The United States Made History

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

Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has come at a time after having a president serve for two terms. Americans are eager for change. Donald Trump promises to be the change to fix the nation’s concerns about foreign affairs, and immigration

In November, American voters will be between a rock and a hard place, or you may say between the devil and the deep blue sea, when they come to elect the 44th president. After the worst president in all of American history, the best choice Americans will have for president is either a 72-year-old authoritarian maverick or a black man whose middle name is Hussein. What’s wrong with America? This is the greatest nation in the world, and it became so because of its dedicated founding fathers and its distinguished popular presidents.

November 2016 gave America its biggest political upset in decades, perhaps in the history of the nation. Donald Trump became the fifth President to lose the popular vote but somehow manage to win the presidential election. A billionaire businessman who spent most of his campaign bashing his opponents, facing allegations of sexual assault, insulting people with physical and mental handicaps, disputing allegations he was working with Russians to win the election, knocking prisoners of war because they disagreed with him, yelling about his opponent, Hillary Clinton and her alleged emails, supporting openly racist newspapers, news outlets and other organizations, and basically complaining, all of the time, no matter what was happening. He really managed to win. 2016 quite possibly held the ugliest and most upsetting presidential race in history, and will go down as such. Most of Trump’s voters were white and working class, uneducated, white men, (Thrush, White, Hughes, Ratner, Strauss, & Zeitz, 2016). His unraveled tweets, his perpetual television presence and mass rallies made him a hero to his class of voters. Now, 11 months into his Presidency, even those who voted for him avoid the news due to the continual, anxiety driven updates about which world leader our President has most recently upset. It is clear as glass Trump is affecting the moral of the entire country, Americans are more stressed in todays political climate than ever (Sifferlin, 2017) but who is really being affected by him, his administration, and his polices?

The election of Donald Trump exposed the depths of division in America today, and the duration of his presidency, no matter how long, will be a true test of this nation. No doubt, we are about to step onto the longest roller coaster ride of most of our lives, and none of us lined up for it. Nonetheless, this is our reality now. All that is left to do is deal with it.

This election is unique, and even if the choice may seem clear there are many people on the fence about who has the best fit to be our president. However, with Clinton leading in the polls, and for good reason, the American people may just be realizing that a reality television mogul has no business running for president of the United States. Even though some people may say that we could benefit from Trump’s background in business, that’s about the only thing that would work in our favor if he becomes president. Setting our nation back fifty years is not something that would benefit us but if we let Trump halt immigration, take away rights women have fought for so long and continue to say and do unbelievably ignorant things then we will only

monarchs. They did everything through the work of God. Even with other governments trying to

On the date of January 20,2017, as we introduced our new President, for some odd reason while walking the through campus it was quite and there were many depressed faces. For the last eight years, we had a leader that instilled the thought of “change” into the minds of civilians across the United States of America. Especially of the minds of minorities who was looking to turn over a new leaf. President Barrack Obama was our 44th President and he took over in a time that our economy was at its lowest point. Contrary to popular belief, Obama isn’t an incompetent man, he graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Political science and attended Harvard Law school. So, what’s the purpose of me saying all of this? Well it is because I will

In an article published by U.S. News & World Report entitled “Give Him the Benefit of the Doubt” (20 January, 2017), Michael C. Barnes encourages Americans to be deferential and hopeful with the approaching presidency of Donald Trump, arguing that his opponents should “protest the new president's actions if necessary, but [not] his presidency.” Barnes advocates this behavior by condemning those who are “[reinforcing] gridlock and [impeding] progress on important issues” through their boycotting and degrading of Trump’s inauguration; by demonstrating Trump’s commitment to serve the public, as well as gain its approval, even if it is through unconventional means, such as tweeting; and by reiterating that Trump has “unique talents” and “deal-making

As we draw closer to the inauguration of our new Commander in Chief, one cannot help but evoke memories of the turbulent and tumultuous process of deciding who the next elected official to hold the highest job position in our nation would be. There was great dissent across the country which spawned into hateful rhetoric spewed by elitist hate groups, perpetuated even further through news outlets and social media. A bombardment of negative images and stories revolving around walls, kneeling for the national anthem, interracial violence, deportation, and segregation. All examples of issues that tear at the fabric of the patchwork quilt that truly made America great.

The recent inauguration of President Donald Trump garnered much controversy and uproar as protestor became violent and mass confusion overcame the streets. The sounds of screams and tear gas bombs overshadowing the history being made with the swearing of the 45th President of the United States. Among the crowd of protesters were celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Katy Perry, Zendaya, and Scarlett Johansson. These celebrities feverishly protested the swearing in of a president that many see as a racist, misogynistic, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, fascist who was incapable of adequately and impartially governing the United States.

Although the results of the 2016 presidential election contradicted months of numerous surveys conducted by pollsters and pundits predicting a Democratic victory, it should not have been surprising to individuals familiar with the current political science research on American politics. Despite the some opinions that the election of Donald Trump marked a political watershed, underlying factors such as partisanship, a topic with decades of research for those familiar with American politics, ultimately resulted in the business and real estate mogul in being inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States.

Frank Bruni’s article “Six Long Months of President Trump” uses numerous examples of Donald Trump’s negative impact on America to prove the main argument that Trump has been an ineffective and simply terrible president who has put America in a bad place economically, politically, and socially.

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.

“Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate”. Owen Welles, an actor and film maker, was right except for this past 2016 presidential elections. It was not a politician and Donald Duck, it was a businessman and Donald Trump. In one of America’s most stunning elections in history, Americans were not just divided politically, they were also divided over key social, economic, racial, and even gender issues. When it was all set and done, we got ourselves the most controversial president we could ever dream of. As the dust started to settle in Washington DC, it is time for Americans to support Donald Trump as the president of the country, even those who did not support him in the elections. Although they can disagree with him and criticize him, skeptics should take a wait-and-see approach because, as a businessman, Trump is about the substance, not the style.
