The day after the final Republican debate before Super Tuesday, presidential frontrunner Donald Trump unveiled the endorsement of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio is ramping up his attacks on Trump, labeling the billionaire businessman a "con artist." Voters in 12 states head to the polls on Tuesday, and half the delegates needed for the GOP nomination are up for grabs. Is Trump unstoppable as he marches to his party's nomination? Plus, President Obama finds himself in a high-stakes battle with Senate Republican leaders who refuse to consider anyone to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat or address the president's plan to close the Guantanamo Bay military prison.

In the history of The United States of America there have been 44 presidencies. The current election is showing many promising candidates and of them two have made a rather large name for themselves, Donald Trump for the Republican Party and Hilary Clinton for the Democratic Party. When discussing these candidates, although both have their respective positives and negatives, I believe Donald Trump to be the better candidate for president.
In response to the widely unexpected and controversial election of Donald Trump the University of Maryland’s Government and Politics department hosted a panel to help staff and students understand how this happened. Additionally the panel hosts each spoke of what will happen to our government in terms of foreign and domestic policy. Each panel host had a different perspective on the matter and it made to be a very interesting discussion filled with a diverse set of opinions on how Donald Trump got elected and what it all means going forward. The speakers for the event were Irwin Morris, David Karol, Antoine Banks, Liliana Mason, Stella Rouse, Vadimir Tismaneanu, and Karol Soltan. Though there were many speakers at the event each person had a brief time to speak on the matter at hand and present their own analysis on the election.
Over the years since The Constitution was written The President’s powers have grew to the point where the other branches have lost their effectivity. As the world around us changes so should the Constitution as it has become outdated and indirectly allowed the president to have more power than was it expected. The President’s job is to defend the citizens of the United States against being overpowered by the Judicial Branch and Legislative branches but what are we supposed to do when the President themself has gain enough power to where the legislative branch and Judicial either half to bend to them or will agree with them to gain more power. The President's power has grown as military advances, as the have found new ways to work the Legislative
President Donald Trump announced an extremely important policy that he wanted to an enact… through the popular social media site called Twitter. A summarization of what his tweet means is as follows; Transgender individuals are a disruption to the victory of the military. This message provoked outrage and, consequently, little approval nationwide. In order to formulate his message, President Donald Trump used the tool of rhetorical appeals. As stated by Doug Downs, Aristotle observed that people usually made three kinds of appeals: to logic, to emotion, and to a rhetor’s credibility (Downs 469). Emotional appeals, also called pathos, toy with a reader’s feelings, through the use of manipulative claims, in order to convince the reader of something
I found that a lot of what Donald Trump said and did in the first presidential debate was very interesting. The things that I found most influential and interesting was his hand gestures, his word choice and what he said. Donald Trump displays himself as a strong, fearless leader with how he looks, how he acts and what he says. Donald Trump started off as a businessman and slowly grew his company. I believe that he will be a successful leader because he created a multimillion dollar company from very little. If he could get that rich, who knows what he could do to help Americans.
Downgrading. That is this election in a nutshell. I have not felt more annoyed with politics and media outlets than ever before, since Donald Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015 ,with those empty four words "Make America Great Again" , we learned that Trump is nothing, but a whining child that erupts on any ounce of criticism from either side. Why did he gain the support of voters with such minuet substance, like building a wall or banning all Muslims? I believe voters fell into the same trap as Bernie supporters , by appealing to people with on the spot ideas without any real consideration. The validity of free college is equivalent to building a wall paid for by Mexico, both are incompatible in the real world.

The Trump Administration has so far been unsuccessful in its efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). From this semester’s learnings, the aspects that I believe should be repealed are the employer mandate and Medicaid expansion. Conversely, the aspects that I believe should be kept intact are pre-existing conditions, the essential benefits, and having young adults until the age of 26 on their parents’ insurance.
Trump administration is becoming more dominant than others major corporation. However, I believe that the U.S citizens do not have a word of their own opinion. In order to have a voice or an opinion, its must require being very wealthy or own a major corporation. No doubt President Donald Trump is building an Autocracy government for an example in the article "Washington issued a temporary restraining order freezing enforcement of Trump’s immigrant and refugee ban"(1) this shows the example of what kind of power the president have. According to the constitution, Donald Trump is violating the rights of Muslims because of their religion, President Trump has a sensation that all Muslims are bad.

It's common knowledge that Donald Trump is controversial. He often gets attention for saying outrageous things. His latest comments about immigrants seem to have pushed the envelope too far. NBC has cut ties with him. His comments centered on Mexican immigrants. He referred to them as mainly drug dealers, and rapists. While going on to say that some were probably good people, but most were not. This caused a huge backlash against him.
The year is 2020, President Trump’s presidency is coming to an end, but it cannot come sooner to the American people. Trumps years in the Oval Office would have been great if not for his sudden decision to initiate the removal of immigrants during his last months as President. Every major city in the United States is swarming with Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents. Immigrants are being taken right out of the workplace, rounded up, handcuffed and sent back to their home country. As the immigrant population disseminates, hundreds of local businesses across the nation go bankrupt. Boarded up store fronts are now the norm. With the dramatic decrease in the immigrant population almost no one is willing to invest in the infrastructure of towns with low socio-economic statuses. Farms are being left no crop pickers, in a few weeks there will be a shortage of produce across the United States. As people begin to ration, the economy continues to plummet. Every day the immigrant population decreases and everyday more businesses close, more food goes bad because of the lack of crop pickers, and more people begin to realize the importance of the immigrant population. This could soon be our reality, if immigration is not dealt with properly and in accordance with current information.
This year the presidential elections will take place at the beginning of November, and there are lots of people wondering how this is going to end. Some candidates for these presidential elections may not have been the best choice for their respective parties, but the one that really shouts, “I should not be here” is Mr. Donald Trump. His personality and actions are not the correct ones for a president because of his temper and comments against other cultures. On the other hand, we have Mrs. Clinton who is a more competent candidate; she has more experience on the field of politics than Mr. Trump who has none at all, which are the reasons why she is a better choice as a candidate and as president of the U.S.
My grandfather has always said if the people do not vote than it is unacceptable for them to complain about our government. Growing up with the belief of voting makes me willingly involved in politics and eager to fulfill my responsibility as an American citizen. However, my grandfather did not pass on any type of advice when coming to an election with two repulsive candidates. Our country is stuck between two unpleasant options and the only thing we can do is pick the less of the two evils.
