Donald Trump's Role In The Media

Throughout the history of the United States of America there have been many politicians that have run on the campaign trail using their charm, their wit and some funds to help them on their way to win an election, and then there’s Donald Trump. Whatever you say about Donald Trump’s morals, there has been no doubt that his campaign has been a spectacle to watch. To show the effects of his campaign, envision the first presidential candidate that pops into your head. Donald Trump has been on the campaign trail since the very beginning of the G.O.P. nomination, and when people saw him initially they thought that he was a joke (except for me). How could a person who has never held a government office even hope to become president of the United States

Donald Trump is not the only one responsible for what he has created in president elections. “The media made a mistake by covering Trump’s candidacy at the start as some sort of joke or media prank,” notes Danielle S. Allen, a political scientist at Harvard (Kristof, 2016). Donald Trump can’t do it alone in becoming president of American. The people are influencing the politic election. In being a part of the non-serious issues that Donald Trump created made it easy to forget about the real issues our country is currently facing. “The repeated use of references to ‘the Donald’ across all platforms structured the conversation around ironical affection for a celebrity rather than around serious conversation of character and policy” (Kristof,

Even though many may say he cheated, he won fairly. One reason people say Trump won was because his name was first on the ballot. The article “Did Trump win because his name came first in key states?” states, “In the states where Trump won very narrowly, his name was also listed first on the ballot in most of those states”. This rumor has been going on for as long as America was a country. Some think that if a candidate’s name is first on the ballot, they are more likely to win. Also, some say he won because of who he was. Many already knew who he was before he even decided to run. The article, “n the states where Trump won very narrowly, his name was also listed first on the ballot in most of those states” states, “In 2003 Trump became the host of the reality TV show The Apprentice, in which hopefuls competed for a chance to work for his organisation. For a decade millions of viewers were fed the

The media are the founder of Trump presidency. I don't think Trump would have been elected to be our next president, if the media had never gave him the free coverage in the beginning; they planted a seed for Trump to grow in the general election, and I'm sicken by all of the media coverage he has gotten. The media seemed to have normalized Trump, and didn't do enough of good job to stop Trump, from being elected.

Discrimination is alive and well in our society. Immigrants, Islamists, and refugees have been the center of political controversy. In particular, Donald Trump has initiated a vicious assault on these people in order to achieve a political advantage. It is unfortunate that some who are regarded as "well-educated" in our society seem to fail to understand that the actions of radicals cannot act as causation in order to accuse an entire race of terrorism or rape. Concern for safety and scrutinizing an entire population do not go hand-in-hand. It is, in fact, possible to improve border control without making bigoted statements about those who are crossing it. Taking an extremist position to elicit a laugh, to pander to fear, or to make a point

Recently, I found out that many of my friends don't watch the news on the election and will not be voting because they don't know a single thing about what's going on in the election. All they know are from the short clips that they found online. Many people that I encounter doesn't trust the media's coverage on the election because they think it's either too left or too right. Personally, I am a liberal and I don't agree with Donald Trump and believe that he shouldn't be our next president but I don't believe that he should receive as much negative media coverage as he already gets.

If someone pays attention to the mainstream media, they are likely to have heard a lot about both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. And while this could be due to the living in America, this might not be the case.

Most news sources had Clinton ahead of Trump in almost every category. Hillary had 3 TV ads for every Trump ad. While she had more ads, Trumps ads were more strategically placed in places where he was losing to her. Clinton had tens of thousands more volunteers and hundreds more field offices than trump and had so many endorsements from well-known celebrities and

Throughout the history of the American presidential elections there has never been an election that is being dread this much. The choices for the election are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton has spent years in politics, and has held both the position Secretary of State and First Lady. She is well known for the federal investigation into her and the corruption of the Clinton Foundation. Trump on the other hand, is a very successful businessman and is worth billions. He has never been in politics and it shows when he makes rude comments. Recently, he has been accused of rape and sexual harassment.

In candidate's Trumps many many campaign rallies he would often say if he was elected there would be "Jobs Jobs Jobs" and that America would win again. Being a billionaire with billions in the bank one would think he would be disliked maybe even hated by the middle class and lower classes, but I have found that he found he's strongest support in the middle class. Though the campaign many called him a blue-collied billionaire and a champion of the working class, many people would say that he had to be a smart man to make himself billionaire even with the "small" loan of a million dollars. While not relevant to the campaign President Trump's winning of the almost all of the Rustbelt, with the most surprising being President Trump's win in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. And so the bastions of industrial-era Democratic strength among white working-class voters fell to Mr. Trump; so did many of the areas where President Obama had better showings in 2008 and

Donald Trump’s meteoric political rise during the Presidential Election of 2016 put attention on the media and the way they covered the election and will forever change both politics and media going forward. The media was shown to be a bias, ratting chasing, and corrupt extension of the political parties. We will encompass the entire campaign from the June 2015 announcement that he was running, covering the primaries, then to the convention, along the path of the general campaign, and finally in the post-election coverage. We will look at the financials, the main stream medias role, and changes that are necessary going forward.

He used his brand to promote himself into politics. The name Trump alone signified to people a person of wealth,power and success. The legitimacy of these claims was irrelevant to die-hard Trump supporters. Trump’s unpredictability and anti-establishment rallied with people. His political ideas were presented in terms that were not politically correct. He advertised his wealth and glamor while being able to connect with the people using language that including insults, humor directed at his opponents and slogans (Huffington

Throughout the campaign, Trump repeatedly proved that he was an inapt candidate for president. After researching and watching many of his campaign ads, it is obvious that his campaign relied heavily on the downfalls of his opponent. He had little to say for himself and what he did choose to say was often offensive or degrading to specific groups of people.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, the United States of America has an election coming up on the eighth of November. This campaign has gotten ugly. There has been fighting, rioting, accusations of improper conduct, and a whole heap of other things between the two political parties. Some people would argue that our country is divided more now than ever in history. On the Democratic side, you have Senator Hillary Clinton. She has the motivation of becoming America’s first female president. Over on the Republican side, you have Donald Trump, a billionaire, real-estate mogul, businessman. These two candidates have two very different backgrounds. Hillary Clinton has been in the political arena since 1976. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2001 and was appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State in 2009. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has never held any kind of political office. He got into real-estate in 1971 and has since then made the Trump name synonymous with real-estate development. With their backgrounds being as different as they are, their personalities are just as different.

When the White House felt a retraction was not enough because so much harm had already been done, the media got extremely upset with the White House, due to the pressure they were putting on the publication (52-53). Begala agrees with Hewitt that the media has a bias, but argues that it is a liberal bias. He cites the media's obsession with the Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal and how, "Even when Clinton was leaving office, he was hounded and pounded by the press" (199). He argues the news coverage was unfair, brutal and unethical in the way both Bill and Hillary Clinton were treated during the scandal (200). Begala also says Al Gore was treated very poorly by the press during the election, by being misquoted. Gore made major contributions during the early phases of the internet and made a comment on CNN saying he "took the initiative in creating the Internet." Begala argues this was blown out of proportion and more than a thousand articles have been written quoting Gore saying he said he "invented the internet" (202). The people's perception that certain publications are bias can have a negative affect on journalists as a whole. While the public demands that the press question politicians, Robinson says there is public discontent when bad news is reported due to the publics distrust in news and a "kill the messenger syndrome." At times, the public will assume all media is the same and when one publication is guilty of inaccurate or bias
