Donald Trump: Political Analysis

The “disturbances of collective order” (Durkheim 1915, 246) or norms with spikes in unemployment and increased competition in labor market could have resulted in what Durkheim referred to as anomic suicide. People’s lives have been greatly impacted and they are uncertain of the future in America. Trump argues that immigrants pose a competition in labor market and he promised to bring jobs back for American workers or the White working class. It’s harder for them to live with the decline of jobs because in the old economic order, White workers have greater opportunities for growth. When their expectation of themselves in the society is threatened, Trump’s promise

Within History, Rap has been considered the “CNN for black people”; what started as a way to express struggles in the ghettos of New York has transformed into one of the most popular genres of music in America. The popularity of rap has allowed many to have their voices heard, created new fashion trends, and even developed popular modern slang used by people throughout the world. The commercialization of rap has resulted in a significant following of the culture in America but also a large number of people who oppose the music. The culture of rap music has a substantial impact on popular culture in America, and by using an open mind and looking past the violence and language, people can better understand the meaning behind rap and the perception that follows it in America today.

On June 16, 2015 Donald J. Trump announced his candidacy for the president of the United States at Trump Tower in New York with the slogan, “Make America Great Again!” His announcement was taken with mixed reviews, many viewing his candidacy as another celebrity running for publicity without any real standing. He was compared to the likes of: Clint Eastwood, Clay Aiken, and rapper Waka Flocka Flame. What many of these celebrities have in common is their lack of success in the political field. Their run for candidacy was ripe with jokes and an understanding that they had no real chance of success. People knew that as a society celebrities had their place and it was not holding office; especially not the highest office in the nation. Celebrities

One of Rap music's greatest criticisms is that it is sexist in its portrayal of women. Some argue that Hip-hop music teaches young children to look at women as "bitches" and "hoes", as women are often called in various hip-hop songs. It is this negative message that has constantly kept rap music in a national spotlight. Critics view sexism in rap as a symptom of an increasingly crumbling set of social values in the black urban community.

To begin with, within these last few weeks the public has heard Kanye West make some extremely controversial statements, from him praising Donald Trump, to him saying in an interview with TMZ that “400 years of slavery was a choice”. Contrasting kanye’s recent action with Childish Gambino who has recently released a new song and video that can be interpreted as his views on what America truly is. Both men are held in high esteem in both the public eye and to black people living in America. The popular opinion is that Childish Gambino is now taking Kanye’s place in the music industry and being the voice for black people, however Kanye’s place in the industry is secured and can never be taken; not because he is a “genius” or makes “good music”

Kanye West re-appeared on twitter two weeks ago. He shared with followers his journey to happiness, creating art and free thinking. He also announced new music is on the way from himself, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, and Nas. Normal right? Well that excitement was short lived when the iconic rapper tweeted out a series of tweets aligning himself with President donald trump. In several tweets Kanye can be quoted saying "You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is m brother. I love everyone." Like donnie, Kanye's tweets struck a cord with everyone and caused the entire Hip-Hop community to react in disbelief.

Many scholars have criticised hip hop music for its negative contents against women. Many people fear that the portrayal of women is within hip hop music is extremely harmful to society as it promotes a distorted image of women and glamorises violence. George Bush State of Union address questions "why we as a nation embraces a pop culture that glorifies rap and hip hop that teaches men to prey upon women and engage in senseless violence" (Cited in Rose 2008:95). As he was the president of the united states at the time his views on the impact of popular culture are incredibly relevant to society. Even though hip-hop music often portrays women in a negative manner it is by far the only source that discriminates against them. According to Tuchman

With the recent election being highly controversial and contested the United States finds itself with an incredibly volatile and inclement political climate. While the United States continues to face social and political issues rap music and its artist have been a source to document the oppression that is still occurring within the country. Documenting racism and oppression by using politically charged lyrics is a method the rap community is particularly familiar. As time went on rap artists began to become more politically informed and began to shine through their lyrics to become sources to start a national dialogue. Rap artists like Tupac Shakur, Chuck D, Chance the Rapper, and Kendrick Lamar have been fundamental pieces of the

Donald Trump’s only political background consist only of controversy and endorsement. Trump himself has never held any form of political status. Throughout decades of slander and outspoken statements Trump has remained a man of virtually limitless authority. In February of 2015 Trump was awarded The Liberty Award at the Algemeiner Jewish 100 Gala. That is only one of Trump’s many awards and recognitions he’s earned through his career. In the 2011 Trump who is a true Republican slurred Democratic

Daily interactions or interactions that are not from media could be beneficial” (Binder, 1993). Rap music, on the other hand, does not sell as it used to because now individuals look more into their lifestyle; and what the artist portray themselves as. Hip-hop is on such an economic and cultural rise that it invites scrutiny from its critics since its popularity flourished throughout the nineties (Ogbar 1999). Rap in its early years build off the poor ghetto image but their delivery at the time was different. They were looking to build the African American community, not tear it down. “The small body of research on hip-hop focuses more on artists, lyrical content, and the history of hip-hop. Moreover, any social differences (gender, age, race, social class, etc.) in fans that could be correlated with influence are generally overlooked” (Binder,

Donald Trump has always had a good reputation with Hip hop artists prior to his run for president, once Trump announced his run for president everything changed. Rappers used to use Trumps name as a sign of money, you would hear it in your favorite rappers songs, but now rappers have songs just singling out Trump. There is a song with the name of " F**k Donald Trump" by a rapper with the name of YG. But Snoop Dogg is the latest rapper to step into the ring against Trump. Snoop Dogg accused the president of neglecting many communities in america. Snoop Dogg voiced his support for San Francisco 49er's Colin Kaepernick and called on black athletes to form their own football league in the title track in his new upcoming album " Make America Crip Again"

Despite political rap’s largely underground presence, Hip-hop has learned to exist within the mainstream of a culture it actively opposes. While Political artists maintain an image that is true to self or representative of African-American /Black life in American society,

Leading up to the release of the album, Kanye premiered the song “New Slaves” on buildings across the globe. New Slaves set the tone for the album’s assumed political thematic approach, a seemingly popular decision. He outright calls out corporations stating “Fuck you and your corporations y’all can’t control me”, a line he admits may have caused the lack of promotion for “Black Skinhead”, another quasi-politically driven song that was composed to be a radio smash hit. Both of these songs on their own are fantastic. They’re not only well inspired politically driven hip hop songs, they’re arena anthems with ‘Black Skinhead” bordering on punk rock. “Middle america packed

It is clear that Kanye's music has changed, his lyrics have turned in another direction. His first albums would show how he became the person he was at that time, the struggle he suffered. Now his music do not make the same emphasis, it is more obscene in which he raps about drugs and that he compares him self to god. Also in one of his newest music video named Famous, Kanye shows a scene in which political figures as elected president Donald Trump appears naked along with George W. Bush. Up today the equilibrium of Kanye's mind it is unstable due to the actions he has committed this past years (Vevo 2016).
