Trump’s beliefs on building the American economy illustrate that he meets the moral foundation framework of authority and loyalty (Haidt, 2013). The American founding fathers believed in an America that is liberal and economically stable. They believed that all Americans should have jobs and be comfortable in their own country. However, with the previous American governments, did little to meet the founding fathers dream for the USA; Trump through his political declarations seems to be loyal in achieving the founding fathers dream. Trump intends to repatriating jobs that China has been slowly taking away from the USA. This is a clear indication of loyalty. In Haidt’s writings loyalty involves that the leader should be seen to enforce national values such as patriotism and nationalism. Through creating more jobs and building the economy, Trump is observing the American nationalism. Similarly, the fact that trump wants to recover jobs from China shows that he is a patriot. A patriot leader would put his country first ahead of anything.

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.
“Make America Great Again,” the overarching theme of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump’s campaign brings to light the blunt arrogance of our beloved Donald J. Trump. Trump: a billionaire businessman, entrepreneur, and part time reality TV monkey, started his presidential run as of June 2015. He has, since his declaration of his run, been the frontrunner for the GOP Poll breaking out above the other candidates of Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and many others by consistent double digits. His run so far has been filled with all things Americans lovingly refer to as in its entirety, Donald Trump: arrogance, controversial pursuits, and lack of explanation to anything he has planned. Though Trump himself has decades of experience with economics,
Donald John Trump is currently one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is having no trouble winning numerous state caucuses and is currently the leading candidate with the most delegates among his republican peers. In the media, he is a candidate that seems to have the most air time compared to all of his contenders; his saturated exposure can be considered one of the major contributor to his rising popularity. Trump delivers simple but effective rhetoric about tax cuts for the rich as well as the poor, anti-free trade, tough immigration reform, Nationalism, and other topics that naturally draw in support from the average right-winged conservative individual. His crazy
To the point where we take him at his word understanding that Trump is a negotiator whose positions are often purposefully deceptive, what he advocates is a rejection of our Madisonian inheritance and an embrace of Barack Obama’s authoritarianism. But conservatives have far more to learn from his campaign than many might like to admit. The Trump voter is moderate, disaffected, with patriotic instincts. He feels disconnected from the GOP and other broken public institutions, left behind by a national political elite that no longer believes he matters. Trump doesn’t go nearly as far as Nixon. Yet in an era
Donald Trump has voiced his strong opposition to Mexicans being in the United States; he even went as far as proposing the idea of building a wall separating Mexico from the US. According to Forbes’ article written by Dolia Estevez, “he wants to deport 11.3 million undocumented workers, 6 million of which are Mexicans, and strip babies born to undocumented immigrants of their birthright citizenship.”
There is no one reason that can explain President Donald J. Trump's controversial, but enduring appeal; however, the combination of charisma and a powerful message (i.e. “Make America Great Again”) were some of the greatest contributors to the success of his 2016 Presidential campaign. Donald Trump’s bold and non-politically correct approach to politics, along with his charismatic personality appealed to many Americans, and his campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again,” made many American’s feel nostalgic, because it allowed them to attach their own individual perception of when they felt America was at its greatest.
President Trump exhibits similar traits, focusing on “bravado and branding,” according to Marc Fisher of the Washington Post. Plunkitt’s striking words help to contextualize the new leadership style in the White House, emphasizing the debate of the place of morality in effective political leadership. This debate extends far beyond business advantages, to crucial questions about Trump’s handling of immigration policy, gay, lesbian, and transgender rights, and his frequent use of racial epithets that are atypical for a President to employ. These focus areas are deeply rooted in ethical debates. Through Plunkitt’s writing, we can better understand the patterns of Trump in regards to political correctness and ethics. Moreover, we can debate the necessity of morality in our nation’s most prominent leaders and political
