Donald Trump : The Belligerent Billionaire

The title is At Republican Debate, Candidates Are Likely to Set Sights on Ted Cruz, written by Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman issued on December 14, 2015. Many controversial topics have defined the previous Republican debates with Donald Trump currently leading in the polls. This article characterizes possible tactics for the final Republican debate. The subject matter of this article deals with potential Republican presidential candidates. Candidates must attack Donald Trump if they want a chance of taking him over in the polls. Some facts are based on state reporting and opinions on debate tactics. The editor does attempt to appeal to his readers' emotions by highlighting voter's concerns and issues including terrorism,

On the other side of the aisle, we had a candidate that everyone either loved him, hated him, or thought “is this a joke?”. The candidate Trump was brash, unfiltered, unrelentless and did something that not many in our history have done. He gathered those with ideological values different from him. He angered or placed hope in the minds of voters that desperately needed and wanted a change.

The second presidential debate demonstrates an indecisive clash between opposite personalities; the rehearsed demeanor of Hillary Clinton juxtaposes the raw audacity of Donald Trump. Despite their dissimilar appearance, the candidates employ like strategies – they deflect accusations and criticize their adversary. Clinton suffers to succeed in this format. Neither knowledge of policy nor experience in office effectively counter accusations against personal character. This observation is nonetheless irreverent. Although Trump dominates the debate format, he alienates the electorate.

Similar to McCain in 2008, Trump lacks “a coherent message, organizational skills, and a crisp high striking strategy” (Heilemann, Halperin 42) yet has had major success in spite of this. His supporters see strength through his words and character, but similar to Obama, “he needs a plan to change the game” (Heilemann, Halperin 118) in order to take down Hillary. Trump has not actually shown the American people a plan to grow the economy, eliminate ISIS, or reform health care, but instead hides behind his slogan that he will “Make America Great Again.” Even though Trump has advanced far without giving citizens concrete steps to stir change within our country, Trump must realize “with no strategy and no message,” there is “no path to victory” (Heilemann, Halperin 226). Statements such as building a wall between America and Mexico, deporting millions of illegal immigrants, and keeping Muslims out of the country, do not serve as sufficient answers to the immigration crisis our country faces. His campaign must “be about a cause greater than self” (Heilemann, Halperin 298), and by developing a clear focus with set goals for the future of our nation and explicit steps to get there, Trump can earn the trust of Americans giving them a slogan to truly believe

Thesis: Donald Trump has been able to run such a successful presidential campaign as a result of the evolution of the GOP and his clever tactics throughout the race, however if he does get the nomination, then the results would be devastating for the republican party because they would be almost guaranteed to lose the general election and it could even result in the downfall of their party, but in the end, the most interesting thing about Donald Trump’s campaign is how it has shown us just how divided this country is.

The five remaining Republican candidates took the stage in Houston to debate whom of the Republican Party should be nominated for president, but only three of them really mattered in the grand scheme of things, and one of them — frontrunner Donald Drumpf — truly dominated the evening. He talked both more towards and about any of his rivals since the Republican Party has finally gotten serious about the idea that unless something drastic changes soon, he is likely to be the GOP nominee. Thursday night was the first debate to feature sustained attacks flying in both directions on Drumpf with little fighting between the non-Drumpf candidates. It was also the first debate in which Marco Rubio seemed to define himself as the anti-Drumpf candidate, hitting him both explicitly and implicitly on both policy and personal matters.

Recent remarks by Donald Trump are pretty dark. It was easy to shrug off when the celebrity first caught a lead in the primary polls. Media contributors casually called it an early election-cycle phenomena, with references to the Godfather of pizza Herman Cain and his brief rise and hard fall. All the usual caveats about primary battles occurring such a long way from Iowa have been made. Republican strategists brush it aside. “Trump is an entertainer, that gave him high name recognition and an instant following. Eventually, party loyalists will, respectfully, choose a more substantive candidate.”

What is more distressing than watching the media become spectators instead of doing their job of asking hard hitting questions or correcting the inaccuracies that form the basis of Mr. Trump’s campaign, is listening to their so-called analysis of why he has become popular and leading the polls among other Republican candidates. The current narrative is that he has

In today’s world, the most controversial politician in this era is the president of the U.S. How did Trump possibly get to the point where he was able to lead the republican party, even with overflowing controversy? Can anybody with immense wealth/fortune and/or credible political connections become the frontrunner of the presidential election? Regardless of one’s answer, after this presidential election the outlook on the set up and landscape of politics will change drastically. The accusations of assault, moral dishonesty, and racism towards Trump has brought more turmoil in the political world, feuds among the people, and rambunctious protests within communities than any other presidential election this century. Even though degrading controversy is associated with Trump, he was still able to use highly effective sarcastic and hyperbolic rhetoric, which translated to entertainment, to capture votes and overcome accusations of assault.

The 2016 primary election has been the most intriguing in modern history, mainly due to one candidate; Donald J. Trump. Before he won the general election, President-elect Donald J. Trump won the Republican primary. Since the day he announced his candidacy by riding down an escalator in Trump Tower, pundits and politicians didn’t seriously believe he had a chance. As the debates were held and the primaries went on, it became apparent that he had an actual chance of winning the nomination. The Republican primary showed that there was an anger toward traditional politicians, an anger which Donald Trump tapped into. The rise of Trump also showed that the old rules of what was acceptable to say do not apply any more. These and other factors lead me to the conclusion that the Republican party lost control of the 2016 primary election and failed to choose its eventual nominee.

Donald Trump, the 69-year-old New York real estate mogul and unrepentant bigot, is still dominating the Republican presidential primary polls. Trump’s sudden ascendance, accelerated by his willingness to insult virtually any ostensible ally within the conservative movement, has left GOP leaders dumbfounded. How did this caricature of a Republican politician, who has never held elected office, and whose personal ideology is remarkably fluid, usurp more experienced, more conservative, and better-funded candidates like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker? Within this vacuum of understanding, an almost-believable conspiracy theory has obtained currency: Donald Trump is in fact a false flag candidate whose actual mission is electing Hillary Clinton as President.

Campaigning is a key component in presidential elections. The most popular form of political persuasion is campaign ads. During the 60 seconds our attention is captured, presidential nominees do their best to convince voters that they can make “The American Dream” a reality in all aspects (providing more jobs, better health care, stronger families and a stronger economy). In Hillary Clinton’s (the democratic presidential nominee) “Family Strong” ad, she provides a chronological timeline of the beginning and growth of her dedication to families and children. On the other hand, Donald Trump (the Republican presidential nominee) takes a different approach. In his latest “Anti Hillary” campaign ad, Trump compiles a 60 second video depicting Clinton’s most shady moments from her email scandals to her seemingly cold view on the Benghazi issue. These presidential campaign ads display rhetorical appeal in every aspect: whether it is connecting with voters on a personal level or attempting to discredit the opposition.

It was February of 2016. I took a Thursday off of school to go see one of the most controversial and decisive people in the world, Donald Trump. Donald Trump, since his announcement of presidency in the summer of 2015, has been the number one news story for the past year. His talking points on contentious positions of immigration and a revision of modern day politics as a whole. I have been supporting him since December of last year, so I went with my father to see him in person. The crowd was filling in, with about 1,500 people going to see what he was going to say. The rally was during the time of the primaries, when he was competing against Little Marco and Lyin’ Ted. The crowd was waiting anxiously to hear Trump speak. Out of nowhere, Chris

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.

Donald Trump's book titled, "Trump: Think Like a Billionaire," Everyone thought the book would be an insightful and easy read. The book was very easy to read, but not too insightful. Trump has divided this book into 100 or so chapters of about two or three pages each which describe a different tip or aspect of a billionaire's life.
