Donald Trump's Arguments In The 2016 Presidential Elections

Benito Mussolini once started “Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy.” In today’s society, fallacies are a part of everyday thinking and speaking. People use them in speeches, debates, news, etc. A fallacy is the use of faulty reasoning to construct a better argument. Making a point to establish embellishment in a conversation.

Donald Trump’s signature topic during his presidential campaign has been illegal immigration. He has generated headlines and controversial remarks during his plans for change. In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Donald Trump claimed Mexico was sending all their rapist and violent criminals into the U.S. (Gabbatt, 2015). He also called for the deportation of an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Did you ever feel like you didn’t fit in and you weren’t accepted? Well, I don’t think it’s much of a problem for the outsiders in this upcoming presidential election. The presidential candidates, Donald J. Trump and Bernie Sanders, are known as the “outsiders” of the election but, are gaining so much support and acceptance. Sanders is a highly Liberal candidate who wishes for many free social systems for the United states while Trump is a conservative business man who wishes to “Make America Great Again” (“About Donald…”). The people that are voting for Trump are not going to back down any time soon or change their minds but, when it comes down to a general election, the majority of the United States population seems to side with Bernie Sanders.

After a long history of toying with the idea of running for election, Donald Trump’s announcement speech this June was enough to get the nation talking. Not only because he was finally making good on a decade’s worth of promises, but also because his offensive declarations were unprecedented in the world of ‘P.C.’ American politicians. Trump’s claims of Mexican rapists, drug lords, and criminal cartels flooding over our borders seemed completely outrageous coming from a man running for President. Accordingly so, it wasn’t long before the Trump campaign

Donald Trump, the recently elected 45th president of the United States, gave two different answers when he was asked for his thoughts on immigration and the road to citizenship. While being interviewed in June of 2012 by CNBC, In response to the tough immigration law passed by the state of Arizona a day before, Trump said that he understood the undocumented immigrants and how hard they have worked to become exemplary people and that he does not believe that they should be sent out of the country. However, in June of 2015 when Trump initiated his presidential campaign by responding quite the opposite by stating that Mexico does not sent their best people, instead they sent their rapists and criminals, he also said that all undocumented immigrants on the road to citizenship would have

I’m writing to you today to express my concerns regarding immigration reform. Recently, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made insulting remarks regarding Mexican immigrants stating “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” When he speaks about Mexicans he is referring to the worst stereotypes of Mexicans. Although he is correct in saying that there are good people, according to a Washington post article, “a range of studies show there is no evidence immigrants

In the March 2016 Washington Post, “The GOP - and its big funders - scramble to insulate Congress from Trump,” authors Matea Gold and Paul Kane explains the impact Trump has caused in the congressional race.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” These are the words of Donald Trump, now the presumptive republican nominee who represents every republican in the United States; that’s 23% of all voters or about 55 million registered republicans in the nation (Pew Research Center). Recently, Trump has stolen the spotlight with his flamboyant nature as he expresses his narrow minded views without consideration of the opinions of others. However what makes him stand out of the crowd are his views that reflect strong racism. Trump continues to express his racist remarks on how Mexicans and Muslims should be deported

The column I choose was, “Trump’s inner circle knows he has lost” by Jennifer Rubin. The argument presented in the column is that everyone that supports Donald Trump, or has supported him in the past, knows he is going to lose the election. I completely agree with Rubin but her evidence simply does not make sense to me. She writes, “Donald Trump Jr. is already making excuses,” and does not present a single piece of evidence to prove it. She also writes, “Running for president, the Trump scion proclaimed, is a ‘step down’ for his father,” and doesn't give a name to the person saying this, let alone, provide the quote in its entirety. The entire column is unclear and bounces from example to example without much elaboration. This column is part

Donald Trump is a business man with a massive ego. He blurts out unsupported statements without prior research. Due to this gargantuan mishap that he commits every time he talks, he provides numerous falsified data to the naïve public. Donald Trump has expressed his feelings for Mexican immigrants already, however the data he provides are so far off target that he is just an extremely rich child with a colossal ego problem. Trump has provided, numerous times, false information in order to boost his political status. He has said, “A lot of people up there can’t get jobs. They can’t get jobs, because there are no jobs.” However, This is totally false. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “the number of job openings rose to 5.4 million

The United States, commonly known as the boiling pot of the world, a place that values and accepts people from all over the world, has been in the headlines regarding their immigration policies. President Donald Trump has been scrutinized for his comments regarding Mexican’s coming into this country and what they represent. As people looked over the President’s twitter account, they uncovered old tweets that read, “The Mexican legal system is corrupt, as is much of Mexico. Pay me the money that is owed now - and stop sending criminals over our border.” Even throughout his campaign, the idea of keeping people from Mexico out of the country was a very prominent idea. Along with Trump’s idea as how Mexican’s bring nothing positive, Breibart News

The excerpt from Language in Thought and Action, by S.I. Hayakawa, makes the claim that the primary reason that humans use language is because of its ability to manipulate the actions of other humans and therefore the future. The passage also suggests that the language must adapt to the expectations of its audience in order for it to manipulate successfully.

Imagine that a person had a life threatening illness and they needed to seek professional medical treatment. Would they want a doctor who passed their board certification, or a doctor who did not? I think it would be safe to say that a majority of people would pick the board certified doctor as a result of their understanding and expertise in their respected areas of practice. Just as you expect your doctor to be fit to treat your ailments, you expect your government officials to be fit to run our nation. The cabinet appointments of Jeff Sessions, Betsy Devos, and Andy Puzder prove the assertion that Donald Trump has appointed cabinet members that lack understanding and empathy for the people they aim to serve

From the very beginning of his campaign trail, Donald Trump piqued America’s interest with his blunt and oftentimes shocking statements. With his candidacy came exclamations of making America great, building walls, deporting illegal immigrants, and keeping jobs in the United States. A Google search
