The Donald Trump Campaign

Decent Essays
As 2016 presidential election approaches, people start to consider who they want as 45th president. During republican party presidential primaries, a candidate differentiates itself from other with his atypical personalities. Although Donald Trump is far from being the most liked republican, he is actually at the top of the primaries with 185 more delegates than the second, Ted Cruz. The chance he has to accede the second round are definitely high. Ted Cruz needs 693 delegates (90%) of the 769 remaining to beat Donald Trump, that is going to be hard to achieve. Donald Trump campaign is based on creating terror. He took advantages of many events that happened around the world to praise racism.

The University Trump created “Trump University” was defrauded students, which is paradoxical for someone who is blaming the US government of taking advantages of students loans. Trump was promising students something that they did not receive. They did not receive a degree; it is not an accredited college; the goal was only to scam students out of money. According the New York attorney General Eric Schneiderman it was essentially an elaborate “bait-and-switch” and “Trump appeared in advertisements making false promises that persuaded more than 5,000 people around the country, including 600 New Yorkers, to spend tens of thousands of dollars they couldn’t afford for lessons they never got”. The idea of defraud was clearly set up. The playbook prepared for Trump University seminar demands a “minimum sales goal” of $72,500 per seminar (The Atlantic). In other words, 20% of attendees has to sign up for a 3-days seminar of $1,495. In fact, Trump University was not a University, and even if he has now changed the name to “Trump Entrepreneur Initiative” he does not excuse the fact that it was illegal and he does not know …show more content…
People have been able to notice that during his speeches, he has shown many times some racist and sexist tendencies. Trump wants to build a wall to avoid Mexican immigrations and makes Mexico pays for it. Hispanics is the second most important minority in US (17.4%), behind the white, and it is about to grow in the future year (28.6% in 2060). He wants to be elected having an important minority against him. Hispanic is not the only minority that contest him, African Americans are also against him. Trump refused to disavow David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, and this one did not hesitate to support him publicly. Many controversial statement make the doubt that Trump is racist became a certainty. During

    In Michael Moore’s film, “Where to Invade Next?”, he addresses a main issue of America not offering free college. Moore says that, “Slovenia is one of dozens of countries where it is essentially free to go to a university” and many of these universities will allow, “Any American student to come here and go to a university for free.” Although Moore portrays free college to be something that is easy to convert to, he lacks to inform viewers where all the funding comes from as well as how long this process takes to expand colleges and how class sizes were affected. In the film, Meghan Smith comments, “In the United states, education is a business. They’re corporations making money,” which is how other countries see the American college.…

    I believe Hilary Clinton won the final presidential debate. Clinton’s performance was more persuasive than Trump’s because she spoke with sophistication and intelligences. This country can go in two directions. The first way is up, with Clintons ideas and views I believe our country can become great and everything from trade to economy can thrive. The second way is down, with Trumps and his ideas to build a wall to keep immigrants out and his lack of commence sense and human decency.…

    Donald Trump was an unexpected runner for this year’s presidential election. At first, many people thought his running for the presidency was a joke. Unfortunately, as time went on, what many thought to be a joke suddenly became more serious as more and more people began to show him support and he shows no sign of dropping out anytime soon. Which is unfortunate since much of what he says is far from being presidential, let alone professional. From what I’ve seen of his speeches and debates, he often makes terrible statements about other candidates as well as other groups of people, building off of peoples hate to rally more support.…

    He has said many racial slurs. In one of Donald Trumps many speeches he had said, “sending people that have lots of problems” to America including rapists,drug runners and other crimminals. Donald Trump was implying that all Mexicans were just trouble makers.

    In College Inc., Frontline presents an informative, surprising, yet at times tedious documentary. The documentary provides the background in for-profit schools, while interweaving Michael Clifford’s motives towards reforming, and helping other for-profit schools maintain a sustainable income to succeed. College Inc. conveys information regarding their enrollment tactics, their unfulfilled promises of training, and the debt that accumulates with enrolling in these schools. Frontline successfully depicts the deceiving aspects about for-profit schools, and how their motives revolve around collecting the most money sufficiently. The personal experiences of people who were enrolled in for-profit schools are engaging, and allow the audience to understand…

    In his book “Listen Liberal or Whatever Happened to the Party of the People” Thomas Frank explores the last century of the Democratic Party in America. Being a liberal himself, Frank gives an insider view to the democratic party and its failures. I commend him for tackling this feat because most people would not be able to do the same about their respective party. I agree with a lot of things that have been brought to light in this book, such as the abandonment of the blue collar middle class for the white collar “professional class”, that the Democratic Party does not practice what it preaches , and that the leadership of the Democratic Party is not bothered by inequality as much as they project to be . These are all things that the Republican…

    Domestic tranquility in the United States is outlined by the Constitution and can be better understood as the way in which society lives in harmony (Wilson). Unfortunately, society has not reached a state of tranquility yet. This can be traced to ideas of racism, sexism, and other means of discrimination in the United States. Although some strides have been made to try and counteract these modes of discrimination, society has recently taken a step back in its development towards a tranquil state. Specifically, the rhetoric used by Donald Trump has been linked to ideas of racism and sexism.…

    I consider myself well-informed on many current issues, but this article exposed me to the problems concerning higher education in America. Beha makes his claim about the unacceptable nature of for-profit schools to then show the direct effect it has on the mentality of higher education. Then, he uses this to reveal a logical solution supported by facts and personal experiences. Without his encounter with Phoenix University, he could not have made his claim about the push for degrees effectively. The way Christopher Beha seamlessly connects two troubling issues in America is very effective.…
