Donald Trump took office on Jan 20, 2017 in Washington D.C.. He won the presidential race against Hillary Clinton. Trump got 304 electoral votes compared to Clinton's 227. Many look at these numbers and think how does a nonpolitical businessman, beat a lifelong politician in a presidential race. Trump won the presidency based on his viewpoints on American jobs, Border security, His connection to the working class, and the corruptness of his opponent. Many refer to this election not as Republican…

One of the most consequential players in the 2016 presidential election was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook. His egregious mismanagement was a key reason for the campaign’s failure, and consequently why Donald Trump is sitting in the Oval Office. If I could be any person who has been active in politics, I would choose Mook so I could correct his mistakes and set the country on a different path than that which we now find ourselves on. The human aspect of an American election cannot…

Donald Trump has many voters believing that Immigration should be stopped and that we need more borders! He describes his plan that consists of building a wall to stop Mexican immigration, but that they will pay for the wall. He says, “I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me —and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.” But, how will this work?…

Republican nominee (Donald J. Trump), running for U.S presidency thought it was a terrific idea to meet with the Mexican president to discuss an important issue.

Trump tries to convince Mexican president (Enrique Peña Nieto) to pay for a Wall, which is intended to control and regulate illegal immigration. Unfortunately, President Nieto refused, however Donald Trump still states the president agreed to pay for the Wall. There is…

The immigration policy of your candidate Donald Trump is rooted in the idea that illegal immigrants are people who are taking our jobs, committing crimes, and bringing in illegal contraband, like drugs. He calls for the complete ejection of all illegals in our country, and the creation of “an impenetrable physical wall on the southern border”. Trump plans to force Mexico to pay for a wall that will return the illegal immigrants that Trump doesn't want. If Trump doesn't want them, why would…

Is Donald Trump a real politician? Many people would argue over what the true answer is to this question since there are so many definitions of the word “politician”. To clear the fog over this question, this essay is going to discuss the term politician by explaining what a politician is and isn’t through comparing the 2017 main party presidential candidates since the 2017 presidential election is one of the best examples of competition between a professional politician and a powerful…

Donald Trump. Billionaire. Provocateur. Second coming of Christ or, even better, Ronald Reagan. Those are just a few of the titles Mr. Trump has been hailed by his supporters as he seeks to make his way to the helm of the great ship of America, and guide her off the path of the stormy seas of globalist socialism. But Mr. Trump doesn't see himself as this messiah, he sees himself as just a simple man, a good old fashioned American, with those steadfast values and rock solid faith that can bring…

Our military is made of volunteers from all states. It is made up of people from different creeds and races. It made up of people with different genders, and it is made up of people with different ideals but each with one goal in mind. To protect their country and its people. With a military as diverse as ours you would think that transgender people would have a place in our military along with everyone else, yet they aren’t allowed to serve according to our president. On July 26th Trump…

Donald Trump's inauguration speech is riddled with many rhetorical devices which color his speech as, for lack of a better phrase, villains speech in the batman movie. “We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you – the people.”(Bane) if this sound eerily familiar it's because it is “Today we are not merely transferring power from one administration or another ... we are transferring power…

As can be seen both in literature and in life, Humans naturally gravitate towards lies that are convenient to whatever narrative they want to believe. Contemporarily, Facebook has faced accusations of creating “information bubbles” which surround people with content that reinforces their political opinions. These “information bubbles” facilitated the proliferation of fake news and strongly influenced the outcome of the 2016 election. Shakespeare’s Othello uses characters to illustrate the…
