Donald Trump's Influence On American Politics

As with most electoral races, the media takes on the role of portraying images of candidates to the public. The motives behind these conscious, deliberate decisions vary greatly, but the results are always interesting to dissect. Starting with the June 20, 2016 issue of The New Yorker, we see a depiction of Secretary Clinton mid-fight, sitting in the corner of a boxing ring (appropriate following the death of Muhammad Ali), sporting her confident, signature grin despite all the

In response to the widely unexpected and controversial election of Donald Trump the University of Maryland’s Government and Politics department hosted a panel to help staff and students understand how this happened. Additionally the panel hosts each spoke of what will happen to our government in terms of foreign and domestic policy. Each panel host had a different perspective on the matter and it made to be a very interesting discussion filled with a diverse set of opinions on how Donald Trump got elected and what it all means going forward. The speakers for the event were Irwin Morris, David Karol, Antoine Banks, Liliana Mason, Stella Rouse, Vadimir Tismaneanu, and Karol Soltan. Though there were many speakers at the event each person had a brief time to speak on the matter at hand and present their own analysis on the election.

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 presidential election revealed how politically diverse the United States is and it also revealed the inequalities of colored people and the working class. Furthermore, Donald Trump’s victory embodied white male supremacy and the interest of the wealthy. Thus, UCSB students started to correlate Trumps victory with flaws in American democracy. Despite the notion that college students are indifferent to politics, in the contemporary moment UCSB students have a critical view on the state of American democracy in the United States that is mainly shaped by the 2016 Presidential election and Donald Trump’s controversial conservative ideologies.

Reasons why the Role and Influence of the Presidency has Increased in the Political History of the U.S.A

Creating history. Who is remembered? The definition of History is “acts, ideas, or events that will or can shape the course of the future; immediate but significant happenings” . History is created through noteworthy events that change the way people act, think and behave. Politics, medicine and war has greatly impacted the worlds history. Ladies, Gentleman and chairperson, today Donald Trump is creating history, a man who the world believed would not make American presidency but he did. Margert Sanger, a feminist who helped create and fund the first ever contraceptive pill, this was a massive breakthrough for women in the 1900’s. 1933 to 1945 might sound familiar to you, it’s the period that the world saw the most devastating and well known

In the United States of America the president is viewed as the most powerful and influential

For the last 12 months America has been experiencing a liberal/progressive revolution. People all over the country have been uniting behind Bernie Sanders and his cause to “end the corruption in Washington and restore the democratic power to the American people.”

“Manifest Destiny”- a term which was commonly used in 1900s during the presidency of James K. Polk means that America was destine to expand throughout the continent (313). After the Louisiana Purchase, the United States continued to expand its border westward by gaining the territory from Mexico. During this geographic expansion, slavery was one of the most controversial issues in the United States. American, especially Southerners, not only expanded their country geographically but also transplanted their “slavery culture” to every land that they settled in by bringing slave labors to the new land. This expansion has both negative and positive effects on America’s economy and politics.

This article from the NBC Nightly News, regarding the growing concerns and fears from the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) communities, on how the upcoming Presidential election will affect how certain laws of protection and their rights that are already in effect, how those laws may change with the new President Elect Donald Trump, and his already controversial views on whether he is for or against the LGBT community. And as President Trump vows to make a lot of changes in the laws that the previous President Obama set in place during his 8 year term in office, such

The year is 2020, President Trump’s presidency is coming to an end, but it cannot come sooner to the American people. Trumps years in the Oval Office would have been great if not for his sudden decision to initiate the removal of immigrants during his last months as President. Every major city in the United States is swarming with Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents. Immigrants are being taken right out of the workplace, rounded up, handcuffed and sent back to their home country. As the immigrant population disseminates, hundreds of local businesses across the nation go bankrupt. Boarded up store fronts are now the norm. With the dramatic decrease in the immigrant population almost no one is willing to invest in the infrastructure of towns with low socio-economic statuses. Farms are being left no crop pickers, in a few weeks there will be a shortage of produce across the United States. As people begin to ration, the economy continues to plummet. Every day the immigrant population decreases and everyday more businesses close, more food goes bad because of the lack of crop pickers, and more people begin to realize the importance of the immigrant population. This could soon be our reality, if immigration is not dealt with properly and in accordance with current information.

This year the presidential elections will take place at the beginning of November, and there are lots of people wondering how this is going to end. Some candidates for these presidential elections may not have been the best choice for their respective parties, but the one that really shouts, “I should not be here” is Mr. Donald Trump. His personality and actions are not the correct ones for a president because of his temper and comments against other cultures. On the other hand, we have Mrs. Clinton who is a more competent candidate; she has more experience on the field of politics than Mr. Trump who has none at all, which are the reasons why she is a better choice as a candidate and as president of the U.S.

I decided to research the trump administration to the extent of how trumps administration has had a negative effect on society. I am interested in this issue because it affects many people in the world, and with Donald Trump being president of America he has the power to do many things. He has already started building a wall in the U.S and Mexico border, trump has also banned 7 majority Muslim countries with a negative effect on the whole world. My three key questions are, how does this affect other countries? How does this affect U.S? How does this affect the Middle East?

In the beginning America was mothered by England. Writers expressed how they felt about America, who America was, and what it meant. The writers all had different points of view, but many thought America would be or should be on her own. Writers like Thomas Paine, J. Hector St. John De Crévecoeur, and Thomas Jefferson thought America was strong enough to be independent. Between 1765 and 1790, the contradicting ideas of writers surrounding the definition of America built the identity of America through the argument stating that England was no longer America’s mother country.

Donald Trump has not shied away from voicing his opinions on politics. Many of his ideas and actions have led people to wonder if he truly is a conservative or not. Over the years, it seems that Donald Trump’s political ideology has shifted with time. During the late 1990’s, he left behind the Republican Party to join the Reform Party. However, within the next couple of years, Donald Trump has once again shifted his views back to one of a conservative. In addition to jumping back and forth between parties, Trump has also said things that go against both of these parties’ ideologies, but are similar to the ideas of a liberal. These shifts in views have led people to wonder if Donald Trump is even a true conservative. The man claims to be a Republican, but his previous actions do not help support his claims. Is Donald Trump a true conservative?
