Donald Trump Controversies

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.

If a person was trying to positively portray themselves, you would expect that they would try to convey themselves in a professional manner and use good communication skills. Unfortunately, the communication that came across in the debate between Senator Hillary Clinton and Mr. Donald Trump did not always convey professionalism. There were a few points in the speech where both candidates respected the other, but the majority of the debate consisted of interruptions, rude remarks to and about each other, and the used self-serving bias to make the other person sound bad. The most prominent good communication principals and bad communication aspects that I saw during the debate were that the candidates recognized when the other person was right

Every four to eight years Americans go through the long presidential elections process. With every presidential election comes new stories, secrets, and learning more about presidential candidates personal live than most Americans want to know. Jennifer Wiener wrote an article in the New York times called, ‘The Love Story Primary,’ saying that America’s should know everything about candidates’ personal lives. Candidates have made their personal lives America’s business. The politicians have used their spouses and children, incorporated them as part of the story they sell to American’s by putting them in their ads and brought them on debate stages. But Americans do not need to learn everything about presidential candidates and their personal lives.

The Republican Presidential front-runner Donald Trump continues to rise in the polls even after a widely held opinion that he lost the debate to a much more eloquent and prepared Carly Fiorina. Fiorina in response to her strong performance has seen a modest jump in the polls; however, Trump supports continue to see high numbers in the polls. His bombastic personality and candidacy have received cheers from liberals and confusion by establishment conservatives who normally would treat candidates like Trump as only the popular dish of the day. Establishment conservatives are praying that voters eventually see the Trump dish is undercooked, and that it would ultimately leave them at the mercy of the porcelain throne the next four years. The main

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.

While it is too early to accurately judge the presidency of Bill Clinton, most would agree that he was successful in office. He was the first democrat to successfully be reelected since Franklin Roosevelt. Yet, when a sufficient amount of time has passed and historians attempt to categorize and analyze Bill Clinton’s presidency, his legacy will ultimately be tied to scandal. The numerous scandals that Clinton faced – and survived –were an important aspect of the Clinton presidency. On one hand, they showed the well-documented weakness of Clinton’s personal character – his infidelities, his evasiveness, and his lack of integrity. Yet, Clinton’s ability to survive these scandals are a true testament how politically cunning and brilliant the man was.

This year's election is a prime example of how slandering can effect a candidate. In politics the term “slandering” refers to “making false and damaging statements about someone.” However, slandering has been around since the earliest elections, the slander that was used during this particular election was some of the most vicious and personal; ranging from calling a candidate the devil, or accusing them of being a criminal or a rapist. Historically, slandering has played a major role in Presidential

In 1800, New York politician and Democratic-Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Aaron Burr was perceived by many, including Federalist leader Alexander Hamilton, as a danger to the nation. Hamilton viewed Burr as a threat to the new democracy because “Mr. Burr loves nothing but himself; thinks of nothing but his own aggrandizement; and will be content with nothing short of permanent power.” (Hamilton 1800) Today, the Republican candidate for President (now President), New Yorker “billionaire” Donald Trump is considered by many including members of his own party to be both unqualified and dangerous. Republican presidential candidates have called him a con man, a “serial philanderer”; a pathological liar, a misogynist, an “unstable narcissist”,

The 2016 presidential elections have proved to be one of the most controversial elections in over thirty years. In less than a month, Americans and U.S. citizens will gather to vote for their next President who will serve them for the next four years. Nevertheless, what make this election so contentious are the candidates who have both had their fair share of flaws. Donald J. Trump, an extremely successful businessman, television host and now the official Republican nominee, has in the past made lewd remarks about women, races, religions, countries, etc. Hillary D. Clinton, former Secretary of State and United States Senator of New York from 2001 to 2009, and the official Democratic nominee, has proven to deceive the American public by denying

On January twentieth, Donald Trump became the forty fifth president of the United States. Through his presidential campaign, he secured the republican seat by beating seventeen other candidates. Although Trump never held a governmental office before and only had executive experience through his business organizations, he outperformed Hillary Clinton, who was a former secretary of state. Throughout his campaign, Trump stated numerous vulgar comments towards his fellow Republicans and Democrats, Muslims, Mexicans, and several others. With the aid of sexism and male privilege, Donald’s Trump presidential campaign didn’t implode despite running against a well-qualified opponent, and stating many

Donald Trump might be one of the most controversial people in a long time. It's almost like wherever he goes controversy follows him around. And to make things more interesting he is expected to win as most of the polls showing that(1). The controversy that follows the future president is not limited to a single topic, it varies from religion to racism to sexism etc. However even after all this Donald Trump is having one of the most impressive and entertaining presidential campaigns of all time. This is not a stroke of luck, but instead it is an extremely well thought plan. And a president who can become by doing things that Donald Trump has done and said like “I will build a great wall – and

Hillary Clinton was held to outlandishly high expectation. This can be more clearly illustrated now, since a bigoted, racist, sexual predator, was able to win the presidency; over a woman who had so much ambition that much of the country viewed her as a threat. Arguments against Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness and fitness for leadership replaced a full treatment of her qualifications. That ought to constrain us to recognize that men can create so much conflict, yet still hold status, not women, though. Hillary Clinton was almost immediately labeled as unlikable and unpopular. Her voice and looks were brutally investigated and scrutinized. Injurious names were directed at her by her political rival and a scope of observers in a way that was indistinct from sexual

In his New York Times column “Trumpism After Trump” (11 October, 2016), Roger Cohen argues that Donald Trump - “ [a] liar, [a] cheat, [a] bully, and [a] sexist” - is the least appropriate candidate for the presidency of the US since he uses people's “rage” and “frustrations” to win the presidential campaign.

As a business mogul, television personality, bestselling author, and the current presidential nominee of the Republican Party, Donald Trump is constantly working to improve America and is the most influential American in the last 60 years. Since Mr. Trump has started running in the 2016 Presidential Race, his platform has shown how he plans to “make America great again” through his opinions on women, religion, torture, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) rights. During his candidacy, Trump has expressed that for certain jobs women “wouldn’t have [the] job if [they] weren’t beautiful,” that when the military “put[s] men and women together” sexual assault should be expected, and that women are “dependent on their sex appeal”.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, the United States of America has an election coming up on the eighth of November. This campaign has gotten ugly. There has been fighting, rioting, accusations of improper conduct, and a whole heap of other things between the two political parties. Some people would argue that our country is divided more now than ever in history. On the Democratic side, you have Senator Hillary Clinton. She has the motivation of becoming America’s first female president. Over on the Republican side, you have Donald Trump, a billionaire, real-estate mogul, businessman. These two candidates have two very different backgrounds. Hillary Clinton has been in the political arena since 1976. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2001 and was appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State in 2009. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has never held any kind of political office. He got into real-estate in 1971 and has since then made the Trump name synonymous with real-estate development. With their backgrounds being as different as they are, their personalities are just as different.
