How Did Donald Trump Call To Make America Great Again
Donald Trump’s call to “Make America Great Again” has polarized the nation, and is a very current and relevant example of corruption and violence infecting a modern revolution. Although unlike his liberal counterpart Bernie Sanders he hasn’t actually called for a “political revolution,” Donald Trump’s radical policies would be just as much of a departure from traditional American politics. He calls for the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants, a wall on the Mexican border, a ban on Muslims, and for companies based elsewhere to bring their jobs back to the United States. Ever since Trump gained the national spotlight he has been criticized for his Trump University scam and inciting violence among his supporters. When Trump University

    On June 16th at his very own Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump announced that he would be running for president. It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other…

    In the beginning of this year we were introduced to a new president. He went into office rated the one of the least liked president in history. Although his supporters tells his non-supporters to give him a chance to do good by his people, I knew that it was going to be a recipe for disaster. I was right. On his 3rd day in office he decided to cut funding to non governmental health organization that offer abortion. President Trump, while sitting in his oval office, surrounded by 7 white middle aged men, signed the global gag rule.…

    Donald Trump is the Republican choice and holds views which beforehand were only used as internet jokes, which has led many to initial think he was a joke run for president before he realised he could actually win. He believes that a wall should be built on the Mexican border to prevent people from crossing over without earning a USA citizenship, and also thinks that Muslims should not be allowed into the country in case they are terrorists. Some however think that by “build a wall” actually means he will just increase security, among these are Collan H. who says “Many say that Trump is actually going to build a wall, but he won't.” Many criticize him by saying that he will be persecuting Muslims and that his plan of having a special Muslim…

    McCarthyism is alive and well in today’s society. Today, Americans are observing Donald Trump exploits fears of terrorism using McCarthy’s rulebook and, going beyond McCarthy’s approach and sleaziness. McCarthy especially treated anyone who was not “with him” as an enemy, showing them total arrogance and showering them with insults. Sounding familiar, Trump has repeatedly done the same. Trump has fired eleven people for not being with him in less than two hundred days. Trump Insults competitors and disgracing them with names. Trump attacks Mexicans, stereotyping those who immigrate to the United States as “sex offenders and felons.” When in fact most Mexicans are just trying to make a living doing jobs that most Americans would not do. Like McCarthy, no one is too powerful to escape Trump’s venom such as his attack on the Muslim parents of deceased American Army hero Captain Humayun Khan, go well beyond McCarthy at his…

    How can we fix our neighbors’ problems when we ourselves do not have our own house straight? To Trump, we must become a role model, to become a shining beacon, for the rest of the world. However, it is a mistake to assume that we can resolve our civil issues before conditions in other nations deteriorate beyond repair. The story of the US is a story of constant strive toward the riddance of the ever present civil injustices. Starting with our revolution for independence, followed by the eventually abolition of slavery, then the civil rights movement in the mid-twentieth century and the current contention with the police force, new problems have always sprouted from the cracked pavement of our society. Yet, during that time, the US was able to fight off the oppressive forces of Hitler’s Germany and USSR’s communism. And whether we agree with the outcomes or not, the US was successful in getting its way by overthrowing Saddam Hussein in an effort to spread democracy or find the WMD. From these events, we see that the US is a fully capable “lecturer” despite being handicapped by national issues. Turning to an isolationist approach would have unforeseen impacts as we loosen the pressure on more volatile nations to respect civil liberties and human rights…

    Joseph Mccarthy Corruption

    Joseph McCarthy and Donald Trump are two demagogues who have inflicted fear upon Americans as a way to consolidate their own political power. A Junior Senator from Wisconsin in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Joseph McCarthy, intuitively understood that Americans tend to fear what they don’t understand. They fear those who don’t look familiar. They fear the unknown. During the Cold War he exploited American’s fear of Communism in order to create a cult-like following. Sadly, seventy years later, the U.S. is once again being governed by those same fears with the election of President Donald Trump. Rather than invoking the evils of Communism, Trump preys on Americans’ fear of Muslims, Mexicans and any other immigrant group who, like…

    During Donald Trump presidential campaign, he has insulted Latinos, Muslims, women, and people-of-color. He was also caught bragging about sexual assault and mocked a disabled reporter. But Trump shockingly won the presidency. He won states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, which had been a Democratic stronghold. Donald Trump beliefs are absurd and the exact opposite of what is the Statue of Liberty.…

    Tension among white Americans and immigrants has always been evident, however, the nationalistic standpoint on this issue has become increasingly vocal since the recent election. Nationalistic political actions, specifically the increase of deportation, forces America to take a step back from the modern world, which will subsequently deplete them. Recently, U.S. president, Donald Trump announced that the administration would be ending DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, created by the former president, Barak Obama (Kopan 2017). Mixed responses were received following the announcement; 71% of Republicans who support Trump believed it to be just while the rest were against so (Kurtzleben 2017). Hobsbawm (1992: 170) commented that nationalism…

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” When Donald Trump began his presidential campaign with this racist statement about Mexican immigrants, it was evident that his campaign would be focused on demonizing and stereotyping those who were not white, male and Christian. Despite this, Donald Trump was still elected President, primarily due to the support of white Americans in areas like western Wisconsin, northern Michigan, and western Pennsylvania. Based on his attitude toward racial relations throughout his campaign, it is clear that racial relations will be negatively impacted as a result of his presidency. Particularly, Donald Trump’s support of discriminatory and unconstitutional stop and frisk policies as well as his nomination of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who is explicitly racist, as US Attorney General provide evidence that Donald Trump’s presidency will almost certainly have a negative impact on racial relations. However, people can work to mitigate this impact by calling their representatives in Congress and asking to oppose racist policies and nominations and by standing up to instances of racism that they encounter in their own lives…

    In his Republican nomination acceptance speech, Trump vowed to restore law and order. Earlier in his campaign, he denied being influenced by interests groups, earning him many supporters. However, Trump later accepted donations from lobbyists and political action committees, coming under fire recently for a donation from the GEO Group, the second biggest private prison company in the country. Although his tough-on-crime stance was thought to be a political liability during his campaign, as it challenged unprecedented bipartisan efforts for criminal justice reform in later years, Trump’s position was a windfall that ultimately appealed to a strong conservative base. Trump’s intentions for, and potential to do away with, current criminal justice reform efforts remain to be seen. Regardless, as the president he will have influence, but the power to end mass incarceration will still primarily lie with the…

    Good morning everyone today I will talk about why Donald Trump should not be elected president of the United States. I think Donald Trump will never be elected president of U.S.A as he is making all of these crazy ideas like proposing to build a wall between Mexico and America and making Mexico pay for it. He also always thinks he is correct and has a hard time admitting that he is wrong. He plans to ban all Muslims until he knows what is going on and better security precautions are made.…
