To those that dislike him, he is a joke, but it's a joke that thousands of people are starting to take very, very seriously.
