Is Trump Sabotaging Himself Analysis

As young adults we are all aware of the camping’s that has been occurring through out the past few months. One of those participants happens to be Donald Trump, who follows the theory of CONFLICT. This theory describes how power from individuals is self-proclaimed. Trump is well known for the many assumptions he has made toward immigrants, primarily Hispanics and Asians. His view on these racial groups demonstrates his consideration toward social life and how it is a competition.

Donald Trump before he became the 45th president, his famous campaign motto “Make America Great Again” caught the attention of many Americans, but mostly by white Americans. Trump’s tactics made him a very clever man throughout the election, he had many techniques on how to gain the American vote. Throughout his campaign, he was attentive of the men around him. For example, Trump knew exactly what to say to get the attention of the American people. He already had in mind who he was going to pick in position for foreign policy, national security, and defense (“Donald Trump is the ultimate Machiavellian prince”). With this intention, he brought comfort to Americans, yet the people he was going to pick for these positions all have a common trait, which was all of them are specialist in the Middle East and Russia. Not only, was Trump attentive of America, yet he kept in mind how it was going to affect

The recent election of 2016 shows that artifice is essential in winning voters. Donald Trump, throughout his campaign, displayed an image of himself that people would perceive as “tough” and “strong”. The image of Trump as a reality TV star made him more likable by Americans. Trump spoke openly to people's economic stress, cultural fears and the disillusion with politicians. He promised to “bring

However, when confidence in the government is lost due to public crises, people seek a charismatic leader. As a charismatic leader, “men do not obey him by virtue of tradition or statute, but because they believe in him” (Weber 1946, 79). Trump expresses charisma in his determination and vows to make “make great America again”, which impresses his followers. Many may find Trump to be inspiring, honest, or courageous. It’s those unique characteristics that gain him authority and is a powerful form of domination that builds a close relationship between the leader and his/her followers. Trump does not abide by norms or traditional policies, he has a personal approach in the system. His passionate emphasis on his ability to restore broken policies and America, convinces and attracts followers that believe in his infallible

“The Limit of Trumpism,” discusses how Trump’s agenda has kept him in the presidential election. Many have tried to follow his agendas but have caused them to lose the primaries. The article also demonstrates the limits to Trump. The biggest fault Trump has is reaching minorities. Instead of trying to entice minorities he is bashing immigrants. The author believes that this area of ignorance is causing Trump to lose in the polls.

Trump is a name with a lot of history and a lot of connotation that only continues to grow as Donald Trump runs his presidential campaign. With all the backing that he proclaims, Trump still shows alarming qualities for a man that could be rising to power. He shows inconsistency which alludes to a weakness of character that makes him a poor presidential candidate. He is widely known for his aggressive arrogant ideas, which appeals to come people, but major concern arises from Trump being unable to defend his own ideas and, when he is questioned about them, he turns tail and flip-flops his opinions. Being able to clearly and concisely present ideas and then defend them seems like an elementary concept of how to build a solid platform, yet it

There are even more people engrossed in Trump's campaign as his contentious rhetoric is spreading and becoming exponentially obscene. His words foreshadow what he'd do if he were president. My teachers have said that they "don't care" if Trump becomes president because "he wouldn't have any power, thanks to Congress." Obviously, that's false, and as we all have seen, his divisive words have been significantly detrimental to unification in this country - and he's not even in charge. I can imagine how he'd undermine the liberties granted by this country from the start. As he gains more advocates for becoming President of the U.S.A, I'm sure everyone else will be even more surprised by what he has to say because he'll have more leeway for his

Conservative dignitaries, friends and Distinguished speakers of this year’s Conservative political action conference… I want to first say thank you for inviting me to speak… It is not only an honor but will be the highlight of my life to not only address some of our party’s rank and file but, to also place emphasis on our core principles and just what it is that makes us conservatives.

With the impending election looming closer and closer, the approach of the presidential throne seems to elicit a plethora of opinions on who is the most viable candidate. However, the candidate that has caused controversy at every angle possible is none other than Donald Trump. Famous for his extreme affluence and most notably his TV drama, The Apprentice, President-elect Donald Trump has integrated his unctuous persona into his campaign. The San Diego Union Tribune’s article on Donald Trump, “…Great Power and Greater Irresponsibility”, introduces us with the possibility that Donald Trump is not the “Make America Great American” man he claims to be, and in fact he is the exact opposite. While for some Americans, his aversion to political correctness is admirable and induces a strong support; many are adverse to his social conduct and view his idiosyncrasies polar to the fabric of the Constitution. The article brings forth a target audience of both non-supporters and supporters alike in grave attempt to eradicate this supposed allure of Trump.

Throughout the their article “Donald Trump, Abortion Foe, Eyes ‘Punishment’ for Women, Then Recants” by Matt Flegenhiemer and Maggie Haberman analyzed Donald Trump recent comments the he made recently about his feelings about abortion. While I wasn’t surprised to hear this come out of Donald Trump mouth, I was slightly surprised of the reaction that came out of it. Especially from his opposing candidates and anti abortion settlements. I did find it interesting that his opposing candidates had something to say against it, even though all of the Republican candidates are strongly pro-life. So that does that even make a case? Not really.

In the New York Times Opinion Editorial Piece, “Trump Embarrasses Himself and Our Country,” Nicholas Kristof argues how Donald Trump’s picks for his administration are embarrassing, and do not represent the United States. Stage one of the informed citizen determines the need for critical self-protection when looking at rhetoric. One should ask two important questions about rhetoric before analysis, “Is a major claim on beliefs/attitudes/values or actions being made?” and, “Is the person relying merely relaying information or is he/she strategically presenting the material?” (p. 273 analyzing rhetoric). Applying this to the article by Kristof, I believe he is making a major claim on values and actions, and that he strategically wrote the article to persuade/inform the American people that read the New York Times.

Trump's Personality Factors became a massive apeal to the racial, nostalgic and conservative princples of the major constintuents of the U.S voting demogrpahic. AfWith the lack of plans and listening as well as reading his responses during the debates it was clear to me that I had become completely dishearted in listening to a Politcal Candidate who stated that African Americans and Hispanics are " living in hell"..." because the cities are so violent." ..." the arugument is that we have to take the guns away from these people... These are people that are bad people." (The Washington Post)

As presidential candidate, Trump’s campaign has been plagued by controversy. His speeches and social media have drawn the attention of many new sources and the media. This attention is the source of the problem according to his vice presidential nominee, Mike Pence. During a meeting in Manchester, NH, Pence addressed his concern over the coverage that the words of Trump are receiving. He voices his annoyance that Donald Trump is picked apart by the media, while Clinton appears to be left unharmed. This assertion appeals to the Trump supporters who feel that Trump is fighting against a corrupt voting system, that will be nearly impossible to win against. This tactic is not unheard of in presidential, but normally occurs later in the race, not

President Donald Trump is a notorious key player in social media and news stories. During the 2016 Presidential Election, many of Trump’s tweets were deemed inappropriate or outrageous by news outlets and the American public. Now, the tweets being sent from Trump’s account no longer comes off as a shock, rather than as something expected. With tweets ranging from self-adoration, animosity, and false claims, it is not difficult to discover one of these tweets within the 36.1K tweets he has released since joining Twitter in March of 2009. Trump’s egotism, misleading content, and intense narcissism are present in his interviews, online presence, and tweets. One of the misleading claims that he had made in late February was that he decreased the National Debt. Earlier this year Trump insisted that within the first month of his presidency, he had decreased National Debt. However, his claim is misleading and deceitful to the public. By taking credit for the debt without providing empirical supporting data, Trump has committed a false cause fallacy. The false cause fallacy is when an argument is made claiming that sequential events are caused by each other. False cause fallacy uses sequential events as evidence that the first thing caused the second thing.

Donald J. Trump is a perfect example of the American example of overcoming adversity, having set new standards of perfection in business. He is however an autocratic leader who concentrates decision-making, and exerts absolute power. He includes himself with the minutest of points of interest of his business, and restrictions contributions from a handpicked few in his team. (Brighthubpmcom, 2017)
