Why Is Donald Trump An Ineffective President
"Times change, and we change with them." said William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States. The inspirational quote means that change is necessary for an effective country or anything. 35 presidents later, Donald Trump is 45th United States President, who was the first to have no political or military experience. He is not changing to the times because he thinks that the world is in the past. That is because he thinks it's okay to use women as objects, as well as keeping jobs that are in the past. Trump is an ineffective president because he is not a good role model, he abuses his powers, and doesn't do the jobs that a presidents should do.

Donald J. Trump is not a good role model to Americans and the rest of the world.

In his first term he did something that few to no presidents have done before, “Jared Kushner was appointed by Trump to head several departments just because he was his son in law.” (Phillips). Jared Kushner had absolutely no political experience at all, yet he was chosen the be the head of several important departments. Trump appointed his son in law, Jared Kushner, for the following: peace in the middle east, relations with China, government reform, the opioid crisis, and more. However he should not have been able to do that because of the fact that he could get blackmailed for the information that he got. His real estate business is in debt which could be used for leverage by other countries, he has had relations with the Russians during the 2016 election, and he has had financial things across the world which foreign governments could have used to get info on the U.S. Trump was ineffective in the fact that he let someone who had a checkered past get a security clearance to deal with top secret information, and he was abusing his powers to let someone close to him get so many good jobs. Also his security clearance had been revoked because of his checkered past, so information that he had access to could have been leaked to a foreign government who wanted to blackmail him. Trump and his family have also hurt the taxpayer. Within two months of him being in the White house, he spent 1.8 million dollars a month, compared to the …show more content…
Yes, the stock market has gone up, but it is not Trumps fault. That is because the stock market has been growing steadily for years, and also had several jumps. The last few presidents saw considerable growth as well, but none saw such a drop. Every president before Trump helped the stock market grow, but in Trump era, the first year was carried over from Obama, then the DOW Jones plummeted a few thousand points. Trump was ineffective in because a few presidents before him helped the stock market out, while Trump just let it drop. When Trump took office in February, 1.7 million jobs were added. (Chu). While being true, it does not paint the full picture. However that's not true because millions of jobs have been added each year since 2010. The trend peaked in 2014 with almost 3 million new jobs and declined to 2 million in 2016. So even though jobs have been added, they haven't been as effectively as Obama since that was the most jobs added in the 2000s. Trump also has the lowest number of jobs added in the 2000’s, so he is still ineffective because he can't add more jobs than the presidents before him. Trump also wants to bring back US manufacturing jobs which is a good thing. However the type of manufacturing is not good. That is because he wants to bring back jobs like steel processing, which is

    This lying delusional unqualified individual is trying to destroy the hard- work of honorable men and women that has taken decades of blood sweat tears to accomplish. His action clearly shows that his agenda is not to make America strong again, because he wants to remove and replace or destroy the things that makes a nation honorable and strong. By trump’s own admission in his autobiography he paraphrases that he loved the words truth-stretching so much that he took them as his own. Out of his mouth comes the truth, he loves being a…

    In Charles Blow’s “Failing All Tests of the Presidency” (2017) he asserts his opinion that Trump is not acting as a true president and he is merely holding a place for an actual president to arrive and replace him. Blow communicates this by saying “Donald Trump is a man of flawed character and a moral cavity,” and “His interests center on the self; country be damned.” He exaggerates all of Trump’s flaws without regard to the truth that, maybe he has done something good while in office. He does this in attempts to force his hatred of Donald Trump onto others that might already not support him. Charles Blow employs his hatred of Trump and writes very controversial articles to everyone who is indifferent or not in support of Donald Trump.…

    Although President Bush was a very successful president in terms of foreign relations he had some struggles that really caught up to him when it was time for re-election. After his successes in the gulf war he had the second highest approval rating amongst all presidents with a rating of 89%. This is only behind his son’s 91% approval rating after the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center. It is obvious that these ratings are not directly correlated with how well the president does throughout his campaign though as George W. Bush also had the lowest rating of 17%. In the start of George H.W. Bush’s campaign he made a statement of, “read my lips, no new taxes!” Without knowing at the time, this line would bring up a whole lot of trouble for Bush.…

    It is the second presidential term ran by the “wannabe” socialist party and most the people they put in office are uneducated people who fought in the civil war. Our president is not, and does not look like the smartest guy out there, and the people he is surrounded by have done nothing good for the country. Machiavelli mentions that the “readiest conjecture we can form of the character and sagacity of a Prince, is from seeing what sort of men he has about him.” I think that if a prince has wise people working with him, he is either smart and chose them wisely, or he needs them to do the job for him, which is dangerous for the…

    Being able to make monumental changes to health care, rescuing the country from financial destruction, reducing the hostility with many countries by lessening the militaristic rhetoric, prison reform, having a Justice Department more amenable to Civil rights issues, and many more shows that he was a great leader. Juxtaposed with the overall conditions of the Black community is where he falls short, as the crime, housing unemployment, and gentrification policies have increased against Blacks. Although the official numbers of unemployment have subsided those numbers do not adequately express those who have been with jobs for extended periods that are not recognized in those…

    “Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” As playwright and poet William Shakespeare states, greatness is something that comes naturally to some, while others must put much effort in to achieve it, and others are forced into it. When examining the United States presidency, much effort must be put into identifying if a president was great and how the president rates compared to previous presidents. For example, political scientist Fred Greenstein (2005) describes six qualities that shape a president’s performance, such as emotional intelligence and political skill, and Joseph A. Pika and John Maltese (2004) add other elements, such as personal character and career, that shape a president’s performance. Besides examining the president on his personal strengths and weaknesses, Stephen Skowroneck (2003) states that it is also vital to evaluate what time period the president held office in, if the country was resilient or not at that time, and if the president supported the previous presidency. When evaluating if our current president, Barack Obama, will be remembered as a great president, using the above criteria and observation methods as well as comparing him to past presidents is vital. President Obama’s approval rating is currently 42% (Gallup.com), with citizens mostly angry about the country’s economic situation. However, with his use of new media and strong interpersonal skills, President Obama’s 2008 campaign and subsequent presidency has given Americans the most personal experience of any campaign and presidency to date. In addition, as the first African American president to hold the office, the historical significance of his presidency is enormous. Ultimately, despite the failures president Obama has experienced thus far in his presidency, President Obama’s campaign and presidency was so revolutionary that it will be remembered as great.…

    In 2004, Wilentz states, an informal survey of 415 historians found that 81% considered Bush a failure (1). Although historians tend to be more liberal than the majority another survey concludes that conservatives, as well, show unanimity about the best and worst presidents (Wilentz 1). In the Rolling Stone article, not only does Wilentz share his views on the subject but breaks it down into four categories: the credibility gap, Bush at home, Bush at war, and presidential misconduct. I believe I will do the same.…

    A fact that would refute my assertion would be Donald's Trumps recent success. Presidency is very important to most Americans, Donald Trump's unexpected success on winning the president election shows how the confidence and all the work he put into the election paid off for him. People were very surprised and some very upset at the outcome. Debates paid off for him and the actions he wants to take for America caught some people's attention. Before he had won the election, there were many bad things said about Donald but he still followed his dream of becoming the president of the United States to make America great again. Others say he shouldn't have won the election for multiple reasons such as being a disrespectful person by the comments he has made and the ways he wants to go about things for America because it makes him sound unfit for becoming president.…
