Donald Trump is not only a harmful aspect to our country, but also some of the freedoms and options we have available to us a citizens here in America. Trump characterizes the Mexicans in our midst as criminals, even though the data shows and proves their crime rate is lower than that of our native-born population. This is all led to be false not only from the data proving this aspect of his thoughts wrong, but why would someone who is here illegally cause problems that could result in them being returned back to their country. Here in America they are given a job to work to create an income that they are able to send home to help feed their families. Also stating that in one of his powerful speeches the Hispanics “love” him; but polls show the opposite. All specifically because he wants to send those who aren’t born here in America back to eliminate those from coming into the country illegally, but doing so it’s not going to change what is occurring. Trump has this motive in himself that makes himself feel as if he is loved by all voters, but truly has an aspect inside of him that draws voters away from him in dramatic ways. For me the factor of changing his position in certain subjects creates a part inside of me that dislikes the ways in which Trump proceeds to take subjects into certain ways. Donald Trump running for presidency here in America has many with high expectations of him where other feel there is nothing going to be accomplish from this man if elected into office. Trump faces the factor in which he is different than those who are his opponents in the presidential race where he says what he thinks, and he means what he says. But falling in certain aspect in some having different feelings towards his position in presidency here in

    The general argument made by author Michael Finnegan in his work, Republican Party disruption in Trump’s Nevada victory”, is that Donald Trump persuades his audience with his speeches and the cruel words he uses to get voters to vote for him in order to become President of the United States. More specifically, Finnegan argues that Trump has the necessary power to become the ruler of the United States. He writes quotes Trump when he stated, “We might not even need the two months, folks, to be honest.” This line reveal the confidence that Trump has for himself for winning the elections and Finnegan agrees with him when he stated “Trump might be right.”…

    I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook — whatever I could do to try to stop a really bad person from wrecking the Republican Party and damaging the nation. NeverTrump was my obsession, but it was, at that time, merely political for me.…

    As a Republican candidate running for president, Trump thinks the immigrants are rapists, criminals, and drug dealers. Trump is bias towards the immigrants because he anticipates that the immigrants commit the majority of the crime and violence in America. From a moral standpoint, I believe Trumps immigration plan is unfair because it asserts certain groups of people to be different than the others. Although I am a U.S. citizen, my parents came from a different country. Consequently, Trump 's plan will deport my family, and my friends, and possibly your family and friends too.…

    Trump believes that illegal immigration is destroying U.S. taxpayers, and he believes that neither Republicans nor Democrats are helping the situation. Republicans don’t do anything about illegal immigration because some of their business supporters want cheap labor. Democrats look at illegal immigrants as potential Democratic voters (135-136). Both Democrats and Republicans may have their reasons for illegal immigrants to stay, but Donald Trump thinks that the parties need to put America’s interests first and that illegal immigrants need to return from whence they came. Trump then continues to discuss that illegal immigrants are by definition, lawbreakers, and refers to them as “illegal aliens” due to the fact that illegal immigrants are often members or violent gangs.…

    The most interesting detail I learned from the books is that a candidate being able to connect with voters is one of the most important things a candidate must do to win the presidency. It can be seen in the 1992 election as Clinton was able to connect with people and make them believe that change was possible. Bush in this election was unable to connect and so even though he was president when the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union fell, he was unable to win the presidency. I believe this connects quite perfectly with the current election. Donald Trump was able to maybe not necessarily connect with voters, but he able to connect more than Hillary Clinton was able to.…

    Trump markets himself as a businessman and not a politician; in his campaign announcement speech Trumps keeps referring to himself as the “right guy,” the guy who is going to make America great again. Trumps wants to instill and, more importantly, bring out the skepticism in the public; he claims that America has been brought to near ruin because of the incompetence of America’s current leaders. He attacks and belittles politicians as seen in his speech when, after discussing America’s debt to China,”How stupid are our leaders? How stupid are these politicians to allow this to happen?”(Trump, Donald. “Our Country Needs a Truly Great Leader”Trump Tower, New York City.…

    This shows the purpose of Trump’s side of the argument, which is that he wants to improve America by reducing illegal immigration rates by having a permanent border wall and increase fees on all border crossings. Following up on his belief, Trump wants to construct the new immigration policy that will, in his opinion, return the safety of laws for the American people. The immigration policy also proposes the mandatory return of all criminal aliens currently subsiding in the United States. Trump recognized the Obama Administration for releasing 76,000 aliens from custody of committing criminal convictions since 2013, but still wants to continue on that action by having all criminal aliens to be deported to their home countries by cancelling visas and adding an additional committed crime to being in a country illegally (Trump 3). This further contributes to Trump’s purpose to reduce illegal immigration in the United States and putting all American citizens as a priority in this country.…

    Suburban Warriors Summary

    Lisa McGirr’s book Suburban Warriors: The origins of the New American Right, published in 2001, examines the history of the conservative grassroots movement in Orange County, California during the 1960s and 1970s. With a “bottom up” lens, McGirr focused on ordinary people behind the grass-roots conservatism rather than the intellectual and political leaders. Historian Richard Hofstadter believed right-wing activists acted purely on their “psychological distress” rather than being motivated by a set of beliefs or “rational politics” (7). In response, McGirr argues that the ordinary people who created conservative grassroots were usually already involved with modernity. Many of them were mobile migrants who welcomed entrepreneurialism and already…

    Even though we are willing to help, we should be stricter about the immigrants that are in this country, and Donald Trump has good ideas to do that. To improve America, Trump’s scare tactics will bring people from different parties and areas of the country to vote for him in this upcoming election. He uses the fears of illegal immigration and terrorism as means of getting people to go vote for him. This election will come down to who can keep U.S. citizens safe, and Trump brings that sense of security to the…

    As President, Donald Trump is more of a transformational leader than a transactional leader. He inspires and connects with Americans, he is more concerned with the wealth and safety of America, as a whole, than he is with his own wealth. According to “Town Hall”, Trump broke the record for the most votes for a republican in his 2016 election victory. (Barkoukis) He inspired Americans on his prolific campaign trail through the United States and motivated people to get out and vote.…
