Trump's Argumentative Essay: The Trump Administration

For over 2 centuries, Afghanistan has known virtually no time without war. Beginning around 326 B.C. with the conquests of Alexander the Great, to the Persians, British, Russians and most recently, America and our NATO allies, Afghanistan has been cultivated into the country that it is today through a trial by fire. Regardless of this relentless onslaught of foreign military power, the Afghan people have tirelessly defended their homeland with no outside power ever being able to subdue them completely. Following the withdrawal of the Soviet Union in 1989, the country fell into civil war, torn even further apart by fiercely dedicated tribal warlords. This power vacuum led to the rise of a group called the Taliban. Led by a one eyed man

The reverence that the American citizens have for the United States military stems from a multitude of different reasons, without a doubt our great nation contains a people with a deep resonating pride for their country. Starting with the founding of the United States, it was the revolutionary army (the

Bush gives his Presidential Address to a Joint Session of Congress on the 9/11 Attacks (2001), he maintains a very direct/to the point voice while giving his speech. Starting his speech off with, “Tonight, no such report is needed. It has already been delivered by the American people, (1)” meaning we, Americans, have seen and been apart of the damage first hand. He then states the main point he goes along with for the majority of his speech, “Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom (3).” Bush does not talk about ways our nation could or could not go about this issue he simply states exactly what is going to happen, taking a directive stand. “These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately…they will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate (9),” Bush states as he is demonstrating he is standing up, taking charge and being direct. Bush not only is sending orders to the terrorists’ who had part in the attacks but, “Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists…from this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the USA as a hostile regime (14),” showing he means business. Taking a step back and looking at where we are in this war on terrorism today gave me goose-bumps when I read this statement by Bush, “Americans should not expect one

The president feels that we as a nation will overcome terrorism. He has put into place airstrikes to take out ISIL leaders, weapons, tanks, and infrastructures. Along with our military,

The iconic American sitcom Seinfeld has this episode where George Costanza, the show’s lovable loser, mopes to friend Jerry Seinfeld: “My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have..it 's all been wrong.” Jerry deadpans back, “If every instinct you have is wrong,

September 20, 2001, was the day that President George W. Bush addressed the Nation in a Joint Session of Congress following the terror attacks upon America (also known as 9/11). His speech was given to induce a specific action while at the same time addressing the Nation and Congress of the coming war on terror. President Bush’s speech was not only meant to inform but to persuade the American people to feel comforted in the light of this tragedy and acknowledge that serious efforts are being put forth to resolve the aftershock of the attacks. He aims to persuade the Nation that war is coming and that it’s the best decision for America. He advises the Nation of the coming war, leading with, “Americans have known the casualties of war -- but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning.” (American Rhetoric, 2001). He further advises of the impending war with the statements, “Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated” and “How will we fight and win this war? We will direct every resource at our command -- to the disruption and to the defeat of the global terror network.” (American Rhetoric, 2001). President Bush’s purpose and message of the speech was made very clear: We are going to war, and it’s going to be long with several casualties.

Terrorism in George Bush's 2001 State of the Union Address Recently, President Bush gave his State of the Union Address to Congress. Throughout his speech, he makes a solid case for the further unification of America throughout these harsh times. He makes a very strong argument for the retaliation of the actions committed against America. However, when he speaks of bringing the terrorists to justice, his argument falters. He has made a hasty judgement with little proof when he first began his argument.

His self-absorption has led to an obvious disregard for the American people, and his political agenda reflects such. He rarely looks to the American people for advice, despite the message that his campaign conveys to working class conservatives (Westfall, et al.). He has consistently changed his political views to better the public image most convenient to his latest business venture. To better fit his nominating party of choice, Trump changed his stance on many national issues. His position on abortion changed from pro-choice in 1999 to pro-life for his presidential campaign (Westfall, et al.). He went from boldly supporting a longer waiting period when purchasing guns to falling short of supporting increased background checks in the last year (Westfall, et al.). Finally, he has been quoted in support of the Iraq war several times, and now to save his image, he consistently denies this fact and replaces it with his own Trump brand honesty (Gilmore). The American people deserve a candidate who has stood by his or her principles, no matter the political climate. Now with the campaign coming to a close, Donald Trump has chosen his positions on the issues and must stand by them— unless he is

The Week. The National Review. Steve Bannon got fired for leaking information, he claims Trump’s heroic phase is over and white supremacy is a “tiny and impotent fringe”. Mitch McConnell and Trump are fighting about how long it takes a health-care bill to get through. Julius Krein wrote a new

Mr. Trump uses Americans’ fear and anguish towards terrorism in his election campaign taking advantages of the current worldwide volatile situation.

The Obama (Democrat) administration’s military intervention foreign policy is in the ‘half out’ category because his administration desired “a ‘light footprint’ that enables it to fight its wars stealthily, execute its operations with the speed [. . .] and then avoid lengthy entanglements.” (Sanger xviii). Obama utilized a get-in-and-get-out-quick

He said, “I would bomb those suckers. And that’s right. I’d blow up the pipes, I’d blow up the refiners, I’d blow up every single inch that there would be nothing left. I would take their oil”(Trump, 2015). For Donald Trump to say this, he would have to know where this group must be. He thinks that if we were to go after the families of the men and women in the ISIS group, we could take them down. Everyone must care for someone in this world and even the members of ISIS are capable of caring for their own family members. So he believes that if we take down the families of ISIS members, ISIS will also come down with those family

However, the Taliban initiated such a response to message of Americans and their puppets that they will see the results with their own eyes in the near future. God

I predicated my assessment of 21st Then, on October 7th, President Bush announced operations in Afghanistan were underway. In his address to the nation, President Bush enumerated the demands given to Taliban leadership as, “close terrorist training camps; hand over leaders of the Al Qaeda network; and return all foreign nationals, including American citizens, unjustly detained in your country.” It was clear “none of these demands were met,” as President Bush announced military strikes were underway in Afghanistan. This concludes the first element of contemporary evidence.
