With the rise of Donald Trump in the United States and of European far right wing parties (some with fascist tendencies) we are seeing a new rise of conservatism in the western world in the last years. Why has this happened so fast? Is a natural tendency that follows too
November 8, 2016. As the clock ticked from day to dust, the American population sat down to the conclusion of the forty fifth presidential election. Within moments, the fate of the nation was broadcasted into the homes and hearts of millions. For the some, the results of the election bought upon a sense of joy and excitement. However, for the other half of America’s citizens, hearing the call for Trump to presidency emitted feelings of sadness, disappointment, and above all else, confusion.

In fact, how did a man of such little constitutional knowledge obtain the amount of political attention
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.

In the United States, the campaign of 2016 started off and continues to show a shift in issues citizens currently find important. The campaign has been unique for who ran and continue to run for the title of nominee. There are some veterans such as Hillary Rodham Clinton and some new to the race such as Ben Carson. The Republican Nomination for 2016 more than the Democrat’s has brought a large spectrum of different candidates with distinctive rhetoric and stances on issues to the public eye. An individual that stood out greatly against the grain was Donald John Trump. Trump’s work with The Apprentice did help to get his face known in the public, but may not the reason he attained a large support on the campaign trail. Other factors such as personality traits and social media contribute additionally to how well Trump campaigned. Trump contain some traits such as an appeal to voters through his rhetoric, an association with the Republican party, and utilization of social media. Trump’s effective usage of these two methods allowed him to become the Republican Nominee.

Trump has been in office, in power, and inside our minds as he unravels his entire plans and his kept promises about his health-care plans, budget strategies, and immigration bans.
Presidential Comparison This paper is going to be a comparison between the presidential nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump was born in Queens New York in the year of 1946. Trump’s father was a wealthy business man in the field of real-state, spending his time building supervising middle income apartments throughout New York City. At the age of thirteen, Trumps father sent him to the local military school in order to teach him discipline and top marks. He demonstrated the ability to be a bright student, star athlete and graduated in the year of 1964. He went on to attend the University of Fordham, later transferring to Wharton School of Finance to graduate in the year of 1968. After leaving collage, Trump had to decide how he would pursue his career. He had the opportunity to work for his father’s busyness; however, he had larger dreams, he was going to build his own empire just like his father (Donald Trump Biography) . With a small loan of one million dollars from his father, Trump moved to Manhattan in 1971 “My whole life really has been a 'no ' and I fought through it, 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” (Jeremy Diamond. 2015.). Many people criticize him for this commit because one million dollars is not “small”, one million dollars today was about 6.8 million dollars in 1971. When first moving to Manhattan in 1971, Trump spent his
What Donald Trump Does to Influences Voters I found that a lot of what Donald Trump said and did in the first presidential debate was very interesting. The things that I found most influential and interesting was his hand gestures, his word choice and what he said. Donald Trump displays himself as a strong, fearless leader with how he looks, how he acts and what he says. Donald Trump started off as a businessman and slowly grew his company. I believe that he will be a successful leader because he created a multimillion dollar company from very little. If he could get that rich, who knows what he could do to help Americans.
Donald Trump’s win in the recent Presidential campaign is probably one of the greatest paradoxes in the recent political history of the US. On the one hand, he was the candidate unwanted and criticised by everyone, including the Republican Party, which has actually nominated him as the President. On the other hand, his very controversial sayings and ideas has drawn the public attention and public support to him and revived nostalgic feelings of many Americans about traditional American values and return of America to its greatness.
Everybody says that Donald Trump keeps ridiculizing himself for the whole nation to see and has a tendency to speak without thinking. As a matter of fact, we all thought this was just a publicity hoax going on and we'd move on after a while. As months go by and while many still mock him in the news, there's no denying he's ascending in the polls a dominating the Republican field. I believe Trump will win, despite the absurdity of the conception. I will demonstrate my thesis with three ideas in this essay, starting off with his impact on the US economy, continuing with his demands and finishing with his image in the media.
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,
This article showed the influence to the society because people are judging their life choice decision about stock based on their perspective and reputation of President Trump. President Trump may have a bad reputation to many people just because of that doesn't mean you need to be afraid of him. In fact he is a excellent in business world and his reputation about it is huge. This affected my life by showing me that just because President Trump being the new America President doesn't mean I have to not sell my stock because he can make some big changes in the stock market, beside as he have promised, he will also make America great again and from that I can know that what he means is to make America economy great
