Trump supporters 100% only care about themselves and their fellow trailer-people so nothing you say is going to change their minds about trump.

Screwed either way imo. But I think Trump is a bigger danger. He thinks with his bravado and ego, not with his head. He is easily antagonized. He is cocky and brash. His knowledge of foreign affairs and political players in the world scene is woe
When the leaders of the countries who are your enemy are strongly pulling for a candidate, while your allies are already throwing down bans and airing concerns even prior to the election, you should be worried.

Why should we give a rat's ass what Merkel thinks. Why should we be spending tax money protecting Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. We are not the world police. NATO can protect their own.
We don't need to spread democracy to heathen third world countries.
We should retool and rebuild America into the manufacturing power house it used to be. With decent, good paying jobs people can afford to buy American. We don't really need to sell to the rest of the world. Just have to make multi-national corporations difficult and expensive. There needs to be a disincentive to chasing the bottom line and return to quality, long lasting, easy to fix products. Out sourcing and importation should be a last resort.
Corporations need to succeed or fail without suckling from the Government teat. Although there are some projects and infrastructure that definitely belong to Government.
We can grow adequate food to feed American. Maybe even large hydroponic greenhouses to grow things we normally import.
Our defense needs to be second to none in the air, on the sea, on the land and in space.
We need to provide for our old, infirmed and veterans.
And we need to redo our education system to number one in the world with a strong emphasis on civics, Government and community.
Make America Great Again.

This is pretty much the general populace of the mental and spiritual state of people in America, saying these things don't matter. It's not so much that Trump is a problem. It's the people in this country that are more so the problem ... highly indoctrinated, selfish, materialistic, ignorant ... he's a direct by product of the system that produces "donald trumps" on a regular basis. These people have more in common with him than anything.

I have to admit I thought the same thing at first but I realized it's more than that. What we are seeing is a political shift both parties are moving left. In the Republican party it's moving away from the far right and to center. This is why the far right republicans are panicking and fear they are losing the party they are. And then we have Hillary who used to claim to be a center candidate moving left onto what would be communist territory. Eventually the democrats will have the same thing happen they will shift back towards the tight.
This is a repeated over and over when a party gets to far to the left or right. They lose and the party starts moving towards the center after they realize they alienated many of their base.
