Donald Trump's Personality
Donald Trump — he’s currently the hottest topic of discussion in American politics. Trump is gaining popularity as a presidential candidate, and is consistently performing well in polls.

The question is, why do so many people view Trump as a solid candidate to lead the Republican Party and the United States? With a strong sense of patriotism, Trump asserts his ideas confidently and honestly. He isn’t afraid to speak out, regardless of how outrageous his opinions are. Trump’s transparency makes him seem like an open book, whereas people are still skeptical about what other candidates say. In the eyes of American citizens, Trump’s personality is representative of the ideal American.

The Americans want change, but is Donald Trump a change for the better? Trump’s views are so radical and absurd, it is comical. His stance on the Syrian refugees is disheartening: comparing the acceptance of refugees to a Trojan horse — suggesting that harmless refugees coming to America could be a terrorist plot involving ISIS — is

The president of the United States is the most important representative of the country, and Donald Trump is the last person I would choose to represent any country. Of course, some voters have already realized how crazy the idea of having Trump as president is. Others believe that having Trump elected could reveal the flaws in the American system of government, and reveal the true corruption hidden inside of it; instead of abstaining, perhaps it would be better to have the government crash and burn to prove a point. However, these voters underestimate the impact of the government on a country — they are asking for a big collapse in the government, which could lead to ruined public affairs or a crashing economy. These fantasies of instantaneous political reform are just as far-fetched as Trump’s own plans for the future, and these fanatical American citizens must realize

    The election had surprises for both sides. On the Republican side most people were surprised Donald Trump was elected Republican Nominee. On the Democratic side, everyone was surprised on how long it took for Hillary Clinton to beat the unknown senator Bernie Sanders. These two are the exact opposites. Trump believes that we should build a wall between Mexico and the United States, and Mexico will pay the bill. He also says that he will temporarily ban Muslim immigrants from certain countries. Clinton, on the other hand,…

    In“Trump’s Bluster Is Heard Around the World,” an article published on Yahoo! Politics by Gregory Katz, sarcastic tone and vivid descriptions portray Donald Trump as a selfish human being to manipulate readers he will not be a good president. Katz’s sarcastic and criticizing tone adds to the negative view of Trump presented in this article;“His is clearly a recognized name worldwide, which is not to say it's a beloved one.” Katz then proves this point by quoting individuals from around the world. In the first description of Trump, a woman who lives next to a Trump resort calls Trump a spoiled “strange fish.” She then describes his toddler-like tantrums, causing an image of diaper wearing Trump whining and flopping for what he wants to pop into our heads. Katz’s next proof is a video of Mexican comedians dressed as Donald Trump performing an act written from his statements. The comedians are all wearing fake guts, Neanderthal clothing, and blonde wigs. Katz writes, “It's striking how many people know of him at all,” as if Trump is some new American celebrity who is just now getting attention for his statements. It is almost impossible to not recognize the Trump name. His name is on everything he owns, and he owns buildings, programs, and boats worldwide. Trump had been known by the world way before he decided to run for president. To end the article and finish his characterization of Trump, Katz writes,“That would be one side of Trump that few if any have seen — one who says ‘sorry’.” Like Buzzfeed and Alphacat, Katz includes mockery of Trump so viewers will chuckle at their possible leader. This humor alongside Katz’s sarcastic and condescending tone alarm readers that Trump is well known, not well…

    Donald John Trump is a business later reality television star and now US presidential candidate. We've all heard it before. But what really stands out to make The real estate mogul different from the presidents in history? Throughout his campaign he has produced a straightforward rhetoric often viewed as offensive and laid a platform where minorities may feel threatened. He has appealed vastly to the Common Man by making promises to bring back jobs shipped off to other countries and to cut business regulations. He's promised to build walls and to lay down strict immigration policies. Much of this appeals to the common working class person, who feels like the Obama Administration in particular did not have their back. However, Trump is one…

    The role of a presidential candidate since Washington has been seen as one that can only be fulfilled by those with a strong yet graceful sense of leadership. Current President Donald Trump has quickly risen through the ranks of politics and straight into the white house. With no political background experience, one would think that this candidate came to office by possessing those same active positive characteristics as our first president. However, Trumps character can be seen as compulsive, aggressive and power driven. These characteristics have placed President Trump in the active negative category which I will explain through direct examples.…

    This article implies that all politicians are corrupt because they do not represent the people, and that they only represent themselves. The author goes as far to state that America’s political system is so corrupt, that an entire new political system should be created to avoid tyranny. The fact that modern day politicians are self-serving is tyrannical, and ultimately unconstitutional.…

    Donald Trump. He is the anomaly in politics, the one who doesn’t play the game by its rules. During the recent presidential race, Donald Trump has expressedhad extremely strong feelings pertaining to immigration, refugees, and foreign policy, stating, “How stupid are they to allow this to happen? ... Here in Minnesota, you’ve seen first-hand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support or approval, and with some of them then joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world." (INSERT CITATION HERE) Following During the first couple days of his presidency, Donald Trump has made executive rulings…

    “Just How Stupid Are We? Facing the Truth about the American Voter,” by Rick Shenkman is a book with an eye opening experience. It was one of the best-selling books on the market in 2008 for a different look into the political issues. By Shenkman asking such a forward provoking question, it automatically catches the reader’s attention. It has you go through an immense variety of approaches and opinions. According to Shenkman, Democrats and Republicans point fingers on who’s to blame for the 2008 presidential elections. Most people think it all had to do with the “bad Bush years” in administration, but Shenkman is convinced that it is “too easy to blame our mess on Mr. Bush” (Shenkman xi). Shenkman is questioning the American voter directly; he believes that we The People should be questioned for the root of the problem. Shenkman’s explains that he has five characteristics of stupidity, but the most important are; ignorance, negligence, and how the American voter depends on myths. (Shenkman 14).…

    John Kasich has been in the business of politics for a while; in fact back in 2000 he ran for presidency but ultimately dropped out rather quickly and endorsed bush instead. Straight out of High School or during his freshman year in college, he wrote a letter to Nixon (the current president), where an invitation to the White house to meet with the president was granted. With the combination of his background and the promising future he has with his positions on the current issues in the United States, John Kasich may be considered one of the most qualified candidates but one of the most underrated.…

    His less controversial positions, which I haven’t mentioned here (such as Tax Reform and replacing Obamacare with an alternative system (Frum, 2016)) may improve America slightly, but if Trump’s main policies that I have written about are passed through Congress, America will be placed in a worse social, political and economic position compared to right now. For a presidential nominee that has made comments inciting violence against Hillary Clinton (Luhby & Sciutto, 2016), Donald Trump does not seem like that he will ‘Make America Great’. If Trump does become the next President of the United States of America, many of his own policies are not likely to be passed through Congress (especially the trade tariff for Chinese exports). Overall, America is already quite great, and Trump and his controversial policies stand in the way of America becoming…
