The American Presidency is a puzzling aspect to most Americans. There is a lot of debate about the system's strengths and weaknesses. I would like to offer a broad concept of the American constitutional system, which are the executive, legislative and judicial branches. To begin to grasp the constitutional system, I would like to discuss why the forefathers composed it this way. The forefathers chose a mixed government that represented three existing forms of government: a monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. The president would represent the elected monarchy, the Senate would represent the aristocracy, and the House of Representatives would represent the democracy. The American presidency has a great deal of strength and weakness, which I will discuss in this paper.…
Reagan was born on February 6, 1911 in Tampico, Illinois. Ronald Wilson Reagan was the second child of John Reagan, who was a shoe salesman, and Nelle Reagan. Ronald Reagans family lived in poverty throughout his childhood. This was as a result of John Reagans struggle with alcoholism. His family was always on the move. For several years they moved from town to town in search of a permanent settlement. His family finally settled in Dixon, Illinois; where Reagan describes his childhood as the happiest period of his life.…
Firstly a great President must be viewed as person who has achieved success in the office they hold. That includes effective implementation of policies which are clearly expressed prior to election and that are in the interests of the people who elected them. This is the very foundation of Democracy within the United States and was defined by Abraham Lincoln as “government of the people, by the people, for the people”.…

Donald J. Trump is widely known around the nation for being one of the most successful business men in the entire country but more commonly known for being the 45th president of the United States. But Trump did not get to these positions of wealth and power on his own for he had much help with extraordinary opportunities to help lead him to his success in the business world and the political world.…

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…
In linguistic terms, "bling" is an ideophone (a sound intended to evoke an idea)—it is not onomatopoeia, because the act of jewelry shining does not make a sound. The form "bling-bling" is a case of reduplication.…
To begin with, Donald Trump will say anything that comes to mind on Media without considering the impact on the audience or the consequences and some of his claims make no sense at all. Here are a few examples, "Remember 'environment friendly' light bulbs can cause cancer" and "I beat China all the time. All the time". Donald Trump has numerous quotes that are wreck less and completely useless. He also doesn't have good communication skills to make his interviews look professional his vocabulary is basic too. Another example is when he said "It has not been easy for me my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.", now for a lot of people a million dollars is a…
2300 years ago, Aristotle wrote about the importance of character to persuade in his book Rhetoric, writing, “We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided” (181-182). This has been proven true since then, particularly in politics, where certainty is impossible and opinions are extremely divided. This importance of character in politics is demonstrated in a September 16th 2016 speech by first lady Michelle Obama where she endorses Hillary Clinton for president and condemns Donald Trump for the same role based on their respective characters and characteristics. Obama believes this to be an effective distinguishment between effective and ineffective candidates for the position as she believes that one’s character maintains constant, saying: “the presidency doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are”.…
The type of president I would like to have is a president that is really smart and that knows what he or she is doing. He or she must be born in the United States. The president needs to know whether they are doing what is good or bad for our country. Our president must respect everybody equally. My President should not make crazy rules that is not safe for our country, the United States. The type of president I would like to have is one that is really honest and doesn't lie about what they are going to do. That is my type of president.…
President Lyndon B. Johnson and his administration passed several legislations and supported many programs that attempted to repair the numerous political, economic, and social problems of the United States during the 1960s. His administration responded to most of the problems effectively, but with the issue of civil rights, for example, they didn’t always fix the problems to the best of their ability. But most importantly was his attack on the “war on poverty.” Acts, like the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, assisted citizens of the US through attacking the “war on poverty” and creating opportunities for the children of the future.…
