How Trump 's Newest Cabinet Members Could Be The Horsemen Of A Facist America

This precedent had great impact in the conduct of the Presidency because it ensured the President would be well-informed on matters which may have been alien to him but were very common among his Cabinet members. The President’s lack of experience was compensated for by having members with past experience in certain affairs updated with the latest in their department. This precedent set by Washington disregarded the President’s own shortcomings to provide the most effective approach when dealing with matters abroad or

Abstract: This paper will speak to the duties of the cabinet that surrounds the President. In the text I will identify each cabinet position with a brief description of their role and importance to the president. The paper will prove that the president him/herself cannot do this job alone, an example from the Bush administration will also be included following the duties portion of the paper. All in all, the cabinet will be explored with their operational functions in the United States government.

President-elect Trump's cabinet nominations and White House staff choices signal dark times ahead; therefore, it is important to shed light on some of the associated implications. Here

It has been more than a few months since Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away and the president needed to replace him. In March of 2016, President Obama nominated Merrick Garland and since then Garland has been visiting with senators at Capitol Hill, where he has been submitting the questionnaires and customary disclosure, and preparing for a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee (Ulrich). The Senate Judiciary Committee generally examines nominees for the position of the Supreme Court Justice.

Trump acts as a religious figure where he dictates the morality of the collective. The collective has the power to impose moral expectations on the individual that explains their actions. Many people identify with the Republican party where their views are dominated by the collective in which they identify with and thus, support their collective leader. Durkheim defines religion as a system of beliefs and practices that unite a community through “collective effervescence” that forms “harmony and unison of movement[s]” (Durkheim 1915, 218). The force of collective on individuals could be uncontrollable and it dominates their bodies and perceptions that leads to “outlandish behavior” (Durkheim 1915, 218). Trump supporters lose themselves in a rally and experience a sense of euphoria by being in a collective and cheering on what they considered is sacred. Trump claims to provide his followers the sacred while protecting them from the “profane” such as the Mexicans or the Muslims. The followers believe in the faith of a “better America” and possess totems that represent their unity such as the red hat or the campaign

When Associate Justice Antonin Scalia perished in Texas from natural causes, the focus was on the storm of controversy that was sparked by the now vacant space on the highest court in the nation, rather than the great tragedy of an honorable and long-serving government official passing away. While this does paint a sorry picture of our nation's focus on who has the power rather than individual's happiness, the altercation caused by the urgent, important, and pressing question of who should appoint the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and who the next Associate Justice should by is in many ways essential to what our country's main policies become in the next fifty years. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the senate majority leader and thus

This is what many Republican Senators believed President Obama would do. Senator Orrin Hatch from Utah stated “this appointment is about the election. So I’m pretty sure he’ll name someone the [liberal Democratic base] wants” However, to the shock of many Obama did quite the opposite.

Within the past few months the American people have witnessed violence from Isis and ultimately have fallen into a state of fear and confusion in regards to the safety of the nation. In response, Presidential candidate Donald Trump feels he has the capability to “make America great again” (Berman). In Russell Berman’s article “Donald Trump’s Call to Ban Muslim Immigrants,” he discusses Trump’s plan to address the issue: a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” Because he is afraid of more attacks occurring in the United States, Trump stands up for these beliefs even though many people believe they are words of prejudice. Trump is not the only person who acts with prejudice when scared. Playwrights Arthur Miller

First, one would want to look at Judge Garland’s background and try and see why President Obama would choose to nominate him. Judge Garland quickly made a name for himself by going after corrupted politicians and those who have committed violent crimes. For example, one of Garland’s cases was the bombing of Oklahoma City in the 1990s. The bombing resulted in 168 deaths in which most of them were kids. In the end, Garland

The Trump Administration has nominated quite a few controversial cabinet members. Nominating everyone from the wife of the Senate Majority to retired 4-star generals, the Trump Administration has sparked debates over almost every cabinet seat selection. One of the most controversial nominees was the new Secretary of Education, Betsy Devos. Devos, the daughter of billionaire industrialist and founder of Prince Corporation, Edgar Prince, and a well-documented supporter of school choice with ties to the Reform Christian community, was the only cabinet nominee in American history to receive a tied vote in the Senate. The tie was ended in a historic vote of the Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence. Pence confirmed Devos as the new Secretary

“Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who seems to have any inclination to act strictly in America’s interest. More importantly, he is the only Republican candidate who is willing to even address the problem. Trump may not have been right to say that we need to stop letting more Muslims into the country or, at least, examine the issue, but he wasn’t crazy to suggest it either”.

     Lastly the media also has a large role in the appointments. They media can often be viewed as a popularity guide. Since it is a very powerful entity, the president does not wish to accumulate bad press and therefore could be found be very choosing the appointment that would be in his best favor. Newspapers (the NY Times) and TV stations (CNN) as well as radio broadcaster (such as Imus) have huge audiences. If they feel that a president made a bad selection they let people know about and what say can have a large impact on how the president is viewed. The president would want to avoid this at all

In his first 100 days, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has perhaps done more to advance the priorities of President Trump than more than any other member of the executive cabinet.

Trump supporters have been even more ethnocentric than before, because of the Election Day closing in on us. The studies in the article show the dramatic difference in ethnocentrism between Republicans and Democrats. “Almost 20 percent of Trump supporters disagree with the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery in the United States.” This goes to show that a small percentage of Americans today would not mind if we still had slaves in society today. Trump has said himself that he wants to deport all Muslims and Mexicans back to their countries. Ethnocentrism is demonstrated by a graph showing which party (Democrat or Republican) has a higher level of ethnocentrism. With Trumps’ people-pleasing tactics he can try and persuade millions

President elect Donald Trump has never held a position in government or any position of service as a government official. Donald has not even recognized the importance of his job and the diversities of his choices his Presidential cabinet should have to better serve the country.
