President Pros And Cons

Improved Essays
1. All six topics were equally important, which made it difficult to single out one most important. After hearing the debate from both presidential candidates, Mrs. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Donald Trump, I have decided the fitness to be a president would be the most important topic. To my belief, the president of the United States is a representative for the nation’s people. The president also greatly influences the other five topics that will greatly affect the people. The president’s actions reflect on what kind of nation the United States would become. Therefore, the characteristics of a presidential candidate would be most important.

During the debate on this topic, Mr. Trump did poorly compare to Mrs. Clinton. He lacks the many virtues that she has. For instance, the first question regarding the recently leaked video of his

I would feel hopeful for our nation’s future if Mrs. Clinton wins. In addition to her thirty years of experience and her intention to fight for the people, Mrs. Clinton has shown that she’s more fit to be the president than Mr. Trump. One of her goals as a president is to make schools and college free for all poor and middle-class people. As seen throughout history, knowledge is a powerful tool. Therefore, it will help our nation grow if everyone can equip this powerful tool.
Whereas if Mr. Trump wins, I would feel fearful for the future of our nation. Not only he lacks the experience, he is an egocentric (not a characteristic for a leader) and a “spoiled brat” as it has shown during the fitness to be the president topic. A subtle example would be when he answered the question regarding choosing the supreme court, he spent the first quarter of his two-minute limit speaking about judge apologized to him. He also claimed that no one has more respect for women than he does even though his outrageous comments upset women everywhere. When he refused to concede to the outcome, the will of the people, he was showing the act of a

    The Pros of a Donald Trump Presidency American politics have always fascinated me. Where else can you find a medium that discusses some of the world's most pressing issues, while at the same time giving you an opportunity to analyze American behavior as it unfolds upon a political system that has influenced many other countries, including the Dominican Republic. But let’s be honest, politics can also be very dull, with its insipid candidates, anticlimactic voting system, and laws worded in such a way that would confuse even Joyce. Thank god for Donald Trump!…

    Being the President of the United States of America is one of the roughest job someone can have. As we all know, the president is Chief of State, Chief executive, Chief-diplomat, Commander in chief, chief legislator, Chief of Party, and Chief Guardian of the economy. When presidents are first elected, many of them seem to have extraordinary approval ratings. However, many of those same presidents with high approval ratings seem especially to second term disappointments. In other words, these presidents suffer from a deadly disease many call the second-term curse.…

    The president is still a person, just like the rest of the population. They have needs, wants, and beliefs that drive their entire existence. Understanding how a candidate thinks and what they believe is important can help a voter predict how their term would potentially go and decide if it would be beneficial for the nation. Just like everyone else in the world, a presidential candidate has grown up and developed their own views on how the world works. These ideas they have built inside of their minds contribute to how they will try and improve the country during their time in office.…

    When people began judging president Trump for the idea of a ban on Muslims entering the United States, he quoted as a relevant historical event, World War II and the proclamations issued by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt empowering the authorities to send away Japanese, German and Italian immigrants. In 1942, Roosevelt delivered an executive order that sent Japanese-Americans, many of them families that had been settled in the United States for generations, they were sent to so-called internment camps established along the West Coast. Trump described Roosevelt's policies as "far worse," but history experts have suggested the former president's wartime decisions weren't a good example for Trump to use at all. While Americans initially…

    NYT: The article summarizing what the President said. It doesn’t lean towards any side or attempt to credit or discredit him. It does talk about everything Obama has done over the years such as raising creating Obama care and raising the minimum wage. I suppose in a way they did lean towards saying he was a good president.…

    The 2016 election surprised everyone with the success of Donald Trump and Mike Pence as Vice/President of the United States. This will result in a “full-blown assault on LGBTQ rights (Signorile)” that many younger LGBT community members have no experienced. Despite what Trump may say, he is no friend of the gay and lesbian community. His running mate, Mike Pence, is even worse. People have claimed that “the vice president… would really be the “CEO” - or, the president of the company - while Trump would be more like the “chairman of the board (Signorile).”…

    The Presidency has several ways of bypassing Congress that are upheld by courts to certain extents. For over 70 years the US presidents have repeatedly used these methods to put forward agreements that benefit the country and have less chance to get done if done with the Senate’s approval mainly because of the collective action problems Congress, especially the Senate, faces. In 2015, the current President, Barack Obama, signed the Paris Agreement on climate change that requires countries to reduce carbon emissions with the purpose of increasing the global temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius. In addition, countries must report and prove this progress with actual numbers. Climate change has always been a very controversial argument especially…

    Trump, you have no right to be in the White House. You have no right to be called Commander-in-Chief. You have no right to run the top Country in the world.

    In the second presidential debate, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump quarrel over who is modeling the most appropriate and positive behavior for today’s youth. Hillary believes that she is most suitable representative for America because she believes in diversity and unification, which is what will make America a strong country. Clinton effectively establishes her credibility as a presidential candidate by appealing to the emotions of the voters through the use of repetition, process analysis, and emphasizing on Trump’s flaws to prove she is the most credible candidate. Sited in the text of this debate, Hillary Clinton uses a credible tactic, through the use of process analysis, to show that she has an exceptional plan for the United States if she is elected president. In her first argument she says, “-and I’ve set forth some big goals, getting the economy to work for everyone, not just those at the top, making sure that we have the best education system from preschool through college and making it affordable, and so much…

    The Trump administration has been a topic of much heated debate the past couple of months which makes it a difficult subject to talk about because it is not simply a black and white answer, there are many shades of grey mixed in. Our constitution protects against authoritarianism by putting into place the three branches of government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial, to keep each other in check. When one power is becoming too great the other branches are there to combat it with checks and balances. James Madison states in the Federalist Papers, “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced…

    The candidates of this election cycle have strong, differing opinions. Many American citizens believe that in this election, they have to choose between the lesser of two evils.

Based on all of our candidates’ opinions on the situations, Donald Trump would be the ideal person to be the president of the United States (U.S.) for the next four years.…
