I agree with Hillary Clinton and Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg that Trump is a "Threat" to democracy, not just in the U.S. but worldwide.
As an intuitive I can see if he became president it is very likely that the world might resemble the present government in China with all democracies mostly collapsed within 50 to 75 years of him becoming president if this happened. Therefore it is imperative he not become president. Also, all human rights for most people (80% of people worldwide) would end completely and the population of the earth would be reduced by half within 100 years just from war and starvation.

Hillary Clinton warned that Donald Trump is a "dangerous" threat to American democracy on Wednesday, using the backdrop of Abraham Lincoln's old stomping grounds to argue that he's undermining the ideals of his party's founder.
"This man is the nominee of the party of Lincoln. We are watching it become the party of Trump, and that's not just a huge loss for our democracy, it is a threat to it," she said from the podium at the Illinois statehouse grounds in Springfield where Lincoln delivered his famous "House Divided" speech.
"Donald Trump's campaign adds up to an ugly, dangerous message to America, a message that you should be afraid, afraid of people whose ethnicity is different or whose religious faith is different or who were born in another country or who hold different political beliefs," Clinton warned.
Clinton attacked Trump's questionable grasp of the constitution and pattern of inflaming of racial tensions as she warned he could not be president of a country once again grappling with racism and unity.

"The challenges we face together do not approach those of Lincoln's time, not even close... But recent events have left people across America asking hard questions about whether we are still a house divided. Despite our best efforts and highest hopes America's long struggle with race is far from finished," she said, pointing to police shootings of black and brown men over the past year and the murders of five Dallas police officers in recent days.
Trump has shifted from more explicitly racist rhetoric like the attacks on a Mexican-American judge overseeing a case against him to more veiled language in recent weeks. He's made passing reference to the killings of black men in Baton Rouge and St. Paul in recent days, but mostly focused on the tragedy in Dallas as he promises to be a "law and order candidate" — a veiled reference to Richard Nixon's campaign message of 1968 that some have derided as racist and divisive.

Clinton owned up to her own part in the polarized country.
"I cannot claim that my words and actions haven't sometimes fueled the partisanship that often stands in the way of our progress. I recognize I have to do better too. I'm running for president with the belief that we need to face up to these challenges and fix them in order to become a stronger, fairer country," she said.

This land and its heritage is yours, mine and everyone's willing to pledge allegiance and understand the solemn responsibilities of American citizenship," she said. "If we do this right and if we have the hard conversation we have to have we will become stronger still, like steel tempered by fire."
