Donald Trump's Influence On Politics

Consistently throughout the current 2016 election, Donald Trump has not defied traditional public relations strategies, but he has also defied social media norms and discourse when discussing issues that he is passionate about. Not only does he attack people on social media, but he also uses personal insults to try to demean his opponents and other famous figures. Trump has consistently been known as the most outspoken candidate throughout this whole election, which is loved by some and detested by many others. He’s supposed to be not another “career politician;” however, the way that he consistently attacks people on a daily basis is just proving how not only is he extremely childish, but he is not taking current issues seriously.

I think that the way that Trump has campaigned will hurt his overall image and long term reputation. Not only has he managed to isolate and insult many demographics, but he has also burned so many bridges with current and past business partners that are practically un-repairable. I think that if Trump’s public relations team had more control over what he says and puts out on social media, we would appeal to many more demographics then he does right
