Donald Trump Persuasive Essay

Great Essays
Trump is everywhere. By simply tuning into the evening news, it is hard to miss all of the coverage surrounding Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The media is filled with stories of the crazy thing he just said, who he attacked in the latest debate, or even the satires of him all over TV and the internet. However, the media rarely shows why Trump could be an outstanding president. Although he may not be a conventional candidate and lacks a strong backing from the GOP, Trump rivals any of the other candidate with his strong stances on a variety of national issues.
To write about Trump and not address his attitude and persona would not really be writing about Trump. He has developed this idea of him being a loudmouthed and arrogant man.

In two of the most recent opportunities the candidates had to showcase themselves, Rubio stumbled by shedding light on how little of the true person we get to see. On the two occasions Rubio was asked what should have been simple questions, and initially answered with solid responses. However, when continuing the conversation, Rubio ended up repeating the same exact lines over and over again. It soon became blatantly obvious just how scripted and coached his responses were. This is mainly due to the influence the republican party , or GOP, has over its candidates. The GOP influences its candidates to say only what they tell them to, and the candidates have to follow these rules unless they want to lose the backing of the party and ultimately end their campaign. The exception though is Trump. While the other candidates are merely puppets of the GOP, Trump isn't reliant on any money or power provided by the party. Trump actually self funds his own campaign, severing any ties that would put him under the control of the GOP. With any other candidates, the voter can never be sure of who they really are voting for, but with Trump there is no question that he will be the one pulling the strings in the white …show more content…
Trump started his business career in an office he shared with his father in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. He worked there with his father for five years, where they were busy making deals together. Trump’s father Fred C. Trump often stated that “"some of my best deals were made by my son, Donald...everything he touches seems to turn to gold.”" As a student, Trump worked with his father during the summer and then joined his father's company, Elizabeth Trump & Son, after graduation from college. In 1971, Trump gained full control of his father’s company, and set out to expand his real estate empire. His name quickly became synonymous with prestige and wealth as he acquired properties like the Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower,Trump Parc, Trump Palace, The Trump World Tower, and Trump Park Avenue. He continued to develop his business and legacy for decades. That was until 1990, when the real estate market declined, reducing the value of and income from Trump's empire; his own net worth plummeted from an estimated $1.7 billion to $500 million. Like for many Americans, these times were tough for Trump, at one point he was over $900 million in debt. Despite this detriment, Trump used his exceptional business and economic skills to climb out of debt and back to $2 billion by 1997. Since then, he surpassed his previous net worth and today claims to be worth more than $10

    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.…

    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.…
