A novel entry into the current presidential campaign, Donald Trump has caught the attention of many with his unique approach to campaigning for president. However, Trump 's campaign actions leave many to wonder how serious and valid a candidate Trump really is. When you look into Trump 's campaign, the answer becomes clear. Despite the fact that Donald Trump is a successful CEO and has lasted so far in the polls, his radical views of policy and inability to properly comprehend political procedures will prevent him from advancing any further than the primaries. One may notice, even only through reading his official campaign page, is that Trump 's platforms are not exactly balanced, perhaps even radical. A few times, he has been noted, …show more content…
Possibly the most notorious of Trump 's policies is his immigration reform, where he states "For many years, Mexico’s leaders have been taking advantage of the United States by using illegal immigration to export the crime and poverty in their own country (as well as in other Latin American countries)." (donaldjtrump.com) He then describes the process by which illegal immigrants will be dealt with, from ending birthright citizenship and enforcing deportation to building up the wall on the border. On 60 Minutes, when asked about how he was going to deal with the illegal immigrants who had already snuck into the country before his new policy was set in place, he was even quoted as saying "We 're rounding 'em up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. And they 're going to be happy because they want to be legalized. And, by the way, I know it doesn 't sound nice. But not everything is nice." (CBS News) As for his tax reform plan, the 60 minutes interviewer Scott Pelley pointed out many flaws in …show more content…
I know. I will say this, there will be a large segment of our country that will have a zero rate, a zero rate. And that 's something I haven 't told anybody... ...We 're talking about people in the low-income brackets that are supposed to be paying taxes, many of them don 't anyway. --Scott Pelley: You 're talking about making part of the population exempt from income tax?.. ...You 're talking about cutting corporate income taxes? --Donald Trump: That is correct. --Scott Pelley: But, there 's a $19 trillion federal debt... ...You can 't afford to do those things--" (CBS News) Trump 's plan clearly doesn 't take the federal debt into account very well, and his explanations on how to deal with that were less
Krugman references Wall Street’s assertion that there would be a push on infrastructure and tax cuts, however by prefacing Wall Street’s assertion with the phrase, “remember after the election” (2), he invalidates their argument, suggesting that it is dated. But, to an extent Krugman agrees that Trump’s presidency could prove disastrous: “Big tax cuts- and savage cuts to social programs- are still very much on the Congressional Republican agenda, and they could put it all together, hand it to Bannon, and have Trump sign it without reading”(5). This, although it is meant to highlight Trump’s destructive power, it is still in line with Krugman’s argument. Krugman emphasizes that Trump does not read, which is representative of his general inability to complete his duties as
The upcoming presidential elections focused the conversational spotlight upon the presidential candidates. Samuelson takes an aggressive stance against Trump where he hones in on the impossible “Trumpanomics,” pointing out the contradictions that “are so obvious that they raise questions about Trump’s understanding or motives.” Before getting deep into the critical article and Samuelson’s detailed explanations on Trump’s inconsistencies with his policies, readers receive knowledge on his economic plans.

The 2016 Presidential election has seen all political norms cast aside. Bernie Sanders, a far left self-proclaimed democratic socialist, and Donald Trump, a real-estate mogul and reality T.V. Star, have changed how elections will be conducted for the foreseeable future. Both candidates appeal to voters who are distraught with the Washington insiders’ inability to accomplish their goals. Trump, by the self-funding of his campaign, and Sanders, by his consistent denouncing of super PAC's, have fought to change corrupt election financing. "Feeling the Bern" has become the new trend among millennials who are enthusiastic about Sanders economic policies.

A few days ago, Trump used the chance of his inaugural address to the Congress to reiterate some important promises. He mentioned that we wanted to defeat the problem of drugs in the country and echoed the previous verbal promises of presidents, such as Ronal Reagan and Richard Nixon. His anger remained directed at hard drugs, such as heroin and never once did he mention marijuana, to the delight of many Americans. Trump promised during his speech that he will do everything in his power to slow down the drug issue and stop it altogether as part of his “Make America
In Trump Runs Free , Richard Lowry argues that the way the polls are currently going Donald Trump will only gain more support, and not be stopped. Lowry uses a sarcastic and almost annoyed tone when referring Trump winning in New Hampshire, and the people who support him. Lowry shares political strategies and refers to past elections to support his view. In his column Lowry appeals to an audience who also has similar conservative views and ideals, along with those who wish to put an end to Trumps reign; especially Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio supporters. Richard Lowry does an excellent job of portraying his opinion of Trumps recent success through the use of many analogies.

Nocera succeeds at this by restating parts of one of Trump’s speeches. In this particular speech, Trump spoke of getting America more jobs and reducing the American people’s taxes.

He believes that if he does this it would persuade companies to stay in America and would result in more jobs for the American people. To reduce the taxes, he plans to cut corporate taxes and the top income tax rate substantially.

While, Trump does not exactly give statistics and real numbers on his plan. In which this has myself take the side with Clinton, because a president has to always be ready for anything throw at them, and trump doesn’t seem to have that quality during this debate. As well as in my own beliefs, I do not believe that by lowering the taxes of the wealthy would help the middle class, except for helping themselves, and is proven in the past. America already has a 20 trillion debt that the current president created for us. America does not need more of a debt or a fail in our economy by using a method in the past that has failed for the middle
I. Introduction Donald Trump: American Hero or Villain? For many Americans, Trump is seen as the long-awaited saviour of the nation. Others see him as the man to start World War III.
That is not reducing the tax rate, we’re just making the middle pay more than the rich, and right now that is what is exactly happening. I know that most wealthy people work hard for their money, but we have people in the lower class barely getting by while the wealthy people throw around hundred dollar bills and don’t care about what anyone else thinks. They waste their money on things they don’t need while people in the lower classes struggle everyday. People that have financial disadvantages live paycheck to paycheck while the wealthy people just walk around with lots of money that they’ll waste on things they don’t need such as gold marbled tiles or million dollar perfumes. The least they can do is give a little back to the
