You misunderstand the term "ad hominem." Ad hominem is a logical fallacy where one attacks an argument by attacking the person making it. The whole point here is that it would be a bad idea to include anything Trump-related on your resume because people perceive Trump to be an idiot. Regardless of whether that belief is well-founded, many people in the legal world hold it, and it could hurt you to put Trump on your resume because of what people would think about you.

But you're obviously a troll. Can the mods please out this guy for abusing anon?

op please describe your life in trump's america

thx
- not losing my job to an america-hating immigrant who I have to train to be my replacement
- not being shot randomly on the street by an illegal alien felon who should have been deported
- not having to pay the local government to police slums filled with illegals
- not having social services/education drained by illegals
- fewer prisons overflowing with illegals
- not signing trade deals with other countries that only benefit the rich and screw american workers
Clearly trolling. This comment looks like it was copied and pasted from one of the many psychos in the Yahoo! comments section of an article about Trump.

I do like the paranoia though. Not sure how many law firms are in the business of hiring illegal immigrants as attorneys. It's fun to imagine the managing partner of a big law office pulling up to a home depot in his F-150 looking for some cheap labor. "I need 3 to help defend ABC Co. in a wage and hour class action suit! I'm paying $20 a day. Don't worry about training, we got some nutjob off the Trump campaign who'll train you up, then you can take his job."

I think this is pretty much played out by now, since OP hasn't come back to try to keep it going.
