Arguments Against Donald Trump

Liberal leaning New York Times (NYT) columnist Charles M. Blow, in his op-ed, "No, Trump, We Can’t Just Get Along", recounts Trumps tirade of controversial, racist and bigoted proclamations which dominated the 2016 presidential campaign season. His column ranked 21 out of 100 of NYT’s most-read articles in 2016 (New York Times). Blow's purpose is to give his mostly liberal audience permission to reject President-elect Trump’s dismissive attitude about his record and additionally, to convey that message of rejection to his colleagues in the media who appear complacent about holding Trump accountable. He adopts an angry chastising tone to establish himself as an authority and to appeal to similar feelings of his readers.

Many players and their coaches have been protesting police brutality by ‘taking-a-knee’ during the Pledge of Allegiance. The media has been sharing and it has now become a bigger deal since the president has addressed it by saying "Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b---h off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired!" This riled up many Trump supports, secially when later on he tweeted that it had nothing to do with race and that it was about respecting the country. This leads many people to believe that the NFL players are just disrespecting their country. The stereotype about African Americans, that they are often disrespectful, is also being used to ‘justify’ what a lot of the media has to say. But, the real reason many NFL players are protesting is because they think that they shouldn't have to stand if they don't have pride for their country, and they have the right to do so, according to their first amendment. They don't lose the right to protest when they go on the field like some of the media thinks so. Many people, often white believe they live in a just- world because they have never had to deal with the racism many African Americans are dealing with so they do not think it is a big deal and that they are protesting to be disrespectful. The illusory correlation can also

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.

The kneeling for the national anthem is a widely controversial topic. It has been widely talked about in sports and politics. The protests sparked up when a former NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, sat down during the national anthem and then began to take a kneel. The meaning of taking a kneel is to protest against racial discrimination, especially with recent events in the hands of law enforcement. It is also known to go against racial and social injustice. However, not being educated on the meaning behind the protest brings up the controversy among the kneeling of the national anthem. Jackie Robinson, who was the first African American in baseball, wrote in his autobiography (I Never Had It Made) explained he simply could not stand and sing the anthem. He also stated he could not salute the flag because he recognizes himself as a black man in a white world. Although it has been around for years, it is becoming a more talked about protest, because of how many people are doing it on live television. It is also being done by credible people who many fans look up to. In my rhetorical analysis I want to evaluate three different bias examples of the national anthem protest. I decided to take a look into the controversy among news articles like CNN, Dailymail, and ProCon.

Racism is a huge issue, which results in police brutality or people of' color being racially profiled. Many well know people have experienced police brutality in their life, of those people were Michael Bennett. On august 26th, Michael Bennett was involved in an incident where police used excessive force after getting a call that there was a live shooter, the police also assumed that Bennett was the shooter. ("New: Police union wants..." 1) That evidence hints that without some sort of evidence that he was the shooter, the police just assumed he was based off the color of his skin and the way he acted. Next, well known people speak out about racism fairly often, but what Trump said in an interview on September 23rd should not have been said. Trump said that if players are kneeling during the national anthem, they should be fired, even though it says nowhere that they are not allowed to kneel during the national anthem. ("That is racism" 2) This implies that trump is in a way a

Moving over to, all things considered on what does the events taken place in Charlottesville , what what has been going on in America have in common is President Donald Trump. “ If these were normals times , even if you believed a press conference to be typical American racial theater, you’d expect the President of the United States to condemn unequivocally the hatred and bigotry, of the white nationalist, gathered in Charlottesville. But these aren’t normal times.” [ Eddie Gluade What White America Must Do Next]. Concisely stated by Eddie Gluade’s What White America Must Do Next, is an article that covers President Trump’s approach on Charlottesville. These are unorthodox times and we have have a President who is also unorthodox in the way he handled the tragic event when he did not acknowledge

According to the information, Arizona has voted Republican for the past 4 years and years past. From the polls taken this year, Trump has more support but has not gained majority. According to the current real politics poll results, the margin of error could go either way for three out of four polls. Out of nine representatives, five are Republican, their two senators are both republican, and their state governor, is republican. In the graph of racial/ethnic breakdown of state population, over 50% of Arizona’s population is white alone. Trump has been offensive to others, so we can conclude that the 44.2% of the population will most likely not vote for Trump. But, this is still leaving a majority of the population who may vote for Trump. For

Steve Chapman, a columnist and editor of the Chicago Tribune, perfectly depicts in his article the ever-growing hostility that America faces, not limiting its tensions to that of which it faces with our foreign adversaries, specifically North Korea, but including that of its internal enemy: the philosophy of racial superiority. Chapman appeals to those who stand against the hatred and prejudice that has come to light on behalf of white nationalists, taking into account the latest incidents of Charlottesville, Virginia. The journalist mentions that, in spite of the recent occurrences that have overtaken Americans in a sudden mental war between differentiating factions, white nationalists face an imminent defeat. Instead of elaborating on how

In the article, "The Flag ls Drenched with our Blood" by Charles M. Blow, he discusses about how NFL players, specifically African-Americans, deserve to protest by kneeling down during the national anthems at football games. Charles M. Blow explains how the history of Atrican-Americans and how because of those incidents, they deserve to protest. Charles M. Blow states, "Indeed, we Americans see the flag itself differently." which supports his reason for African-Americans to stand up, I agree that they should be able to protest because they have that right, however, I feel at this instance they shouldn't protest because of all the inaccurate information that they are too adamant to realize. As stated in the other article, "Hard Data, Hollow

On August 12th and 13th, violence broke out in Charlottesville caused by the expected removal of a statue honoring the Confederacy. On Saturday, August 13th Joel Pollak, an American political commentator, wrote an op-ed piece for Breitbart titled,“Trump was right to condemn violence on ‘Many Sides’ in Charlottesville.” Pollak is blatantly wrong because there is no moral equivalency between Neo-Nazis and those opposing them.

Having Steve Bannon in the National Security Council amongst many other decisions Donald Trump has made during his presidency so far has caused a lot of concerns. There can be arguments from Bannon being a white supremacist to the fact that they turned down somebody with experience with cheaper pay for someone who spent their life talking on a radio show with NO experience for a higher pay.

I used a liberal website known as www.salon.com for an article. As the article headline presents, “Donald Trump has dropped the GOP’s is Mask” written by Alexandria Clinton the and Walkins Ali. They stayed under the Trump Administration the GOP has been unmasked on the racism they convey. They write, “post-civil rights GOP is our largest why identity group maybe we should thank Trump for making it so obvious.” The liberal point of view expressed the evidence on the racism that still lives in the GOP under and with the help of Trump the “curtains” have been withdrawn to expose the racism in that community. Because the GOP is concise of wealthy white Americans and their long history with race issue the Liberals are not surprised they are some hidden racial bias. As they stated, “Donald Trump is the preferred candidate of white supremacists. Online and in other spaces, they have anointed him their champion in the 2016 presidential race.”They are evidence in instances where white supremacist have supported Trump or endorse him. even though he does not acknowledge their endorsement end specifies “The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep,” Trump said in a statement reported then by The New York Times. …” The Liberals have expressed that with Trump in his outrageous statements and brought up confidence within

A presidential race is a hot enough topic to inspire countless debates, but pair this with another divisive figure attacking social norms, a firestorm of hot takes emerges. In the featured cartoon, drawn by Matt Davies, Donald Trump and Colin Kaepernick are featured telling a group of people the same phrase- ‘America is not great,’ –to vastly different responses. Trump has been featured in the news for several months now amidst the 2016 presidential election while Kaepernick has recently put himself in the center of controversy following his decision to sit during the national anthem before a football game. During their respective times in the spotlight, Trump has often made bold claims to the awe of many whereas Kaepernick has backed his decision to sit during the national anthem by stating “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” (via Bleacher Report), but is still the center of mass hatred. In essence, both of these men have stated, in different words, ‘America is not great’, but the American people only seem to agree with one of them. Via his cartoon, Davies makes a bold statement questioning how the American people pick and choose who they support, follow, and look to for advice.

The camera flashes from countless journalist started up like fireworks on the 4th of July, all documenting the moment in which the United States of America became even more of a joke to the rest of mankind. The manic crowd of Trump supporters began cheering wildly, as “The President’s Own” started playing the national anthem. Unsurprisingly, the attending audience was overwhelmingly caucasian, as it you would have to be either insane, inane or a combination of the two in order to be a minority in support of this sworn neo

The camera flashes from countless journalist took off like fireworks on the 4th of July, all documenting the moment in which the United States of America became even more of a joke to the rest of mankind. The manic crowd of Trump supporters began cheering wildly, as “The President’s Own” started playing the national anthem. Unsurprisingly, the attending audience was overwhelmingly caucasian, as you would need to be either insane, inane or a combination of the two in order to be a minority in support of this unfeeling klansman.
