I would like to remind the fine citizens all over Japan that Donald Trump does not represent the views and feelings of many Americans. I, for one, am embarrassed by him and hold onto hope that he is defeated next week in his bid to become the next president of the United States of America.

He simply does not possess the right temperament to be our next president, and he also does not know what it takes to deal with leaders of other countries across the globe. He has no political experience, and while he may believe that is a good thing, in my humble opinion it is not a good thing.

Hillary Clinton may not be the best candidate to be the next president, but I am confident in her abilities to be a good president for not only this country, but for the rest of the world.
