Visual Analysis : Donald Trump

On the evening of September 11, 2001, George W. Bush managed to change the country forever with a simple three letter word. President Bush gained numerous advantages following his renown speech. Many Americans lost their lives on 911 due to terrorism being used as a form of communication. Language is the cornerstone of all known societies and is essential for a country to thrive. Without language there is no understanding. Without understanding conflicts are inevitable.

Understanding Mexican culture can be as complicated as understanding the integral workings of the human mind, with its many facets which make it almost impossible to understand. However, understanding the encounters that take place between Mexicans and foreigners may serve as a gateway into giving a more clear and comprehensive understanding of Mexican people. However, There are many different angles that contribute to our understanding of Mexican culture. Some of the more direct and prominent example can be seen in “The Maquiladora” by William Langewiesche as well as “Amigos Mexicans” by Juan Villoro with both authors using the unbiased eyes of American reporters to narrate and give a journalist view points of the encounters they’ve had with

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.”

The 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, is a political man who has many ideas to improve the U.S. One of the many idea he had included building a wall between the borders of the United States and Mexico for the “purpose of controlling immigration into America”. According to Trump this wall is supposed to help our country with its national security. In reality though, many people believe that the wall is showing Trumps true colors. Many people are contemplating on the fact if Trump is a racist person who is building the wall because it provides a method of targeting and preventing those who are trying to cross the Mexican-American Border. In reality, Trump only cares about trying to make “America Great Again”, and

For the visual portion of this essay I chose to print and paste pictures of objects that were either in the story or were symbolized throughout the story. I decided to put a justice scale for Harrison Bergeron because the story was about equality. the story was unique because it did not only make people ''equal in the eyes of God and the law,'' Kurt Vonnegut took the idea of equality to a whole other level by making every man and woman equal in every way possible, which is why I chose to represent this story with the justice scale. Another story that had a lot of symbolism is ''The Study in Geometry'' who's title cleverly means the study in triangles or in this case love triangle. In this story our protagonist

As a placebo for a changing guard, La Virgen de Guadalupe proved highly successful. The iconic image of La Virgen de Guadalupe remains static in both form and symbolism until the mid twentieth century, when a new movement among Mexican-Americans emerges in California, dubbed the Chicano movement. As visual propaganda becomes a large part of the movement, a significant body of art with common themes and styles, known as Chicano art, follows. This shift in subject matter among Mexican-American artists toward a specific social and political agenda began earlier, as evidenced by the work of Rivera, Orozco, and Posada, but, it isn’t until the mid 1960’s that national or religious iconographic images are recycled to support a larger political or social agenda.

On September 1, 2016, Marco Gutierrez from Latinos for Trump exclaimed that: “My culture is a very dominant culture, and it’s imposing and it’s causing problems… if you don’t do something about it, you’re going to have taco trucks on every corner.” The hashtag ‘#tacotrucksoneverycorner’ blew up on Twitter and Facebook as many people fantasized about a utopia in which you could have nearly unlimited access to tacos al pastor. However, Gutierrez’s comment also cast a light on a very serious cause of anxiety for many Americans. Specifically, fear of the Latino invasion. This hyper-emotional state has many people feeling that their country, rights, property, and security—the basic components of the American Identity— are being threatened because of a perception that Latinos are not ‘Americanizing’. I argue that not only are these fears that Latinos are endangering American Culture are in fact illegitimate, but also that the idea of ‘Assimilation’ or ‘Americanizing’ promotes the racist hegemony of the Anglo-Conformity Model that contends that any immigrant who does not meet both the criteria of ‘White’ and ‘Protestant’ is therefore inferior and a threat.

If Mr. Trump is serious in his attempt for the presidency then he needs to be hispanic-friendly. He needs to stop looking at the increasing Latina/Latino population as a problem that needs to be dealt with. If he starts treating hispanics with dignity and respect, he will see results in the polls.

“I believe Cinco de Mayo is one of the most pointless holidays ever created. I don’t celebrate it per se, I don’t look forward to it or wear a sombrero or go to a Mexican restaurant to go celebrate it. If people want to celebrate it, that’s fine, but I just think they are fools. I’m referring to Mexicans celebrating it because there is nothing to celebrate,” said

The article I read, named “Jr’s Latest: A Child Caught Between the U.S.-Mexico Border by Melena Ryzik was about a French artist named JR who installed his first piece in Mexico. The piece was of a little boy whose eyes were looking over the Mexican barrier that borders San Diego County. It was said that the boy was almost holding onto his mother’s body. The idea of this piece came to JR in a dream. His piece was not directed to the Trump administration, but it has caught attention to the eyes of the public. Since Trump moved to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals this week, it has even more attention.

Thank you, Ricky for your support; Jorge Ramos is an excellent reporter and an avid defender of the oppressed and did not deserve to be disrespected by Donald Trump. Mr. Trump may be a great business man, and as a Latina I had a lot of respect for him. However, my respect for Mr. Trump has disappeared since the moment he decided to further show hatred toward my people by humiliating or attempting to do so when he arrogantly attacked Jorge Ramos. Mr. Ramos is such a professional and has so much class that such attack only served to reinforce his support for our people. As Latinos/Hispanics we cannot allow someone like Donald Trump to destroy what so many honest and hard working immigrants -(not only Hispanics/Latinos) have worked so hard to

This political meme is a picture of President Trump eating a taco that he posted May 5th 2016. This pictures was captioned “Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!” on his twitter. I created this meme because where I come from there is a mix of legal and illegal mexicans, but they want nothing other than a better life. The people that say they are taking jobs away from us aren’t realizing that they tend to take the jobs that most people don’t want to do. When I saw this tweet I laughed a little because he says he loves hispanics; however, he wants to put a wall between us and mexico.

Before Kevin even embarked on his trip down to Mexico, relationships between the two sides were starting to crumble at the hands of a former reality television figurehead. On June 28th, 2015, Donald Trump announced he was running for President of the United States as a Republican, and made a few racists remarks during his speech. He made derogatory allegations perceiving the Mexican citizens who illegally came to the United States as not, “being Mexico’s best. They 're sending people who have lots of problems (which include) drugs and being

Donald J. Trump is a perfect example of the American example of overcoming adversity, having set new standards of perfection in business. He is however an autocratic leader who concentrates decision-making, and exerts absolute power. He includes himself with the minutest of points of interest of his business, and restrictions contributions from a handpicked few in his team. (Brighthubpmcom, 2017)

In this case there is an interaction between Mexican and American culture. Van West was eagerly trying to discuss the matter with Hernandez but things never worked out his way. The Vice President would push the issue aside and regard it as not important. To him it was something that could be put off and dealt withlater. He kept assuring Van West that he is capable of resolving the problem on his own.
