Donald Trump, the billionaire real-estate developer and television personality, has now added “presidential candidate” to his list of titles. Surprisingly, he is doing considerably well in the public polls. His recent popularity surge may be due to his lack of a filter, or perhaps it’s purely for the entertainment his spectacles create. Whatever the reason, I find it troubling that such a deplorable man is currently leading the GOP polls. Donald Trump would not be a suitable President of the United States due to his outspoken public prejudices against minorities and misogynistic tendencies.
On numerous occasions, Donald Trump was involved with racial discrimination. In the early 1970s, the New York Times published an article about the Department

In the first GOP debate, FOX news anchor, Megyn Kelly, questioned Trump about his crude statements towards women. Kelly stated that, Trump called women derogatory names such as, “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.” She also pressed Trump with a follow up statement “...you made disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice, ‘it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees’.” He dismissed these accusations by cracking a joke about Rosie O’Donnell. After the debate was over, he responded on twitter by referring to Megyn Kelly as a “bimbo”. He also made a statement to CNN news anchor Don Lemon that, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.” Many people interpreted this remark as a reference to her menstrual cycle. Trump just recently based Carly Fiorina’s worth as a presidential candidate on her looks by saying, "Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that?" A somewhat similar comment was posted to his Twitter account about Hillary Clinton. Trump retweeted a quote from Sawyer Burmeister, “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?”
Donald Trump’s character is questionable and should not represent the United States if he doesn’t respect many of its citizens. He attempts to dismiss his bigotry by saying he will not be politically correct. People may like his ability to speak his mind, but they don’t realize that most of his brass speaking is based upon hatred and discrimination. I believe someone with this type of track record couldn’t be an effective, strong leader and therefore shouldn’t be elected as the next President of the United States of
When one establishes a connection with their audience, it becomes easier to talk about personal and controversial things just as when she talked about what her husband has gone through regarding his citizenship and religious affiliation. She then implies that Donald Trump is immature and inexperienced to become the president; she reinforces this idea when she subtly implies Donald Trump’s “tendency to lash out” as well as him having an empty record of “public service”. After a series of statements supporting Hillary Clinton as well as the importance of equality and unity, she closes her speech by urging the audience to take part in the
What she said there was ridiculous on the account of her husband 's standing with women, which is far far far worse than the mere words Trump has said about women which are said by every man. Also no one has more respect for women than Donald Trump which is proven by the only nice things a woman who was in a pageant he held in 1997 had to say to a news reporter but they didn’t print it because the most media doesn’t want positive remarks towards Trump. In conclusion they both had their ups and downs throughout the night, but the one thing for certain is that it was not like most Alfred E Smith
Trump shouldn’t be president because he has a degree in finance rather than Law. I believe that to be president you should have to have multiple degrees like obama who has four law degrees. The president of the united states should be highly educated and if you 're not I don 't believe you qualified to be president Donald Trump also shouldn’t be president because of what he said about banning muslims. His exact words were “total and complete
Donald Trump is not a fit candidate for presidential office because of his strict immigration policy, male chauvinistic views, and risky decisions-making skills.
There are numerous people vying to be the Republican candidate for the 2016 Presidential election. Of all the current candidates, Donald Trump is one that will get America back on track because he believes in our education, he has strong opinions on immigration, and he believes the people of Americans should have their 2nd Amendment protected. One reason I would vote for Donald Trump is that he believes in our education system. When the Common Core was implemented Trump voiced his opinion. He said, “Our Common Core is a disaster.”
Trump isn’t a normal candidate, of course. But the debates are critically important for him, even more than they would be if he were a traditional nominee. As he often points out, his opponent is a professional politician who has been around for a long time. As a former First Lady, U.S. senator, and Secretary of State, she is a known quantity. Trump is an untested businessman running for the most powerful elected office in the world.
An example of him being racist is when he claims that a judge was biased because he was ‘Mexican.’ Donald Trump even admits that he has been a little childish from the language that
Why Donald Trump is Unfit to be President The 2016 presidential election results were shocking to many. Donald Trump, the newly elected president, had a surprising victory that has left many fearful for the future. He made many troubling promises during his campaign (building a wall, for example) that could be detrimental to the United States and other countries. Trump also verbally attacked and insulted other candidates and politicians during his campaign. Donald Trump is unfit to be president, because he has no political experience, frequently makes inappropriate comments about others, and often ignores proven facts in order to make his arguments.
In his mind all he sees is himself, he makes decisions based on how it will make him look and feel. He acts in a way not a leader would act more like the way an adolescent would act. He has nothing but selfish things on his mind and in his future. The question is fire him from his position or promote him, do we give him more of the power, or do we give him a goodbye and have a nice day? Logic says tell him a nice day and fire him but the public says he has my vote.
Being one with many opinions I find myself at odds with how to feel about Donald Trump. On one hand he is a pompous ass and on the other I find my own philosophy being tested as I respect everyone’s right to have opinion. In some cases I may even agree with what Donald is saying but his delivery method mostly comes off as sexist and racist, which is not what I think he means to say but that is how it is received. I bring up Donald as he owns most political news headlines as all the programs key in on him.
As you all may know America has had some pretty dysfunctional and arduous presidents from Andrew Johnson creating Jim Crow to James Buchanan, who was involved in the Dred Scott vs. Sanford case in 1857 to Donald Trump doing and creating the most controversy there ever was in the United States. Donald Trump seems to think that he has originated many lucrative businesses such as Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage and even Trump University which he thought was a very intrepid climax. His obsession with trying to be a canny businessman had failed once again when he attempted to kindle Trump Entertainments which is a casino in Atlantic city. Donald John Trump was born on June 14 in 1946. He is now an American businessman, politician,
-2015 speech. Alongside with his statement about Mexicans, Trump claimed that “Both sides were to blame” when talking about the Charlottesville Nazi attacks. In other words, he was implying that not only were the knife-wielding racists to blame for the attacks, but the people that defended themselves too. Donald insults Mexicans, stereotypes them, and practically spits on them, but becomes neutral when it goes to Nazism; if that doesn’t scream “awful morals,” what will? He likes yelling, arguing, and fighting.
Fallacies in political speeches: Donald Trump announces he is running for president. Donald Trump’s one very distinct “ability” is making a vast amount of people react to what he says. Be it good or bad, this makes him gain more attention not only in the United States, but all over the world. At the end of the day, what really matters is if his statements have, in fact, any effect on people’s votes. So for those who are not yet sure about his sincerity, it only takes a not to deep analysis of his speeches to spot serious fallacies.
She did not mention Donald Trump in her speech. She only addressed him as Hilary’s opponent. Although Obama refused to even say his name, the audience all recognized that she was talking about the GOP nominee – Donald Trump. In terms of critical thinking, she employed the Ad Hominem to attack against Clinton’s opponent. Ad hominem is known as a logical fallacy which people use to attack others by their character.
One such example is his use of a metaphor “Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.” in reference to our country’s declining economic situation, as well as the decreasing job opportunities for the less fortunate. He makes this one of his major points of influence, promising that he will raise employment and decrease those living off of the government. Trump also uses allusions to America’s declining education system in that previously mentioned quote which, if you look at the facts, is true, seeing as America spends much more on students than other developed countries, and still gets a somewhat disappointing pay out. He also uses analepsis, shown when he says, “We Will Make America Wealthy Again.
