Hillary vs Trump

                                         Who is the worst?

As the Presidential elections in The United States are near, the battle for next POTUS between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump is getting nastier everyday. After 3 Presidential debates and countless days of election campaign, one thing looks pretty clear: none among the 2 nominees deserve to be the President of US. So the question in front of us isn't, who is the best? but rather, who is the worst? 
Its not an easy question to answer. While one makes insane and highly controversial statements about women, blacks etc. The other is a bit cunning and shallow. While one is a racist and a sexist of highest order. The other is a pseudo-feminist and and an Islamic terror apologist. 

 Now let's compare their positions on key issues -:

Who is worst for India? 

Trump recently in a rally addressing Indian-American community said "India is a “great friend” of the U.S. in the fight against “radical Islamic terrorism.” He promised to strengthen diplomatic and military ties with India, condemned the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and on the Indian Parliament  and praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“If I am elected President, the Indian and Hindu community will have a true friend in the White House, that I can guarantee you,” he said. 
Trump, no doubt, is pro-India while Hillary's stand regarding India is not very clear, Trump's hard stance on Islamic terrorism and free trade policy would be beneficial for India. Trump's conservative stand towards Indian IT in America is definitely a cause to worry. 
On the other hand, the major funds for Clinton's foundation comes from Islamic countries. Islamic countries stance on issues such as Kashmir has always been pro-Pakistan and anti-India. Plus, Hillary's staff has other  pro-Pakistan people such as Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton whose family has been allegedly associated  with Muslim Brotherhood and other such extremist organisations. So as far Indian interest is concerned, Trump, clearly has an upper hand.

Views on other issues -:













Trump's view on Abortion is regressive whereas his views on Climate change shows nothing but his ignorance. But an interesting point to note is that, Trump, being a conservative still supports same sex marriage or in other words homosexuality, which is a welcome and a healthy step. 

While Hilary being a true left-liberal oppose capital punishment and disagrees with absolute right to gun ownership. Hillary's views as well as actions on terrorism are very soft. Her silence on Islamic terrorism is worrisome. 

The reason why I, in the very beginning said that the choice in front of the US electorates is not about the best among the two but rather about less bad among the two. The controversies which surrounds among the two is appalling. 

Here are few of the controversial statements given by both the nominees for POTUS -:

                                                         Donald Trump

                                              
                                                         Trump on Muslims



                                                    
                                                          Trump on immigrants





Hillary Clinton











 Whether it is Hillary Clinton's email controversy or Donald Trumps women groping controversy. Both the candidates lack basic ethics and morals for the President post. They are just unfit for this post.

While the latest trend and polls is clearly showing Hillary Clinton being quite ahead of Donald Trump for the race of POTUS, you never know what's going to happen in future. As of now we can only predict.
