Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders; all renowned names due to the US presidential race, but by far the most controversial name involved in the race is Donald Trump. This republican candidate has been discussed and debated over due to what many call radical views. Throughout the race, Trump has become famous for his boisterous comments and remains the leading presidential candidate.
The issue with this though, is that the boisterous comments and promises Trump is making are not ones that would provide progression for the United States. In fact, his promises would quite literally bring the opposite of progression. The United States has struggled with racism, sexism, and same sex inequality for centuries, and it has not been until recently …show more content…

In a conversation with John R. O’Donnell in 1991, Trump said “I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it.” If this remark wasn't repulsive enough, Trump furthered his point later in the conversation saying “Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.”

However, the flaw with his argument is that he did not gain his success. Trump was born into money, and as a result was able to start multiple businesses without strategy. Trump announced “It has not been easy for me, it has not been easy for me. And you know I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.”
There are thousands of other companies that have started with no loan at all, especially not one of a million dollars, and have reached great success. On the other hand, there is Donald Trump who took over what was already his father’s successful company and had the money he needed to make the company even more successful, yet it does not even rank with the United States’ top 50 private companies. Not to mention the many companies that have gone bankrupt under Trump’s supervision.
So saying that he is a “successful businessman” does not actually give Trump any support when his company and situation are
