Argument Against Trump

The passage analyzed in this independent study activity is a speech on immigration delivered by Donald J. Trump in Phoenix on August 31st, 2016. During his speech, Trump clearly asserted his hard-line approach to illegal immigration in United States.

Over the centuries, America has welcomed presidents from different backgrounds and political viewpoints. Most men who became presidents didn’t win their way in by mentioning what they wanted to accomplish but by displaying empathy and kindness to the citizens. Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson are two great examples of how they earned the citizens heart and support. However, their support and popularity didn’t assure their presidency would be a success which wasn’t as successful as their presidential vote victories.

Unlike Congress, the President was the only representative in the federal government elected by the will of the nation. This meant the President, unlike Congress, was accountable to the whole nation rather than constituents of a specific State. Due to this unique relationship with the people he believed the presidency was bestowed with broad executive powers. However, these broad powers from the citizens also came with the responsibility to become an agent of reform for the people. “…The President’s duty is to act so that he himself …[can] do efficient work for the people” (Roosevelt, The Presidency,1913). Likewise, the President’s exclusive ability to act quickly made the Presidency ideally suited to protect the interests of every man and woman. Additionally, Roosevelt’s stewardship theory employed a broad interpretation of constitutional restrictions. He insisted, the President was obligated in the execution of his duty “…to do anything that the needs of the nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by laws”(Roosevelt, The Presidency,1913). He argued a broad interpretation was necessary since the strict interpretation of the Constitution had hindered both the State and federal government’s ability to respond to people’s needs in this new era of big business. “The prime need is to change the conditions which enable

Credibility is important for networking with others. It demonstrates one can be trusted and without it many dangers are at stake. In the article “How America Is Losing the Credibility War” Antony J. Blinker offers his own insight on President Trump’s global relations. He reveals that Trump’s super ego and reckless tweeting is diminishing America’s credibility. His intentions of exposing domestic media for providing the public “fake news” can undoubtedly convince the people; causing them to protest. In addition, his careless tweets about countries whom we have growing tensions with, North Korea and Russia, can appear offensive to them ultimately triggering a war. Blinker believes Trump’s disruptive use of social media places the United States

In the world of politics, immigration has been a hot topic. Several cases have arised, detailing attacks, bombings, and other insipid acts of hate. However, should the whole of the population be responsible for the acts of the few? Several people believe that immigration, for one reason or another, should be stopped, our president included. One of Donald Trump’s first executive orders was to cease all immigration into the country for 90 to 120 days- Syrians are banned indefinitely. To add to the already heinous crime, Trump’s policy is to focus on Christian immigrants. This action is not only and odious, disgusting act, but it’s also illegal.

Everyone’s views of the president are different. A portion of people could hate the president, like him, or would not care about him; it all depends on their views they carry towards the president. Which include the way the president chooses to handle, or throw away ideas of the public. In order for the public to prosper, the president must be able to help. By fully understanding their views and opinions to help them prosper, he will allow for the public to continue growing. However, if the president would continue to do the same things, the growth of America’s society could decrease, which cause cataclysmic effects from the lack of effort towards America from the president.

Lastly, the “great difficulties all presidents face” is the role as a leader of their political party seeking the public good (Greenberg 375). The key roles of the president in this position are helping members of their office get appointed into office and make campaign speeches. Sometimes the public reacts negatively to the president's opinions when they play their role to vigorously, seeing it as being unpresidential and they vote towards another’s opinion. For example, Roosevelt campaign for the democratic congressional candidate and the message was not received well from the public and his party won fewer seats. This shows that the president needs help to promote his political party whether it's by going door to door to spread the world

This image is of a protest at Los Angeles International Airport when Trump’s immigration ban first went into order. It depicts a young Muslim girl participating in the protest along with many others. Because the angle of this photo is from below, the girl in the image is given a sense of power. However, with her vision down and off to the side, it almost seems to portray that there is a hidden, greater power over her. Her expression represents the the disappointment and frustration from Trump’s ban felt all throughout the crowd that day. The executive order that Trump passed suspended the entire US refugee admissions system for 120 days, suspended the Syrian refugee program indefinitely, banned entry from seven majority-Muslim countries, temporarily

In “A Rebel, a Warrior and a Race Fiend” (2017), Charles Blow affirms that Donald Trump is not on the side of the country; he is allied with the white supremacists, white nationalists racists, and the hostiles. Blow intensifies his initial claim by referencing the National Anthem and the NFL kneeling controversy, and then stating his opinion on the situation and Trump’s actions toward it. He does this in order to reveal the true nature of what Trump is doing to the country, “With every passing day, Trump diminishes the office of the presidency and elevates a virulent strain of racial animus.” Blow is indubitably addressing the entire public because he opens and closes the article with two very blatantly negative statements against Donald Trump;

Mr. Trump always argues that the outside world is bringing harm to the U.S. and that America should no longer be involved with foreign countries, like Mexico. But what he does not understand is that, by cutting these connections, he is dooming America, both economically and socially. My full argument about this that I and my two classmates wrote in class is: Trump’s misleading, falsely based data, leading to America’s economic failure. This you might disagree with; however, we should not hold hands with someone that will lead us, no ensure

Let’s use Donald Trump as an example, he uses Twitter and Facebook to put fear in people and

"The government should be allowed to monitor on a national level, but only the government should be able to monitor this data. Your use of the internet should be private, but there has to be a way to measure the extent of someone breaking the law. Also, private information should remain private and if you do not want people around you to know, that is okay. There has to be a way to sort out the criminals from the normal person. If someone is harming another through social media or any form of internet communication, and the situation is reported, local law enforcement should be able to investigate in that person’s data. On account of the prompt on the President's tweets, I believe he should be able to say whatever he wants to just like everyone else, but also there shouldn't be any exceptions for him.

Because of the internet and being able to talk to people all over the world simultaneously, they serve as a blocking mechanism for any horrible stuff that comes up. You see people in the streets all the time. Since Trump got elected — I’m not a big fan, but some are — the only defense is to oppose him at every inch. Keep him up to ass in alligators at all times. Which is what’s

In conclusion, Donald Trump is both charismatic and holds himself in high esteem, he is eager to explain how exceptionally well he did in the election and does this in great length in his speeches. He even has a framed map of the 2016 election results displayed in the White House (Lozada, 2017). In his recent speech in Poland, Trump made reference to the ‘West’ ten times. Beinart (2017) argues that in this context the West is not a geographical term, but a racial and religious one. Trump is unlike his predecessors, who acknowledged that democracy and capitalism were not Western, but the universal aspiration of humankind. Previous leaders of the US discussed globalisation as a process where America improved the world. However, Trump describes globalisation as a process by which the world cheats, weakens and threatens America. His words, ‘The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive’ (Trump, 2017), only makes sense if non-white, non-Christians are seen as invaders. Thus, this implies that anyone in America who is non-white and non-Christian is a threat. Trump, by describing that being Western is the essence to the US’s identity, is defining the US to be in opposition to many of its own people.

President Donald Trump is a notorious key player in social media and news stories. During the 2016 Presidential Election, many of Trump’s tweets were deemed inappropriate or outrageous by news outlets and the American public. Now, the tweets being sent from Trump’s account no longer comes off as a shock, rather than as something expected. With tweets ranging from self-adoration, animosity, and false claims, it is not difficult to discover one of these tweets within the 36.1K tweets he has released since joining Twitter in March of 2009. Trump’s egotism, misleading content, and intense narcissism are present in his interviews, online presence, and tweets. One of the misleading claims that he had made in late February was that he decreased the National Debt. Earlier this year Trump insisted that within the first month of his presidency, he had decreased National Debt. However, his claim is misleading and deceitful to the public. By taking credit for the debt without providing empirical supporting data, Trump has committed a false cause fallacy. The false cause fallacy is when an argument is made claiming that sequential events are caused by each other. False cause fallacy uses sequential events as evidence that the first thing caused the second thing.
