This republican candidate is now in the top of the polls using his dominant personality and strong views. Donald Trump has six main positions for his 2016 presidential campaign. Three positions that seem to be the main focus are Immigration Reform, Second Amendment Rights, and Veteran’s Administration Reform.
Donald Trump’s immigration reform is a topic that gets brought up almost anytime his name is spoken. His main statement is, “A nation without borders is not a nation” (Trump 1), which is followed by the mentioning of a wall across the border between the United States and Mexico. Since

Trump believes that many times veterans are dying simply because the care they needed was either unavailable or did not arrive soon enough. “Over 300,000 veterans died waiting for care [this year]” (Trump 1). If elected as the new President, Donald Trump wants to make sure that every veteran will have access to the best care possible. He also wants to give these veterans options and stated, “No more long drives. No more waiting for backlogs. Just the care and support they earned with their service to our country” (Trump 3). With this new plan, Trump wants to make sure that veterans with PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, get the help they need as well. PTSD is a serious factor when coming back from the war. It is documented that, “About 6 of every 10 (or 60%) of men and 5 of every 10 (or 50%) of women experience at least one trauma in their lives” (Kessler 1). With the rise of female veterans, Trump wants to show support by supplying these women with the right care. All VA hospitals will have an OBGYN as well as other health services. With Donald Trump’s new plan on the rise any veteran will be able to go into any hospital that accepts medicate and get the care they need

    After the wait-time scandal at the Arizona VA in 2014, the President Obama signed the law, the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-146, “VACAA”) in order to improve access to health care for the Veterans in a timely manner with great bipartisan support (Branchely, 2014). This bill includes several initiatives to improve the current standards of care and decrease wait times. In order to urgently address the situation, the law recommends hiring more resources, introducing ways to promote timely care for Veterans, and increasing accountability.

    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!…

    Although Congress was specific in outlining how Vet Centers should function and made funding available for the process, many challenges were experienced during the first few years, ranging from misunderstanding and confusion to misappropriation of funds and assigning Vet Centers to VA Mental Health, which was created stigma due to the sharing of information with the greater VA (Blank, 2016). Since its inception, the Vet Center has overcome hurdles, but ultimately, flourished in providing quality mental health services, military sexual trauma counseling, and bereavement services to family members who were killed during active duty (Blank, 2016). The National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 extended the eligibility for VA readjustment…

    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…

    Veterans deserve health care before their condition over take them, but as you will see they are simply not being treated in such a way, as Wyatt Andrews, a reporter with CBS, reveals, in July of 2014 “46,000” veterans “has to wait at least 90 days”. Even though that number is on a downward trend the problem is still fairly prominent, and as previously stated, veterans are dying on waiting, and some are not being reported. Sharon Helman (one of the recipients of the bonuses previously mentioned) had “18 patients die while on secret lists” and despite this finding Helman’s boss Susan Bowers received a bonus (Andrews). Also, the VA must cease its funding waste, as McDonald, Secretary of the Office of Public Affairs, revealed the “the U.S. House has proposed cutting the VA budget by $1.4 billion,” which could pose a issue if the VA does stop become more responsible with their funding…

    The fact that our veteran is disabled enough to need to receive a check and yet received less than enough to go to grocery store to feed his family of five is sickening. Someone who went on multiple tours in the Afghanistan war should not have to call and as Lamie described it “beg — I don’t mean ask nicely, I mean beg” to get the compensation that was promised if there were injuries resulting in the time that he served. 1 million claims were backlogged at the VA in 2010. 1 million veterans from multiple wars were still struggling to get the compensation and care that they deserve to receive. While five years have passed since these incidents, which most of the backlogging seems to have been taken care of, the incidents have led to many veterans not trusting, understandingly so, the VA for the support that it should, and is now working very hard to give them.…

    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.…

    Veterans are not getting the care that they need. To begin, veterans in cities have to wait a long period of time to get the appointment that they need.

    Because of the lack in providing timely care by the VA system, many veterans with mental issues, physical problems and substance abuse found themselves with nowhere to turn and would eventually end up homeless. The White House and the VA implemented a plan in 2010 that would work towards ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. “We’re not going to rest until every Veteran who has fought for America has a home in America.” — Present Barack Obama, August 2014. In order for this plan to be successful the veterans would need better access to healthcare, job training and other services to help gain better independence.…

    The United States of America is having a presidential election on the 8th of November. The two candidates running for office are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is from the Republican Party and Hillary Clinton is from the Democratic Party. I am a little wary of who I want to vote for because Hillary has political background but she is involved in a lot of drama and Donald Trump does not have political background and he is self-sabotaging. I definitely do not want Donald Trump to become President he will become the greatest embarrassment to the country.…
