The Negative Effects Of The Trump Administration

On the morning of September 11, 2001, two planes hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists crashed into the symbol of military and capitalism; the World Trade Center (History.com). This attack killed approximately 3,000 people (History.com). One other plane crashed into the Pentagon and 125 people lost their lives in that attack (History.com). That day, referred to as 9/11, left a stain in the hearts and minds of many Americans. These attacks brought out the hero in a great deal of people, but many heroes died on that day, and those heroes will never be forgotten. Because of this tragic event, millions of American citizens were injured or have had to endure the lasting effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (History.com). This awful event is our hope for the future because it taught us we need to combat terrorism better and we are still fighting this battle today (History.com).

People automatically assume that a news organization’s bias is strictly a bad thing, while this does seem like a bad thing, the bias is negated by the sheer quantity of news sites that you can easily visit, this may take some additional time, but it doesn’t have to take a long time, while you’re stuck in traffic you can just pull out your smartphone and look at some news sites. If you find that one site has too much of a bias that doesn’t mean that you should just ignore that site completely, instead you should look for the same news story on a different site that has a different perspective, instead of just looking at the media from one point of view, look at both the left and right point of view. This bias allows for a look into how both sides see an argument, while one side may see something as a good thing, another side may see it as a bad thing. This allows you to get into the mind of the news stations and their reporters. While you're watching the news always maintain a level of skepticism about what the news station is saying. Skepticism is key to watching the news in any environment, without any level of skepticism you quickly become a mindless zombies that just believe something because it was said on Fox NEWS or MSNBC. You should take into account all the things said by the different news stations in order to formulate

The media today has become a topic of concern for many members of the general population. Am I getting a reliable source of information? Is this source withholding the truth and ameliorating a topic? If I know that the information being reported is false, how can I trust that any other information from this source can be trusted? These are several questions that a particular citizen might make on a day to day basis, and when the question of bias is thrown into the mix, an overwhelming feeling of mistrust in our media can ensue. Media sources today are siding more and more towards their viewers political views, and this creates a form of media-bias that can spread untrustworthy information out into the public. Depending on your media source,

Fifty-two years after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the racial tensions and geopolitical pressures within the United States continue to influence the policies of immigration. Since 1965, there has not been any major advancements in immigration policies, though with current President, Donald Trump, immigration policies are facing reforms. President Trump has followed closely with the ideals of past strict immigration policies in the America first attitude. Trump’s goals are to achieve three key objectives, that are, “to ensure safe and lawful admissions; defend the safety and security of our country; and protect American workers and taxpayers” (Office of the Press Secretary). With his newly proposed travel ban in effect, the country is eager to see how it will impact the United States and its relations with other countries.

September 11. 2001 was a major turning point in American History, and its political and social impact can still be felt today. The tragic event shook the entire country on the civilian and federal level. Before 9/11 many did not think that a plan of terrorism such as that of Osama Bin Laden's would be able to come to fruition because they had great trust in American security. The destruction came as a wakeup call to the federal government and American citizens themselves. National Security became the first thing people thought of when they traveled, and civilians looked to the government for reassurance that they were safe. The federal government's plan of action was to pass a series of acts that would go on to create the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Association. Along with the creation of more strict security measures came the question of "who is a terrorist?" within the country. The formation of the DHS, TSA, and increase of Islamophobia are some examples of the lasting effects that 9/11 had on the country.

“Manifest Destiny”- a term which was commonly used in 1900s during the presidency of James K. Polk means that America was destine to expand throughout the continent (313). After the Louisiana Purchase, the United States continued to expand its border westward by gaining the territory from Mexico. During this geographic expansion, slavery was one of the most controversial issues in the United States. American, especially Southerners, not only expanded their country geographically but also transplanted their “slavery culture” to every land that they settled in by bringing slave labors to the new land. This expansion has both negative and positive effects on America’s economy and politics.

The United States has had numerous presidents varying in political parties, beliefs, and ethical values. And in a country as diverse in race, religion, and culture as the U.S. is, it does not come as surprise that the country has yet to elect a president in which everyone supports. Every president has their flaws and every action of the White House is controversial and scrutinized. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “The ultimate measure of a man is not of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. With every presidency comes controversies which can define the legacy of that president and their impact on the country. Following more present day presidencies, President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration is an extremely controversial topic around the world right now. Using an executive order President Trump has temporarily banned travel from seven countries.

In order to find sources for my paper, I used several websites and two books. I also used a scholarly journal I found through Library databases. I actually gathered a lot of research on the topics of rhetoric and political campaigns, but the sources I used were ones that were related to my thesis. Which was, “Through news, social media and TV current politicians such as Donald Trump use their rhetorical tools to influence a much larger portion of the population’s way of thinking in the political sphere.” Sources that supported this thesis were ones related to news and politics, social media, and television. As well I used Donald Trump, as my example throughout this paper because of his current popularity and his interesting rhetorical uses. I disagreed a lot of biased information from a source that I later

Often times people utilize certain sources and watch certain news channels because these viewers can relate to the views on these sources. It can make one believe that his/her perspective is correct simply because that is what the new source is providing. Viewers watch news sources that share the same opinions as their own, because these viewers are just as bias as the sources; these viewers favor one side, as do the news sources. John Stossel, a Fox News reporter discusses the book “Bias” with author Bernie Goldberg, an ex CBS News reporter. John expected for ABC to read the book and disagree with Bernie on the ABC news channel (Goldberg and Stossel). However, these people were proud of not reading the book and gave it no attention. Even if one does not agree with a certain viewpoint, it is very important to hear the different perspectives because it allows the viewer to see and hear other people’s opinion. Because most news sources do not include all sides, it becomes difficult for an individual to

Donald Trump is a republican candidate who is leading the polls for the upcoming presidential election; numerous people are terrified that America would deteriorate if he was chosen as president. Furthermore, Trump is excessively publicized about since he has taken one sided views on controversial topics. For example, Trump wants to ban the immigration of Muslims into the U.S. (Diamond, 1), and he wants a border to be assembled between the U.S. and Mexico (McCarthy, 1), which he assumes Mexico will pay for. Trump accounts for 43 percent of all GOP coverage on network news so far this year (Cary, 1). When Trump insults war heroes, women, immigrants, his fellow candidates, and Congress people of

These early instances of political trouble are further reflected in Trump’s exceptionally low approval ratings, which indicate the public’s swelling dissatisfaction with the current operation of government, the weakening of the Reagan regime, and the looming possibility of political disjunction. Recent polls establish Trump’s approval rating at 38 percent--a number largely unprecedented so early into a president’s first term (Gallup). Disjunctive presidents often suffer from the lowest approval ratings of other regime leaders because of the shortcomings and disadvantages they already face when they first enter office. Carter experienced similarly low public favor relative to other presidents during the F.D.R. regime, garnering an average

For our new president, Donald trump it has already been a rough start in office and its only been a couple of weeks. There is not a lot of people that approve of how he’s handling is job already. The biggest action citizens disapprove of is the travel restrictions and most people say it is an attempt to ban Muslims from entering the US. Another action that is highly disapproved is “The Wall” which will be between the US and Mexico. The citizens of the US are very divided on whether this will make the US a safer place and protects us from terrorism. Most voters think President Trump’s executive order on immigration is better described as a restriction on terrorist than as a Muslim ban.

As of January of 2017, America is under new management. Donald J Trump, a businessman and reality television host, is the 45th President of the United States of America. In his inauguration speech, he reiterated the point of “America First!”, hailing back to the platform he ran on during the election against Hillary Rodham Clinton. His campaign was focused on anti-immigrant rhetoric, targeting non-American Muslims and Mexicans. He insists upon building a wall across our southern border and making Mexico pay for it. He criticizes trade with China, and believes that American companies need to be manufacturing their products at home instead of abroad. A president cannot govern by rhetoric, but according to a study held by White House advisor and

After only 4 days of presiding in office, Trump sent out an executive order suspending any entry of people from seven countries: Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia. These seven countries are Muslim-majority countries that have done nothing wrong now or at the time that Trump put the executive order into motion. This is just one example that puts our president’s

“An immigrant is a person who legally comes to a country to take up permanent residence. An “illegal” immigrant is a person who does so without following the established legal procedures of the destination country and who resides in that country without proper visas or other documents.” (source 1)Illegal immigration is changing the lives of many Americans today, and although all illegal immigrants are not bad and are not here by choice, or to hurt anyone, it still affects us each and every day. Illegal immigration has been a problem for many years, and it seems as if it is impossible to control, but according to former mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York it can be controlled. Giuliani stated
