Donald Trump's Arguments Against Political Correctness

464 Words2 Pages

I try to stay relatively quiet about elections and my political beliefs because I don't want to be called a "bitch." But you know what? If a bitch is a woman with an informed opinion, strong values, and who stands up for both of them, then I am happy to be a bitch. The world needs more bitches, to encourage girls to voice their opinions. We're especially going to need more bitches for these next four years. I am so so deeply saddened by this election. Everyone knows the disparaging remarks Trump has made about minorities, women, and the disabled. I thought this alone would have prevented him from even receiving the Republican Nomination, but alas, I was wrong. People defend this kind of speech by saying he's just speaking up against political correctness. What about patriotic correctness? Why is it all the sudden "anti-american" to admit that our country can improve. Why can't I say that I'm saddened by the fact that African Americans …show more content…

But that is not the point. Half the country (actually a little less, because Clinton won the popular vote) can stand behind him. They believe what he's saying, his lies. (Saying immigrants brings crime, when immigrants commit crime at a lesser rate than natives and help the economy, that he's going to help the middle class when he's actually increasing the taxes for 7.8 million middle class households by removing certain exemptions while giving millionaires breaks, I could go on) It has shown a divide in our country. It's frightening. And the GOP can say all they want that they don't condone the comments Trump has made, but lets face it, their base does. And who gets a candidate elected? Their base. And they have to give their base what they want or they don't get elected. Trump is the monster the GOP made. When you endorse conspiracies like the birther movement, spread lies, and play into people's fears, you get

    537 Words  | 3 Pages

    Donald Trump has been sweeping the nation in his efforts to win the Republican presidential nomination. When the media trains its lens on Trump, the country appears to be “roiled with across-the-board discontent” (Dionne). His public interactions have split the country into those who categorize themselves as the “silent majority” and those who react with complete dismay toward his radical propositions. But are Trump supporters really the “silent majority”, or are the voices of Conservatives “being amplified beyond all reason” (Dionne)? In E.J. Dionne Jr.’s editorial titled “Don’t Fall for the Media Distortion about Trump”, the popularity of Trump is questioned and analyzed based on the media’s portrayal of his political race.

    By now, anyone who has paid attention to this presidential election cycle understands how Donald Trump behaves.   When attacked or criticized, the GOP Presidential Nominee “counterpunches” with his own attacks and criticism which almost always come out harsher and unconventional. In the media, his responding rhetoric is largely portrayed and spun as the latest “new low” for his candidacy. To his adversaries, Trump’s response further proves their point he 's “temperamentally unfit” to be the President of the United States. For his supporters and the multitude of neutral independents, it matters less what Trump says when countering attacks.

Perhaps one of the most controversial electoral processes in the history of the United States’ presidency, the possible implications of Donald Trump’s leadership will most likely make this one for the history books.

    As of late the feud between the media and President Trump has escalated, this has caused the general population to be forced to decide who is the instigator, Trump or the media? I believe that while the media does retaliate, this childish back and forth was fueled by Trump and someone in his position should not focus on a petty feud such as this. I believe that as president he must show a strong image and refrain from continuing to ridicule the media. Because of Trump’s constant twitter rants about the media and the overall popularity of the issue many articles have been written on both the pro-Trump and anti-Trump side. These articles use different rhetorical devices to convey their point and get the reader to agree with them.
