There’s a reason we don’t let brand new pilots in the left seat of passenger jets. They might look like they know how to fly, but really they only know how to crash. And there’s a reason that if Donald Trump is elected president, he will destroy America’s foundation.
The Ig Nobel Prize is given to those who make earth-shattering observations which on their face are hilariously funny, but deeply true just the same. Justin Kruger and David Dunning won theirs in 2000 for a paper entitled “Unskilled and unaware of it: How difficulties in recognizing one’s own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessements.” The entire paper can be summed up with this one graph:

Donald Trump is at the pinnacle of confidence in every category of Making America Great Again™, and expert in only one: Making Donald Trump Look Great*. We could have a

It doesn’t matter if his term is marked with peerless efficiency or (more likely) unsurpassed fecklessness. He doesn’t know enough about ends and means to know how incompetent he is at both. Village Voice reporter Wayne Barrett wrote this about Trump in 1979:
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.”
The presidency is Trump’s ultimate deal. Politics has run in the Trump family for a century. Spreading the cash around to acquire political favors is a Trump mainstay–it was for dad Fred and it is for Donald. The apple has not fallen far from the
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.
Lucky for the people Mr. Trump is just that. Trump owns Trump Organization, a company ranked 62nd of the top 100 companies in the U.S.. The company is worth roughly 9.5 billion dollars alone (NAGLE). Donald Trump as a standalone figure is worth roughly 4.5 billion dollars. If there is a physical representation of a person’s success, it would be money. Trump has taken his father’s role in the real estate world and not only met, but exceeded the expectations that he was imagined to have. He expanded rapidly from the original company and broadened its range from New Jersey to Florida to Manhattan, and even The New York Suburbs ("Trump Organization."). Even after he went bankrupt four times, he managed to pull himself out of the dirt and rise back up to his dominate spot. He surrounds himself with winning people and anyone who can’t perform at the level Trump demands, he fires. He doesn’t settle for mediocrity. He is a fierce competitor and that's what America
“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,
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 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
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.
“The direction Donald Trump leads his life has made him learn to develop balanced, wholeness, and greater awareness in every aspect of his life. Donald Trump took what he had learned (either through his own life experiences or formal education) and shared it with other people, to express and communicate it in a very beneficial way. Understanding and knowledge, which enhances the quality of life of Donald and people close to him, is of real value. Placing Trumps convictions, philosophy, and understanding into practice made him discover more about the beauty of life and to test his own belief system.” (Rockefeller) So in other words, Donald Trump is a successful businessman, who always has been a person that wants to share the principles of his
The legacy of Trump is nearly predetermined because of the theory of political time. Constitutional governance may currently be stretching, but it is not vulnerable. By default, he is a better president than individuals such as Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Herbert Hoover. While many political commentators argue Trump's "presidency is a failure… [because] his moral character and self-serving leadership" (The Gazette), for this exact same reason, his presidency has accomplishments. Using rhetoric, "the most influential [tool]...
Donald Trump offered an Olive Branch to the Republican Establishment fearing him. From the opening bell, Trump called upon the party to unite around his candidacy. Trump cast himself as the leader of a movement that will make America Great, and rightfully so. The candidates clashed over foreign policy depicting Trump savvy business astute opposed to his opponents. The
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Cay Johnston and investigative columnist Wayne Barrett composed an unapproved 1992 history on Donald Trump where they asserted the business head honcho and his organizations worked together in New York and Philadelphia families connected to the Mafia. Composed wrongdoing aside, do we truly need a U.S. president who has facilitated not one, but rather two WrestleMania 's? Donald Trump has even effectively partaken in World Wrestling Entertainment, occasions with proprietor Vince McMahon. Might anyone be able to see Jimmy Carter does likewise? He has a background marked by settling on choices indiscriminately without administering to the outcomes that take after the decision that he has made, fundamentally on account of his indiscreet nature. There 's an adage that "a president is just on a par with his counsels." But who might, and could, exhort Donald Trump? All things considered, this is the man whose catchphrase is "You 're discharged!" Having run his own domain for almost 40 years, Donald Trump is accustomed to doing however he sees fit making major decisions. He doesn 't listen to anybody by any stretch of the imagination, he 's surely not listening to any individual who was on his crusade group who may have been instructing him to tone down his talk. So how might he listen to a multitude of counsels who were attempting to give him exhortation on local and outside arrangement, the military and the economy? He has a longing for the most
Kristof opens the article with a question, “What happens when the people of a great nation gradually realize that their leader may not be, er, quite right in the head?” Which is answered with the use of evidence throughout the article, that culminates in his thesis in the final paragraph, “The lesson is that Rome was able to inoculate itself against unstable rulers so that it could recover and rise to new glories. The subject that he writes about is controversial, even though anything political causes controversy because there are always multiple stances when it comes to an issue like this. This debate at its core is about whether Donald Trump is a good president or not, which of course is a very important political issue. Multiple reasons
Trump isn’t the best president for the United States because he doesn’t make sure American lives are safe and he constantly making decisions that would put our lives in danger. Many people believe that he is a good president, but why would our country choose someone who is selfish and egotistical. Trump being the president isn’t helping our economy improve and if anything, it made it worse.
Changes are not always for the better of the world. Going from a good president to a business man is not easy adjustment. Although trump won the election, Donald trump will not make an effective president because he is racist and he will destroy the world.
On November 8th, 2016, something horrible happened to me and every citizen of the United States. Donald Trump the most evil, misogynistic, racist man in the entire world, was elected as President of the United States. Since then, America has fallen into the depths of Republican Party beliefs, hatred, and attacking CNN a fair and balanced news outlet.
