Barack Trump 's Presidential Election Essay

The election of Donald Trump has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry in America. White nationalists, Vladimir Putin and ISIS are celebrating Donald Trump’s victory, while innocent, law-abiding Americans are wracked with fear – especially African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Muslim Americans, LBGT Americans and Asian Americans. Watching white nationalists celebrate while innocent Americans cry tears of fear does not feel like

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.

Donald J. Trump will be the next president of the United States. Continuously throughout the election process, pundits and commoners alike dismissed even the slightest possibility of a Trump victory for a host of reasons. The most glaring of which was that he had no political experience, followed closely by the fact that he consistently spewed hateful rhetoric directed at nearly every demographic imaginable, save for white men. Nevertheless, as the election drew closer, the number of his supporters grew and became increasingly loyal. Indeed, his faction was so loyal that he even boasted, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn 't lose voters" (Diamond). It seemed as if no matter how many sexist, racist, xenophobic, etcetera, remarks he made, that his supporters weren 't merely indifferent; they were rejoicing at his "honesty." Furthermore, many of Trump 's Draconian policies, although hard to pin down, given that he was always wavering, were often at the expense of women, Muslims, and other minorities (Timm). Meanwhile, those opposed to Trump, regardless of who they endorsed, were astounded as to how, in such a diverse country, a man who disrespected so many people could garner so much support. From another perspective, many were bewildered that there were so many Americans who somehow still believed that not every human deserves equal rights. Rather than articulate their viewpoints eloquently, many Trump supporters standoffishly claimed

Donald Trump’s victory, in the 2016 presidential election, represented one of the most unexpected political revolutions in American history where the voters went against both the Democratic and Republican Party establishments to elect an iconoclast and outsider, who was demonized as nothing more than an unhinged bigot by the left leaning media, to the most powerful office in the land. Moreover, Donald Trump was able to achieve this by tearing down Hillary Clinton’s democratic fire wall in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Throughout his campaign Donald Trump focused his message primarily on illegal immigration, globalization, and ineffective trade policies. He constantly assailed the Democratic and Republican leadership for their positions on these issues, and he provided a radical alternative hard line stance centered on economic protectionism, nativism, and American nationalism.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump will not take our country to the next level, rather rescind our great nation. His beliefs will only further destroy our already broken homeland. Our nation needs a leader who will fight for equality rather than social injustice throughout our society. We can expect several hardships whether our president be either Democrat or Republican. Although we should understand and accept that Trump’s abusive and abrasive behavior during his 2016 presidential campaign proves that he will not live up to his slogan of “Make America Great Again.” United we stand, divided we

Incumbent politicians spend their time in office voting on legislation to benefit their constituents, crafting legislation to fit party principles, building a reputation for reelection, and crafting a legacy that will ensure them a spot in history. President Obama’s choice to act unilaterally in signing the Paris Agreement solidifies his legacy by finally putting into effect an international agreement that has been a work-in-progress for two decades. The Republican-ruled Congress has been opposing what they claim to be a “war on coal” since President Obama made climate change a focus of his second term. Obama’s bypass of Congressional approval for the Paris Agreement, an agreement many see as a treaty, will strain Congressional/Executive relations for terms to come by encouraging members of Congress to be cautious of unilateral actions while encouraging the President to take advantage of them.

The Presidential campaign is a very major topic of discussion. There are a lot of issues and conversations that come with these campaigns. While there are many candidates running, at the end of the day only one president is chosen. There are many pressing problems of the day in terms of the presidential campaign. This campaign in particular comes with a lot of responsibilities and these candidates need to prove that they are capable of attacking any issue that comes their way. Politically, economically, and even socially. The president is chosen by the citizens of America and they consider all the factors possible before voting because whoever the president is, will be having a say as to how the United States will function.

As of November 8th, Donald Trump rose through the polls and disrupted American politics. Defying all statistical analysis and thorough modeling, Americans remains traumatized as the country is still adjusting to our new president-elect. America’s future comes to millions of minds as, to whether the Trump administration will successfully carry out the role of Commander-In-Chief. Trumps campaign trail to the White House wasn’t all smooth sailing, His campaign faced with many scandals, bigotry, and hatred towards a diversified America. Being a candidate with no prior political or military experience, Donald J. Trump used his shrewdness, business skills, and demeanor to plow his way through the election. His rival, Hillary R. Clinton, representing the Democratic party, lost to President-elect Trump. Her campaign advocated for unity, women’s rights, and goal to live up to Obama’s presidential legacy. One of the distinct idiosyncratic agendas America has seen, both presidential candidates ultimately represented opposite poles of the political spectrum in American politics. Throughout his campaign, he advocated for a complete shutdown of the US Border for Muslim migrants entering the United States (Taylor, 2015). Security concerns arises to Trump’s proposal as whether this is constitutional and ethical. There have been many reports saying that Trump’s plan may work, with half the voters backing his statement. Yet, in terms of international relations, America’s relations with the

In 2016, the end of the Obama administration but the beginning of someone else’s, who will it be? In the 2016 presidential race there are seven candidates, five republicans and two democrats but only two will win their respective party nomination. The Republican candidates are Donald Trump, an entrepreneur, Ted Cruz, a United States Senator of Texas, Marco Rubio, a U.S. Senator of Florida, John Kasich, Governor of Ohio, and Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon. On the Democrat side the running candidates are former First Lady, Secretary of State, and Senator of New York, Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, former U.S. Representative and sitting U.S. Senator of Vermont. As of March 1, 2016, only three of the republican candidates have a fighting chance of winning the party nominee, Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.

Turbulent times have engulfed the United States. Violent extremism, a stagnating economy, racial tension, and dramatic social change have left Americans worried about the country’s future. Candidates from both major political parties pander to those concerns in hopes of ascending to the presidency. None have capitalized on those anxieties more than Donald Trump. His promise to restore the countries “greatness” is based on his ability to rid the country of its “Alien” problems. Hearkening to a darker time, Trump has staked his presidential campaign on placing blame for America’s troubles at the feet of non-Americans, specifically non-white Americans. Reminiscent of debate surrounding passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Trump’s subtle use of racism to galvanize support has threatened to set America back one hundred twenty-five years and tear the country apart.

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.

On the fifth of September President Donald Trump announced that he is planning to remove the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival also known as the DACA program. This would affect hundreds of thousands of people. Around 800,000 young unauthorized immigrants are protected by DACA right now. If this program is removed then anyone under its protection will lose work permits and protection.DACA was put into action in 2012 for children who have grown up in the U.S. but their parents brought them illegally.When border patrol became stricter and it was more dangerous to cross back and forth more families just settled in the U.S. illegally. Also, U.S. law makes it

Having a strong belief about something is very important rather than following someone else’s. The proverb written by the chinese “A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion” which can be interpreted today to not follow someone else’s belief but to follow your own beliefs. This theme of the proverb can help people today understand that they can’t just roll with the public opinion but, they have to figure things out for themselves. This proverb can be applied to many lives and events that happen around the world such as Martin Luther King Jr., The Civil Rights Movement, Horton Hears a Who!, and Donald Trump.

After a gruelling long primary for both major parties, the Republican and Democratic Parties, Hillary Clinton emerged as the favorite-to-win the 2016 election, and several magazines stating before Election Day that Clinton had already won. On November 8th, Newsweek released “125,000 copies” of magazines with the title of “Madam President: Hillary Clinton’s historic journey to the White House” (Greenslade). During the Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had already decided on Tim Kaine to be her Vice-President, and decided whom to pick for her Cabinet. Additionally, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and a dozen of other newspapers, and endorsed by hundreds of politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and activists, thus, a great sum of people had confidence that she would win the 2016 Presidential Election (Berke, Harrington). The day before Election Day, pollsters from various organizations, such as New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, and the Huffington Post, predicted Hillary Clinton would win the Presidency of the United States by overwhelming margins, such as 85%, 71%, and 98% respectively. (Katz).

As an international student, this is my first time witnessing the process of the presidential election here in the United States. Based on how people behave and converse, I have realized that it was crucial to vote in the 2016 presidential election. This year, America had two of the most controversial candidates competing for the presidency. Donald Trump ran under the Republican Party while Hillary Clinton ran under the Democratic Party. Because most people had strong feelings toward each candidate, there had been a lot of pressure to vote. As a Xavier University student, I witnessed this pressure as I saw people meeting to discuss the importance of voting, politically affiliated clubs holding forums to discuss the best strategies to influence voters, and the Student Government Association providing free shuttle rides that took students to the voting stations. This is why claims about the disengagement of young people baffle me. Many people, especially the older generation, argue that Millennials are disengaged in political activity and voting (Dalton 54). This claim is false because Millennials engage in politics through taking part in campaigns, volunteering, and are well informed on political issues. On the other hand, Millennials’ voter turnout is low because even though they try to be involved in politics, politicians do not engage them; this means that politicians are not interested in Millennials.
