Claim Of Donald Trump

Decent Essays
Claim: Donald Trump claims that he is going to decrease taxes by 20% for families making under $60,000 a year, working mothers get paid maternity leave, and cut business taxes from 35% to 15%. Child care costs could also save $5,000 on their parents taxes.

Evidence: Tax Policy Center says that his plans for tax credits, deductions, and exemptions translates to just a 1.8% change.

Connection from evidence to claim: The assumption is that people want a change in their taxes, therefore Trump is claiming to lower taxes.

Problems: I am questioning how well he is going to go through with lowering taxes if he gets elected.

    For example, Trump refers to the Government Accountability Office to prove that there were three million arrests in the year 2011 that were attached to the alien population of America, all including murders, beatings and rapes (Trump 2). His referral to an official organization betters his background knowledge on immigration in the United States, which shows his audience that he understands what his words mean. Donald Trump also uses statistics to back up his information, such as explaining how today, nearly 40 percent of black teenagers and 30 percent of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed, which proves that America’s immigration policies have ruined the middle class, even though they are the major backbone of America itself. Opposing Trump’s speech, the New York Times article also provides strong, credible sources to provide their own…
