Dating back to the 1600s, ancient Greeks developed something that would change the world forever, democracy. As for the United States of America, we have two main parties, Democratic and Republican. Presidential elections are the start of a country disagreement. For years and years people have disagreed on many topics because of their own opinion about how things should properly be taken care of. As of today, Donald Trump is the U.S. President and has been since the year 2016. During the time of the election, everyone was talking about Trump. He was an unusual man that often spoke without a filter. Many Americans were surprised that a man with no political or military experience would be their president and run this country. As of today, there …show more content…
Donald Trump could not meet the same political expectations that presidents before him had. Americans have elected experienced politicians from the beginning, and they have watched the world progressively get worse every election. The people of the United States were tired of being let down by lying politicians that had promised the moon and stars but couldn’t deliver. In an article written by A.J. Delgado it states, “But the American public has reached a tipping point- we’d rather gouge out our eyes than select another career politician or Washington insider.” This quote is one that I couldn’t agree with more. Americans finally decided for themselves that enough is enough, and we deserve a change in this …show more content…
We have all heard someone say, “Did you see what Trump tweeted?” or “Donald Trump should have his twitter account shut down.” at least once, but why? Donald Trump does not stand before millions of U.S. Citizens and tell them what they may or may not want to hear, he tells them what they need to hear. Trump is not a president that has his speeches written out for him to make him sound professional or make him a liar. He speaks the words that everyone is thinking but are too scared to say. Trump speaks the words that he believes to be true no matter the consequences. During the Declaration speech on June 16, 2015 Trump stated, "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they're telling us what we're getting." In this quote from Trump he clearly tells exactly what he knows and what he thinks. For instance, if he doesn’t know the exact answer or the proper way to say something he will just say it like he wants to. Donald Trump is not a man that puts on, he is a man full of truth and honesty no matter who likes it or who don’t. Considering this is how he is, having no filter is a big reason he became president. More people will believe a man that doesn’t sound like he is an actor reading his script off of a screen. Americans want the truth and nothing but the truth, and that’s what Trump brought
When comparing the job performance and behavioral manners of President Donald Trump to all the men who previously held the office of the President of the United States before him, many factors must be taken into consideration. Rather than being a figure, the public can look to lead our nation instead, he has become a national embarrassment. He has failed to affect any of his campaign promises thus far and is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice and collusion with the Russian government to influence the 2016 Presidential election. When coupled with his atrocious conduct and complete lack of morality earns Donald Trump the title of Worst President Ever.
America is a land of very diverse people from all parts of the world. They all have wide varieties of interests, which are represented by both parties of its political system. The Democrats and Republicans represent two different standpoints; although they concentrate on the same issues both of them have different views on how the issues should be addressed. Two presidential campaigns in which the parties’ candidates differed on the issues are that of 1988 and 1996. Democracy only works when the people who represent the masses differ on the issues, so that to protect our freedom and the parties of our political system are the best representation of this ideology.
Donald Trump should not be the president of the United states as he does not achieve anything being the president. You probably remember his courageous views on immigration and how he is going to build a wall to stop Mexican’s from coming into the country, but has he followed through with his promises. His main promise was to build a wall to prevent illegal immigration, yet he hasn’t to this day. He also promised that he would ban Muslim immigration to prevent terrorist actions, yet when he took the policy to court he failed to pass it and on top of all that he released a budget with a 2 trillion-dollar accounting error. This not the actions of a world leader, this is the actions of someone who has no idea what they are doing and why they are doing it. In his first 100 days, Donald Trump signed 29 laws. These laws proved to be inconsequential, as only 133 pages were written for these laws, whereas Obama passed only 14 laws in the same amount of time, he wrote 1602 pages to pass them. This again proves my point on the lack of
On November 9, it was announced that Donald Trump would be president. This essay isn’t entirely about Donald Trump, but rather about one of the reasons why he was elected: he’s not afraid to “tell it like it is” rather than worry about being politically correct. One of the complaints from the millions of people who voted for Trump is that America is too politically correct, almost to the point that it infringes on free speech. Whether this is true or not is debatable.
One of the scariest things about Trump saying all these things is that there's so many people out there that think these things and when they see someone who's running for president, they feel like their opinion is validated. This causes increased racism and xenophobia amongst the population. This is dangerous because people also feel like they can also now act upon these things; for example someone may feel like it is okay to beat up a muslim because Trump, a presidential candidate, spoke openly of his racist opinion toward
America had just successfully broken away from Britain and was trying to establish itself as a new nation in the world. The Constitution was still in effect and holding the nation together and giving it boundaries to abide by. Many people had polarized views of the Constitution, some with a strict interpretation and others with a loose interpretation of the Constitution. It is these differing views, therefore, which created various political parties throughout the country. During the early 1800’s, there were many presidential elections with all the candidates looking to fill the rolls of their predecessors, George Washington and John Adams. Each candidate looked to leave a positive lasting impact on the growth and development of the United States. There were multiple candidates for each election, each with varying views on government and different issues to address during each election. The
Through the ages, America has been a very influential country therefore a great president is needed in order to continue its legacy. The United States of America has had many great presidents that came and go. From the founding father, George Washington to the wise president, Barack Obama. Many of these presidents had good reasons as to why they want this challenging job, whether it was their true virtue of being a man or having the support of the whole nation. But this year, the nation faces a difficult decision which is whether or not Donald Trump is suitable to be the leader of America. However, my opinion states that he is not suitable for president because of the following reasons, he has a horrible personality, he is bad in business and
Many citizens of the country were outraged and shocked to find that Donald Trump would be our new president. A lot of people started walking down streets, walking out of schools, some even causing a bit of violence. Whether we like it or not Donald will be our new president; many would have different opinions on how he managed to win the election. Three of those important reasons are because there was a low voter turnout, the electoral college, and because of Hillary's email incident.
President George Bush often spoke that one of the main goals of his presidency was, to have a ‘new world order”. He never actually spelled out how this would be done, but the result would be, a lasting world at peace and America taking the lead in all global affairs. One way was to reduce trade barriers, which he thought would promote our nation as the leader in commerce and culture. He wanted to reduce taxes and government regulations between our country, Canada and Mexico. Many people feared this would cost America jobs, with no restrictions more American companies would use cheap foreign labor. Bush was right in that with satellite communication (The Internet) and improved delivery methods the next few decades eliminated global bounties
Presidential elections are an important aspect of U.S. history. This year is probably one of the more interesting ones since Donald Trump, an entertainer, is running for president even though he has no experience with politics. His campaign is widely criticized but he still holds a major lead from 30-40% depending on the state. Donald Trump should not be the President of United States at all, his views are bigoted, sexist and racist. Our president should not feel that he is superior to others and constantly degrade others for their race, religion, gender, etc. Not only are his views disgraceful but he has no past experience with politics,
Politics is something that has been around since the start of times and usually is the talk of the town. During the 2000’s there were three presidential elections the first one took place in 2000. The Republican candidate was George W. Bush and the Democratic candidate was Al Gore. This race was extremely close. The final state, Florida, which was the deciding factor, was so close there was a recount. This became so big it went to the supreme court, Bush vs. Gore. But in the end George W. Bush won with only 5 more electoral votes than Al Gore. “This marked the fourth election in U.S. history in which the eventual winner failed to win at least a plurality of the popular vote (after the elections of 1824, 1876, and
American politics has evolved significantly over the years. The election this year involves a lot of controversies. Donald Trump has come out as a controversial candidate. The 2016 election involves competition between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Apart from the federal government of the United States of America, each state has its own form of government that runs the affairs of the state independently.
Ever since the early beginning of America standing as its own individual free country, we annually elect a new leader to run our country for a 4-year term. Every new time to elect a new president, Americans are pressured to go out and vote for their leader that they want to run the country. Somewhere through the many years and elections, people have begun to outcry that the elections are not fair or biased and has raised the question if the way elections are run, is good for the country. The United States election process is good as it fairly elects a new president every four years, it provokes people into exercising their basic right to vote, and it helps always elect a new candidate over having a single leader for life.
Will Donald Trump fulfill America’s request and actually “make America great again”? When friends of mine who are Trump supporters inform me that they support him, I don’t understand the reasons why they picture him as our future president of the united states. Donald Trump has never been an elected official. He has never been elected into an office of any kind. He’s never had to broker political compromise or gave any political speeches prior to him running for president. With no experience in politics at all, why would people think he’d make a good president? Sure, Donald Trump is a barefaced self-promoter and experienced businessman. But people don’t realize all of the mistakes he has made as a businessman. Washington, D.C., is not a type of Wall Street or anything for him to lose money or make some reckless decisions that would put our country into a deeper hole that we are already into, and also getting multiple things done within the nation’s capital takes more than a huge personality and a strong will. If Donald Trump is elected to be our president, he’ll have to quickly learn how to deal with his Democratic associates in the House of Representatives and Senate. He’ll also have to get used to the pace of government because there are moments when things can accelerate pretty quickly and also where things can move extremely slow at times. He’ll also have to get used to giving speeches on topics he may not be interested in, especially when it comes to conversations
The election process in the United States is a valuable process to the election of the proper officials to satisfy the people. The people run the country which is why we live in freedom because we control what happens with major decisions by choosing whom we want to decide these decisions. The whole country goes to vote on a certain day and by the end of that day we will vote to select who will run the country, state, county, or city political positions. The most complex decision and one with the biggest impact are selecting who the President of the United States shall be. We examine what their views are and who would do a better job. Then vote in our respected states with a certain number of electoral votes
