Trump Ethical Dilemmas

Throughout Donald's life success was not easy for him or his businesses. The Trump organization revealed that it was 5$ billion in debt in 1990, with as much as 1$ billion spent by Donald Personally. With all the casinos, hotels, and cars Trump had to create a bailout system that would allow him to take out two to three mortgages on most of properties. Unsurprisingly Donald Trump filed for bankruptcy four times. Although he was in the hole, he was able to get himself out and with that I think that he wouldn't have been able to make any crucial business decisions without the help of many bankers and lawyers but also the use of a free enterprise system.

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

Trump’s problem is not so much what he’s done, but how he’s done it. I decided at the start that I wanted to profile him by describing his deals — not his lifestyle or his personality. After getting to know him, I realized that his deals are his life. He once told me: “I won’t make a deal just to make a profit. It has to have flair.” Another Manhattan developer said it differently: “Trump won’t do a deal unless there’s something extra — a kind of moral larceny — in it. He’s not satisfied with a profit. He has to take something more. Otherwise, there’s no thrill.”

Trump may be known for his wealth but many aspects has shown that he is definitely bad in business. As president, being good in business is one of the key aspects to succeed, because you have to handle the whole nation’s financial matters. Trump boasted that he earned his own money, but he isn’t like Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, who are self-made billionaires who were innovators in their fields. Instead, Trump’s wealth is inherited from his father. Almost all his best-known successes are deducible to family ties or money given to him by his

Donald Trump is a very successful business man that is just trying his hand in politics this election. He was born in Queens, New York on the fourteenth of June in 1946 and later graduated business school at the Warton School of Finance. Other than the acting chairman and president of his own organization, Trump has become a successful author of over 15 bestselling books including “The Art of the Deal.” He is also an Emmy nominee for his show “The Apprentice” which coined the phrase “you’re fired!”(“About Donald J. Trump”). Though he may not have much governing experience, he sure has gotten a lot

There are many ethical dilemmas that occur daily in our hospitals across the world. Not everyone agrees with standards and policies that are required in hospitals or even with the law. If not everyone obeys the law, ethical cases form. In Springfield, Missouri, a holistic nurse got fired for fighting against Cox South hospital policies. Carla Brock has been a nurse at Cox South hospital and not only refused the flu shot, but also refused to wear a mask. She refused due to religious beliefs, she gets short of breath while wearing the mask, and she feels the mask is meant to intimidate and humiliate those who refuse the shot. The ethical question in this case study is to decide if Carla should have been fired for not wearing a mask after refusing the flu shot and what are other potential proposals. The four-way method will separate out what are the truths, consequences, fairness, and character, of this ethical case study.

I believe Donald Trump is technically disobeying the Emoluments Clause of Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution. The lawyers have strong case due to our President gaining revenue from other countries due to several businesses, which is a direct violation of the Clause, which states any person who holds an office of the United States may not, “. . . accept of any present, Emolument. . . from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” This clause was created by our original Framers to prevent foreign corruption, and internal corruption, such as a President attempting to gain more profits or a foreign ambassador receiving a present from another country's leader. President Trump’s may favor foreign countries over the U.S in order to gain more money.

Out of the many Republicans running in the 2016 presidential election, there is one man whose “whole life has been shaped by moral absolutes” thus making his "convictions shape his character” and “shape his policies” (CP Opinion). He has pledged to do many things, from killing Common Core and restoring common sense to opposing and vetoing any and all efforts to increase taxes. This man, Mike Huckabee, ran strongly but unsuccessfully in 2008, but is now running once again in the 2016 presidential election.

Justice Editor, Ian Millhiser, published an article called Trump poised to violate Constitution his first day in office, which discusses how recently elected President Donald Trump may be in violation of the Constitution's “Emoluments Clause”. 100 foreign diplomats gathered at a Washington Trump Hotel for the purpose of winning favoritism with Trump in order to facilitate business affairs among them once he holds office. The Emoluments Clause states, “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” The clause explains that federal officials are not in violation as long as they do not receive special treatment from the foreign agents. For example, if the President receives more than the market

Foreign governments are another interest group who if allowed could prosper from having President Trump disregard the emolument clause. Because it would give them the power to hurt President Trump financially by causing problems for his business outside of the U.S. Which could give them an advantage

Trump’s decision to falsely accuse the Central Park Five of doing past crimes is, in my opinion, very racist. He had no evidence or facts against the boys, he just assumed they had committed crimes because of the color of their skin. He was wrong for doing so, however, he wasn’t wrong for thinking they were the ones who raped the woman. The teens did indeed confess to doing the crime so what person wouldn’t believe they did it. Everyone believed them because they confessed to doing it. After 27 years, Trump should really apologize to the Central Park Five for treating them so poorly. Our country’s president should be the mature person he is supposed to be and apologize.

As many people know since Trump claimed the president's seat in 2016 there has been a multitude of problems with his presidency. One problem that has arose is that he is taking benefits from foreign countries without the consent of congress. In Article I of the Constitution there is clause about Foreign Emoluments (Emoluments Clause) where it says that “ No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States; And no person holding an office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.” The constitutional problem that has arose is that there has been three different occasions where President Trump has been known to break the rules of this clause. He has taken 40 trademarks for his company from China, housed foreign diplomats in his hotels, and foreign officials have rented out his property.

Payments received at any Trump business go to Trump businesses, not personally to President Trump, therefore, he is not violating the clause at all. In addition, President Trump is not personally performing any services for foreign governments, so claiming he is violating the clause can be a weak argument (Grewal). Nonetheless, President Trump has addressed the lawsuit. President Trump has taken many precautions to ensure he isn’t violating the constitution. For example, President Trump is stepping down from running the businesses. His children will take over the company while he is serving his term as President. President Trump states that he will not be involved in any business or decisions. Also, President Trump has asked congress for permission to donate any money paid to Trump businesses from foreign governments to the United States treasury. His decision to do so may set some skeptical minds at ease.

Presidential elect, Donald Trump, has been under fire for manipulating and utilizing his foundation for his own private benefit. Trump was accused of using over $250,000 worth of charitable donations to settle his “personal” business disputes (Steve Eder, New York Times). The money from the Donald J. Trump foundation assisted in paying for unpaid fines and law suits. He received money from close colleagues’ and friends. He decided to use that money for his own personal benefit, instead of using it for the cause it was created for.

Donald Trump is known for his erraticism and exceptional businesses practices. He shows an eccentric leadership style, which is portrayed by numerous qualities. One of these is the need for power. This is revealed by all the
