He is running to be the most powerful political figure in the world...so yes.

The reason I used Trump as an example is because from what I've read and seen of Clinton she doesn't seem much better but is largely ignored in some media outlets in Australia.
The things Trump has done wrong, like the Trump University scam, not paying his contractors, opportunistic bankruptcies to get out of paying his debts, while he still gets to keep his own profits, and the rape case with a 13 year old victim against him, get barely any attention at all. Most of the attention he gets, is about things that he personally has actually said. And that's already bad enough for most people.
I'd certainly like the US to elect more progressive politicians, but that seems unlikely to happen. In any case, Trump is sub-par even for US standards. He should be completely unacceptable, and fortunately even people of his own party are finally starting to see that.
